A GROUP OF WATCH ENTHUSIASTS
BEHRENS ORIGINAL is a group of watch enthusiasts gather and create a brand that is based in Hong Kong. We specialized in watchmaking and watch modification, in which we take pride in what we do. Our founder, B.Q.Jack, has more than 15 years in watchmaking – which we genuinely called him the watch factory master. With a group of designers and engineers works perfectly, interesting ideas and developments come out every day!
We want our watches to be well-made and with a high-end quality, which has been acknowledged and proven by 600+ backers and customers all over the world. We are being discussed on many forums and groups organised by watch lovers.
Our three successful Kickstarter campaigns:

WHAT IS NEW THIS TIME?
THE MOONLIGHT = affordable price + in-house regulator + moon indicator + day-night indicator + miyota9015 + sapphire crystal + premium watch case
We always want to be the game-changer in the watchmaking industry. Last time we have the very own time-telling mechanism aka wandering hour watch – THE SPACESHIP. It was a huge success and you can hardly find a microbrand having a complete unique module watch at this price point. And this time we would like to dive into another watchmaking category – Regulator.
AN IN-HOUSE REGULATOR
Regulator is a watch that has all of its time registers separated. In fact, some movement like Miyota 8217 offers “already-made” regulator function which is used on many other brands. However because it is subject to the movement itself and thus, the function and the location of the hands are almost the same.
We make our own regulator module based on Miyota 9015 and we make changes based on what we want. The perfect balance of the minute and hour hands and a big display of the moon indicator are what we want to achieve.
A Brief History of Regulator Watches:

HOW IS IT DONE? IS IT STABILE?
We modified the movement by adding a module with 7 gears onto it. All the parts including the gears and the top plate are manufactured by our own factory. Modifying a watch movement is not easy as a little error on gears will ruin the movement. We tested it as usual for more than 9 months for maximum reliability and stability.
HOW TO TELL THE TIME? WHAT IS THAT MOON?
We relocated the hour hand to the bottom left and the minute hand to the bottom right. It makes a perfect balance together with the centred second hand. We also modified the movement to have a day-night indicator at the bottom of the watch.
Moreover, as our first Kickstarter project – THE MOON PHASE is still very popular and widely discussed in many forums and pages. We decided to make a lume “moon-indicator” at the top of the watch which gives you an idea if there is an observable moon in the sky.
*Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 is used for numerals which emits a Blue-Green glow in the dark and looks white in the daylight condition.

MULTI-POLISHING CASE 220% MORE COST
The excellent case design is one of the significant symbols of our watches. It is also widely loved by 600+ BEHRENS ORIGINAL customers. This time, we decided to provide the highest standard case we can get for you all.
The premium watch case we used on THE MOONLIGHT is exactly the same as we use on the premium standard on THE SPACESHIP. There isn’t any bad or tier 2 cases in BEHRENS ORIGINAL. All of our cases are the top tier ones which is more than 220% of the cost of normal watch cases.
In order to make it more sharper and smoother, the watch case is manufactured independently into 3 parts- the two lugs; and the body itself, so as to polish them independently. It then gives out a new level of polishing and exquisite than a normal case. Such costly production method could only be found in luxury watches production.
The case is made of 316L stainless steel which is widely used in high-end watches. Multi-polishing methods are applied: including mirror polished on the bezel and the edges of the lugs, horizontal brushed on the sides, vertical brushed on the lugs and circular brush on the back. And for this time, we redesigned the dome-shaped sapphire crystal in order to have its smooth and clear curve.
Although these production methods are long and costly, and sometimes it is unnoticeable until you have a closer look, we aim to give you the best, attractive, durable, and elegant watch cases.
*Every watch is individually numbered.
SLIM WATCH – 7.9MM REGULATOR MECHANICAL WATCH
Slim appearance is the iconic design element of Behrens Original. Our slim design is adored by 600+ Behrens Original backers and supporters.
In order to have a nice mechanical watch with a thin design, we provide the best we can: With the well-designed cutting of the case and the super-high quality redesigned dome-shaped sapphire, our watch provides an incredible slim appearance. The thickness of the watch is only 7.9mm, exclusively the dome shape sapphire. With the dome-shaped sapphire, the total height is only 10.5mm.
Every part of our design is uniquely made for reaching our goal: a thin mechanical watch. We have gone under many tests on making a thin, durable watch. Our design team remade the dial part more than five times to remove 10-30C each time. There are no words can fully describe the hardship we had in the process, but we have put our efforts wholeheartedly in making this unique yet slim mechanical watch.
OUR MOVEMENT – MIYOTA 9015
We modify the regulator and the day-night indicator from Miyota 9015.
Movement is the soul of all watches and that is exactly what attracts all watch collectors. Our factory has more than 10 years of experience in the Swiss and Japan movement watchmaking and watch modification.
This time we selected the Miyota 9015 for our movement, which is well-known for its slimness, reliability and stability. This Japan movement functions with a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 A/h), 24 jewels, 42-hour power reserve, automatic winding, and a sweep second movement. With a movement of height 3.9mm and 26mm overall diameter, it is super slim. Combining both thin body and functionality, this movement is only used in high-class watches. Although the price of this movement is very high, we persist to provide the best we can.
*the first sample comes out 9 months before to test the reliability and stability. It is running very great for months.
SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL ONLY – 3.8MM THICK
For producing luxurious watches, we persist to use only sapphire crystal for both sides of the watches. Due to the remarkable hardness of sapphires – 9 on the Mohs scale, our watches can hardly be damaged by plain scratches. Thus, we believe that sapphire crystal is the most suitable material for daily wear.
Dome-shaped sapphire crystal is used to give an ultimately slim appearance to the watch. As sapphire is a hard material (A 5mm thick raw sapphire material is used to craft into a 3.8mm dome-shaped crystal), it is beyond difficult to make the dome-shaped sapphire. Since it is costly and time-consuming (our machine can only produce 3 pieces of dome-shaped sapphire crystal max. per day), the yield rate is low.
ACCURACY – 7 DAYS, T0, T24 TESTS
Watch modification and movement tuning are our central focus. As such, absolute accuracy is always on our important checklist. We ensure the quality of every part by using strict control testing standards before assembling the watches.
The testing procedure lasts 7 days
Day 1 Before assembling the watches, the movement is fully wound (also known as T0) mechanically. The movement is tested in five positions, crown left, crown up, crown down, dial-up and dial down. Then given a rest period of 24 hours(also known as T24) , the movement is tested again in the five positions.
Day 3 After assembling all the parts together, the watch is put into an auto-winding machine for 1 day. The watch would be fully wound and be tested with the same testing procedure in Day 1.
Day 5 The watch keeps putting into an auto-winding machine. The watch would be fully wound and be tested with the same testing procedure on Day 1.
Day 7 Before packing, the watch is fully wound(T0) and is tested in five positions again.
All our watches have to pass all of the above procedures before delivery. We make sure that the accuracy of our watches is highly maintained in -20~+20 seconds/day. We tested the watches in more positions than the normal quality checkups do – we tested the watches in 5 positions while the others tested in 3 positions only.
We need to ensure the watches are adequate in every situation. We then on-wrist tested the sample watches for more than 9 months before we started our Kickstarter campaign. The stableness of BEHRENS ORIGINAL watches is highly guaranteed.
