Circula intro

Hi,

I am Cornelius, 3rd generation owner of Circula, a watch brand from Pforzheim, one of the two big German watch cities. My grandfather started the brand in 1955, but we are in watches already since the beginning of the last century. Four years ago, I took over responsibility and focused on direct sales, instead of mostly stores in southern Germany. Since then I am working on making the brand internationally known.

Two weeks ago, I showed our watches at the District Time Watch Show in DC and some visitors encouraged me to become active on WatchCrunch to make more watch nerds become aware of Circula. In April, I'll be in Chicago at the MicroLUX and hopefully in October again at the Windup in NYC.

Have you heard of Circula?

I haven’t heard of Circula but your stuff looks really awesome. Welcome to WC!

I have actually. The brand has popped up on several lists of “micro brands to watch” that I have read. You make an actual compression case diver don’t you?

Cool. Yes, the SuperSport is a real super-compressor case with a spring loaded caseback.

I follow you on Instagram and love the Protrail ! Nice to have you here, welcome to the crunch !

Welcome to the Crunch! I think this platform is a great place for you to reach watchenthusiasts around the world, and make your brand more known. Really nice models and colors. I like the blue and yellow on the Supersport.👍

Welcome to WC Cornelius. I hadn't heard of Circula before, but I really like the look of the watches.

The 37 sounds perfect - cant wait to see it.

I often find its the lug to lug (and lug shape) that are equally important, in some cases more so.

Nice to see you on watch crunch.

I have never heard of Circula despite being a neighbor from the Czech Republic. Really nice watches!

Thank you. I was at the RedBar Prague meetup 3 or 4 weeks ago. That was a really great experience. I am currently talking to Chronoshop to sell our watches in the Czech Republic.

Chronoshop will be a great partner. I also recomend Helveti.

Good luck Cornelius , nice designs , I hope you do well in the US market:)

Hi Cornelius, nice to see you here! I actually had heard of Circula, but haven't been interested into the watches until the Aquasport GMT, and by the time that watch was released, I already had an Archive of Our Own account and being the author of the BanG Dream! x Love Live! x South Park fic series, and if I write a fic involving Butters Stotch, his second timezone watch would be the blue Aquasport GMT on the rubber strap (usually, when any of the South Park characters has a GMT watch on their wrist, it means that the fic is set in Japan or elsewhere, but when the fic is set in South Park, both Yukina (Roselia) and Nana (Nijigaku) will sport a GMT watch on their wrist, and this also applies to when the fic is set elsewhere.) Also, Cornelius, I hope you succeed on making Circula internationally known.

Side note: I got block by four authors on Archive of Our Own, but I'll wait until you respond so I can give you their names.

I was initially planning on also doing the Windup San Francisco, but the new prices were above our this years event budget. Next year hopefully. If you can send me some contact to watch clubs in the area, that would be great. I could organize a road trip together with the guys from Formex.

Damn, I was holding off any new purchases until Windup.

·

That last one...😍

Hallo Cornelius,

I've came across a YouTube video where Jody from "just one more watch" has looked at a watch from you ! I immediately checked the internet for your website and law and behold I've found my next watch purchase on your website !

Now since I'm from Solingen NRW I don't even have to pay import taxes !

I really hope that your mission of getting your watches more on buyers radar is fruitful ! It's a shame that it's always Rolex here Omega there.....

Be sure I'll be in contact upon buying from you !!

Liebe Grüße und viel Erfolg

I love the look of that Aquasport. If you want to send me one for review I'd be happy to take a look.

ps It should be noted that I am in NO WAY qualified to review watches and the only one who listens to what I have to say is my boxer Mathilda. And she rarely wears watches.
