Yeah, too bad about the Uchronos, it looked a bit promising !
They must be having some serious issues ....
Regards,
Well, I am hoping that Borealis can take over from where UChronos had left off. After all, they had good experience from doing the sapphire bezel for the Estoril. Plus Maria can also tap on the experience from Prometheus Sailfish.

I don't mind paying in the same price point offered by Helson, as long as the following design spec are met.
1) Same design layout as Blancpain's in my opening post, for the dial, hands and bezel insert.
2) Not more than 42 mm case size.
3) Shorter than 50 mm lug to lug distance. Even lugless design like the pending Medusa project is fine too.
4) Thickness less than 13 mm, with water resistance at 200 m is fine.
5) Domed sapphire bezel insert like Prometheus Sailfish, and double domed sapphire crystal like Estoril, with bezel insert being lower or equal height as the main sapphire crystal.
6) Drilled lugs, like the Estoril.
However, I also understand such design might not have broad appeal, as they are viewed as "copy" of the original design. But I am certain Borealis can easily sell 200 pcs of this, if all the elements gel nicely together.
Come to think of it, I willing to pay up to $1k for the above. No kidding.
