About this community

Radical transparency.
Community-driven design.

Code41 was founded on one principle: show everything. Component costs, supplier names, manufacturing margins — nothing is hidden. The community doesn't just buy watches; they help design them, vote on complications, and hold the brand accountable at every step.

Since 2019, Code41 has raised over €6 million directly from its community through pre-order campaigns, proving that transparency isn't just a marketing angle — it's a viable business model. This davinci.space community is the home of that conversation.

Whether you're an early backer, a curious newcomer, or a watchmaker wanting to engage with the community, this is the place where the dialogue happens — without filters, without algorithms, without data being sold.

X-Series production update: movement delivery confirmed
Great news for everyone who backed the X-Series campaign. Our movement supplier, Sellita, has confirmed delivery of the SW200-1 calibres for the first production run. Assembly begins at our partner atelier in La Chaux-de-Fonds next week.

We are on schedule and within the original cost estimate. Full cost breakdown and production photos will follow once assembly starts.

NATO vs leather for the X-Series — change my mind
I've been going back and forth on this for weeks. The poll results showed NATO winning at 54% but I genuinely think the design language of the X-Series calls for leather. The dial texture, the applied indices — it's a dress watch pretending to be a sport watch.

Look at the case profile: the thin lugs, the domed crystal, the recessed crown position. That sunray guilloché dial is screaming for dark brown vintage leather with contrast stitching.

Inside the atelier: skeletonisation workshop visit
We spent two days with Fabrice Gonet in his atelier outside Neuchâtel — the tools, the process, and the patience required to remove 40% of a movement's mass without compromising a single jewel or pivot.

Skeletonisation is one of the most unforgiving disciplines in watchmaking. One slip of a graver and a bridge that took twelve hours to thin becomes scrap.
