Heritage 38 Chronograph Owners & Backers,

Some of our regular customers and Kickstarter backers may be surprised to see a “Heritage 38 Chronograph Production Phase” update while the campaign is still ongoing, as this type of update is normally shared only after a campaign has ended.

To help expedite delivery for everyone, I have already placed an advance production order with our supplier for the Heritage 38 Chronograph components (watch case, bracelet, and caseback). My goal is to shorten the waiting time and deliver the watches to all backers as soon as possible.

This is also my way of showing appreciation to everyone who continues to support and believe in our brand.

After the Kickstarter campaign ends, we will be shifting pre-orders back to our official website. For those who have not backed the project yet, this would be a good opportunity to do so before the pricing increases.

We’re incredibly grateful to announce that the Heritage 38 Chronograph campaign has officially reached its funding goal in just 20 minutes after launch.

To everyone who backed, shared, commented, and supported us from day one — thank you. Your support means more to us than words can express.

Studio Archive & Prototype Collection

Over the years at MMI Watches Singapore, we have created numerous prototypes and early production pieces throughout our design and development process. Some of these watches were also used for photography, display, and reviews by watch media and YouTubers.

As our archive has grown, we are now releasing a limited selection of these pieces to collectors.

This collection presents a rare opportunity to own timepieces that were part of our design and development journey.

Each watch is fully functional, though minor signs of handling may be present.

Quantities are extremely limited, with many being one-off pieces.

Types of Watches Available:

The collection is divided into four categories:

Prototype – Unrefurbished

Early development pieces used during the design phase. These remain in original condition and may show cosmetic marks from handling, testing, photography, or reviews.

Prototype – Refurbished

Development pieces that have undergone light cosmetic work, such as case polishing or cleaning, while retaining their original prototype configuration.

Production – Unrefurbished

Standard production models previously used for photography, display, or YouTube reviews. Minor cosmetic marks from handling may be visible.

Production – Refurbished

Production models that have received light cosmetic refurbishment to improve appearance, while remaining mechanically original.

Condition & Pricing

Pricing is based on the condition and rarity of each piece.

Nearly New Watch Terms

For Collectors

Many of these pieces are unique development models that will not be produced again. They represent an important part of our design journey and are offered to collectors who value the story behind each watch.

Once sold, these pieces will not be reproduced or restocked.
