Code41 has long been known as the watchmaker of the people. Designed and built through crowd participation, Code41 remains fully transparent with every detail and step in watch manufacturing. The latest project, the Code41 Mecascape, is in the final stages, with exciting new updates, details, and design changes that propel this timepiece to exhilarating new heights. A credit card-sized mechanical clock that fits in a pocket, the Mecascape features a completely visible mechanism on its flat surface that is aesthetically fascinating.
The latest round of design updates to the Code41 Mecascape project brings about a better cog layout to improve efficiency and functionality. Further, the GMT disk now features a world map in the center. Sapphire crystal is used for the face, providing durability and improved legibility with its anti-reflective coating. Other changes include a titanium solid case back, instead of the popular transparent back, chosen to keep the timepiece as thin as possible. More extensive crowns and new push buttons to set the date complete the latest round of design modifications.
Ongoing crowd research is underway to finalize the last details of the Code41 Mecascape project. Online, followers can vote on their preference for the ideal color combinations and accessories. By allowing the public to have an opinion and voice in the ongoing design, the final Code41 Mecascape project will undoubtedly appeal to a broader audience.
While the Code41 Mecascape project is still underway, the creators have outlined the final steps leading to production. By October 5th, the team hopes to have the prototypes approved for the collection. Pre-ordered pieces are expected to launch on November 2nd, with more information to follow regarding the ordering process.
