Hello, I am Michael Happé from Belgium, and Gavox Watches founder

Dear WatchCrunchers, I have been on the platform for a couple of hours, and it looks like a nice place to share pictures and opinions about watches.

I studied agricultural engineering at school, worked in I.T. as a network manager, and then was a freelance Project and program manager.  

At 40, I wanted to produce my watch brands learning from my cousin who worked at Longines. I created Gavox Watches in 2011 

 I love making watches  and creating something different and with novelty 

If I like what I create, there will undoubtedly be someone out of the 8 Billion people in the world who would like what I make 

Since the start of my watch's journey, I have been blessed by all the people I met. Having a microbrand allows me to know every single of my clients. 

Feel free to ask anything, and I'll be happy to answer. 

P.S. I collect other watches, mainly other Microbrands "Halios, Aevig, Ravens, Bolders, Zelos, .. some vintage and Citizen, Casio   Seiko, and G.S. +...

Cheers

Mike

I like the Gavox Longitude GMT with Kolsterised case hardening.  Unfortunately I couldn't find any videos of it.

Hello Micheal and welcome to the community!  Among all the different movements you have in your watches, which ones do you like to work with and use the most?

Dear @Faz2.0 thanks, and let me give you my answer

I love using Miyota Mvt, the variety of designs I can use is endless and exciting. 

I have been using many of them since the beginning. 

Miyota 8219, 8218, I love them so much that I bought 500 when they announced the end of production, as I want to keep making my Gavox Legacy.

Being a native Californian, it has to be Highway One but I think the Atlantic ocean Road is the best looking.

·

Great to see such an esteemed member of the watch community here! Welcome and I hope you enjoy the site

·

Happy to see you here. In the beginning of my watch journey in looked a lot to havoc. I guess I need to look again at the catalog

·

I'm new here aswell and it's great to see founders too. But i looked the foto closely and i don't think i'm gonna be a customer soon.ImageThose prices are a bit to steap for me.
