Sourcing Notes: Independent watch studio founded by collector Tim Hermes and based in North Carolina, USA. Each watch is hand-assembled in NC from components sourced through Asian OEM partners. Lineup leans heavily on Japanese automatic movements (Seiko NH35 across most divers, Seiko NH34 for GMT models, Miyota 9015 for thinner builds) plus Miyota quartz chronograph calibers. Cases are predominantly 316L stainless with sapphire crystals; lume is Super-LumiNova. Specific case/dial subcontractors are not publicly disclosed.

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.
