"Precision Engineered Timepieces"
ZINEX watch company was born from an inspiration to create the legendary beauty, hand crafted precision and
nostalgic feel of mid 20th century military style time recording instruments. ZINEX watches are a tribute to an era
when simplicity was the norm, and clean, simple design created timeless timepieces. At ZINEX we use the same
philosophy; we believe creativity is best transformed through clean bold design. Our mission is simple; create limited
production of superbly build timepieces that are attractive, highest quality, and most importantly reasonably priced.
We believe contemporary watch connoisseurs tend to sport not just any brand of watch, but to take pride in owning a
timepiece which has been ennobled by passion and creativity. At ZINEX we will always combine highest quality and
tradition with a touch of modern engineering.
"MANUFACTURING OF CUSTOM MADE TIMEPIECES"
We only use high grade mechanical movements to
make our limited production timepieces. In the old
days it took hundreds of hours by hand to make
the plates, bridges, gears, pinions, springs, to drill,
and thread the exact holes, make a perfect balance
wheel, to measure, cut, grind, smoth and pivot the
pinions, to polish and set the jewels, to make a
flawless train, design and manufacturing of dial,
the delicate set of hands, and the case. High grade
watch movement has over 150 or more precision
made individual parts.
We utilize high grade pocket watch movements
as donors to manufacture our oversize one
of a kind custom made chronograph timepieces.
They are practically the best candidate to become
an oversize mechanical work of art, we think they
are best enjoyed on someone's wrist rather than
if they were somewhere in storage. We search
the globe to find the best donor pocket watches.
We feel they desrve another life as a wristwatch!!
Our artisan dial makers create the design, texture,
and color. Only the best of materials and dial
making technology is used to make each dial.
Once the case, dial and re-manufacturing of
movement is completed, only then parts are
meticulously reassembled and lubricated with
special oils before going through timing test and
adjustment process utilizing state of the art
equipment to complete the journey to become a
one-of-a kind ZINEX timepiece.
Since we use different variation of movement
width, each timepiece will have its unique case
size specification.Once dimensional measurement
is taken; the long process of hand made case
making begins. Each case is made of high grade
surgical stainless steel via old fashion machining
and cutting process utilizing solid blocks of steel.
It takes days to manufacture one custom case.
Each donor watch goes through a comprehensive
disassembly, cleaning, and inspection process by
our expert master watchmakers. Each piece is
ultrasonically and chemically cleaned to dissolve
any dirt, contaminants and old lubricants.Then,
they are inspected for wear and functionality, if
any parts that is questionable, they are replaced
or re-manufactured to the original specification.
