My name is Mark Cheong and I am the Brand manager for Deutsche Master timepieces, which is currently owned by The Watch Atelier Pte Ltd, a watch distribution company based in Singapore (we are a honest company in Singapore).
I would like to appreciate you for following us on our Facebook page and offering such a comprehensive reply to this thread. However, I do notice that there might be some misunderstanding towards the brand in light of a few assertions which you have made. As such, I would like to clear this misunderstanding and seek to start off a fresh page for all of us=)
1.) The name “Deutsche Master” does not originate since 1936, it was given by us after we purchased the brand in late 2012. As such, it is not uncommon for you to feel weird towards the name as indeed, no German watch company will name themselves “Deutsche Master”.
2.) Deutsche Master is truly a legitimate German brand with its roots traced back to 1930s. It started off as a small watch repair and restoration workshop and like many small German watch atelier, it was offered to tender to produce a prototype wristwatch to the German military, however it was unsuccessful. In fact, we will be opening our very first flagship boutique in Far East Plaza and if you have time, please drop by as we have archives and records of the founder, Gerhard Schimmel etc.
3.) As stated on our webpage, Deutsche Master was dormant for over 30 years til we bought it in late 2012. A such, this explains why most of its retailers are located in Singapore as we are a Singapore based watch distribution company. In the coming months, we will be expanding our markets into Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.
4.) The movements we used are indeed modified Unitas/ETA clones. The Unitas clone are modified from 18,000bph to 21,600bph and each watch enters a strict QC process before shipment. After the purchase, we have outsourced the production to Hong Kong due to an increase in production volume. Our products are very much different from homages as the cases and movements are of a much superior quality and grade. Perhaps, you may like to drop by our boutique to have a hands-on experience.
5.) Finally, we never once mentioned that our products are “made in Germany” however we do state that it is a German brand due to its roots and history. In fact, after diving into the archives and records, we will be producing our very own cases in the near future, something more original to our roots and initial designs.
In conclusion, I hope that I have cleared the misunderstanding and assertions which you made towards Deutsche Master and provided you with the necessary information to understand more of the brand itself. You may wish to visit www.DeutscheMaster.com to get to know the brand and its history. Should you have any further inquiries please do not hesitate to contact me at mark.cheong@deutschemaster.com.
Best regards,
