Brand vibe
Filipino microbrand named after Odysseus's loyal dog Argos... which sets the tone: faithful, a little romantic, willing to wait twenty years. The Internet tells the tale of Ivan Jeff Soberano getting bitten by horology on a 2019 Japan trip, came home, and pulled together four collaborators during the pandemic to do something other than buy yet another mass-produced dial. Three families now: the dressy 39mm Asteri (NH38A, no-date), the field-leaning 38mm Odyssey (NH35A), and the mecha-quartz Intervallum chronograph (VK64A) co-designed with De Guzman & Co. Designed, assembled, and tested in Manila... a sentence not many independents get to own.
Sourcing & Build
InferredSourcing Notes: Movements sourced from Seiko Instruments (SII) — NH35A, NH38A automatics and the VK64A mecha-quartz chronograph caliber. Cases, dials and hands are not publicly attributed; based on price tier and Asia-Pacific norms most likely sourced from Chinese OEMs. Final assembly and QC done in Manila by the Argos team. Lume is Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 across the range. The Intervallum chronograph was co-designed with fellow Filipino indie De Guzman & Co.; technical design contributions cited as coming also from Nico Moreno / Moreno Watch Studio.

Not enough information for a duty figure
The fields above are reported facts. None of them establishes customs origin: that depends on the watch's tariff classification and a substantial-transformation analysis, and what you actually pay also depends on the seller's shipping and duty-payment terms. Ask the seller for the country of origin and whether duties are collected at checkout, and confirm rates against official sources.
