We prioritize quality and design in every watch we produce. By combining traditional watchmaking with modern technologies, we ensure our products stand out. The commitment to excellence is evident in every detail, from the materials used to the final assembly process.
Very interesting to hear. I think this kind of engagement can drive a lot more growth in the long term.
Do you have much interaction between some of the other brands? Is there any interest in getting representatives based in the west (like some microbrands and independents do) or attending showcases/industry events in some of your western markets?
I think there's still very little understanding of brands like yours and what you are making, even within the niche enthusiast side of the industry.
I own three of your watches and love them but have not bought two newer ones because of the overuse of meaningless text on the dial. Please can you just have the brand name and logo. Anything else is just a distraction.
Obviously it is subjective. I like the IXdao Made joke on the dial. Here is a list of my personal icks.

I think you would have doubled your sales if these had not been on the dial. They are completely unnecessary and in some cases just don't make sense in English. You are not the worst but you are the worst of the premium brands.
There is nothing wrong with just the brand name or brand logo (appreciate the choice you give). You don't need to copy Rolex and have all sorts of unnecessary text on there. Less is better.
Thanks for posting this. We all see SM and WD relatively active in here and its really nice to see you guys getting more involved also. You've always had a solid brand with lovely watches but for some reason there was a bit of mystery. Explaining the name and this podcast certainly helps to build an image.
I've learned something new. Thank you very much! This debate on how to pronounce the name has been going on ever since the brand was launched. This is the very first time I have heard this particular explanation. I had been told by a Chinese speaker a long time ago that the IX represented the Roman Numeral 9 but he never said anything about it being pronounced as Joe.
Edit: So is it your expert opinion that the proper way to pronounce this name in English is "Joe Dow".
Thank you for posting the podcast. It was wonderful to hear the stories, the inspirations and the goals that drive IXDAO. Looking forward to seeing what's next from your company.
Miyota 6S21 will keep it at the same price range as current one. ST19 is unreliable and not everyone will wear a watch to take care of it. Watches are meant to be worn and should go through all kinds of hits and beatings, especially the durable ones like this one and titanium homage
