Techné represents a return to the fundamental virtues of a watch: sturdiness, legibility and dependability. For those who believe in carving their own path.
After 10 years of working with private labels from Hong Kong and Mainland China, the team behind Techné (established 2009) decided to relaunch the Swissest Nordic brand SIDUNA. Find out more about our Made in Europe mechanical watches at https://t.co/I0fBx374AM
In 2019, SIDUNA started to design, assemble and ship Made in Europe automatic chronographs from their workshop. Who can do more, can do less, so this year, they are collaborating with Techné on a Soprod P024 military inspired limited edition. Find more at https://t.co/yCEs9BO5rq
In mid May, we finally took delivery of Soprod P024 movements for our rendition of the American MIL-W-3818B general purpose watch. This collection is the result of a synergy between the brands Techné (established in 2009) and Siduna (established in 1929).

The Soprod P024 is used by prestigious Swiss brands such as Nivada Grenchen. It is an 11½ lines caliber based on the ETA 2824-2 architecture, and it is an 100% fit in.

We regulate the Soprod P024 in our workshop in three positions: dial up (not shown on the pictures), 12h down and 3h down; in order to replicate the natural positions of the wrist during the day.

Screwing back the Soprod's P024 rotor is the finishing touch before closing the watch, after having assembled and regulated the movement on a bench. The rotor is removed during those steps for convenience, and to allow easy fine-tuning. Find out more at https://t.co/yCEs9BNxBS
Although it seems like a shortcut from a qualitative perspective, a fitting ring made in nylon 6 instead of nickel plated brass will act as a bumper, by taking in shocks and vibrations instead of directly transferring them to the movement.

The rule of thumb to get your screw tight enough without forcing it, it to go until it stops, and then turn by an additional angle that roughly corresponds to the slit's width.

On a bright sunny day, you might have noticed how much dust flies around indoors. We go through an extensive process that involves a hand held air blower, a watchmaker's vacuum brush and all purpose watchmaker's Rodico paste. Find out more at https://t.co/yCEs9BNxBS
After working with various case back openers, we settled for an elastomer version, that creates enough friction to screw the case back in, until the slipping point. The great benefit of this opener is that the metal never gets scratched, even if the tool slips.
We receive our cases already tested for water resistance, but we run a quick vacuum test after assembly in our European workshop to make sure that everything is air-tight.

Our straps are made with Tuscan calf leather, and we punch them in-house to adapt quick release German made spring bars from Beco Technic, our supplier of choice for watchmaker's tools and consumables.
