Dear 121 Time Staff,
This is the testimonial I emailed to everyone I know. Thank you for doing everything right! I wish you much success! I did not see GQ magazine in your press releases, you should be in there!

It is so rare to find this type of quality in businesses today that I had to share their information with you. This company provided exceptional service, outstanding craftsmanship and delivered more than expected on the day they promised. If you decide to use them I hope you experience the same seamless process and receive an exceptional product as I did. This has to be one of the neatest purchases I have made!

Custom create your own Swiss Made time piece. The website graphics provide a very nice view of your time piece from start to finish but did not compare to the bling and quality of the product itself! Engraving is available too.

10 day Fed Ex shipping was free and the taxes were not outrageous coming from Switzerland to U.S.

Truly outstanding product!

Mr Ribordy

A quick note to say thank you for all your help. The watch has been enthusiastically received and looks stunning - and certainly stands out enough to have received a number of compliments already.

regards

Tony P.

Great news!
I am very pleased to hear that business is booming, you deserve it, with the products you put out and the very personal after-sales service to follow up with. I believe that, if you can keep up the second as well as the first, you cannot help but make a success of 121. If I had any spare cash, I would buy stock now. If I had a company of my own, I would order your watches yearly for clients!

I look forward to receiving the buckle, and wish you the best of luck, business and health for the future!

Yours

Lucian C.

Dear friends,
Youʼve made one of the my dearest present I ever received! Thank you for your concept, your product, for your quality and for the service done. Donʼt compare yourself anymore with the guys from DELL. You are "Above and beyond" them. Moreover, yours watches are not standard products! Are better ! My compliments for the marketing, manufacturing, delivering and customer service. I wish you for the future to keep the same quality standards as today you provided. For all the customers around the Galaxy: Do not buy watches from the internet, EXCEPT from 121Time.
You won another customer for life.

Chers amis vous avez juste gagné encore un client totalement fidèle.
Chapeau, Jean-Loup !

Hello Mr. Jean-Loup Ribordy,

I would like to extend my thanks and support for your company. The watch I ordered did arrive on Dec 24th in time for Christmas. It is a wonderful piece that looks better than your company site program. Dispite the time difference between us, your correspondence was helpful and as prompt as possible. I will most certainly order from your company again and recommend you to others who maybe interested in a custom watch.

Thank you and keep up the good service

Craig

Just a quick note of thanks for the outstanding customer service. I placed my order about 1:30AM (MST), on 10-20-07. I had my new 121time.com watch on my wrist in Albuquerque, NM (USA) by 10:30AM (MST), 10-26-07. The watch is superb. It has the fit and finish of any "big name" Swiss watch. As we say in the USA, 121time.com watches can truly "run with the big dogs".

Thanks Again

Salvador M.

Objet : This Watch is stupendous

I just received my watch yesterday. It looks exactly like the picture on your website, no difference at all. This was actually my first time ordering from the internet, and I've heard so many bad things about online companies, but ordering from you and receiving my watch was a great first time experience. I really wish all internet companies were like yours.

Akkermans C.

Dear Mr. Ribordy,

Yesterday I received my watch. It looks absolutely beautiful and is of outstanding quality. Thank you very much for your quick and good service. A great initiative of you to have customers design their own watch. It makes the watch much more exceptional and unique to wear.

I wish you good luck with your business in the future!

Kind regards

Christian A.

Hello...
I just wanted to say how thrilled I am with the watch you sent me. I wore it to a formal gala with my tuxedo and I had 3 people mention my beautiful watch. I am a fashion photographer, so style is very important to me and in my business. This watch with the French Blue face is stunning. I want to order a silver face version next. Thank you for making such a beautifully crafted piece. I am so proud of the quality and impressive appearance of this watch.
Merci

Qinli Z.

Thank you very much!

Dear Mr. Jean-Loup Ribordy,
Fedex delivered my watch today. I was keeping track on your tracking window of the websight.
My complements for the excellent service and I am very elated with the product too.
I am tempted to place more orders soon.
Thanking you again,

Thomas E. W.

Dear Mr. Ribordy,
I am happy to report that I received the watch referenced below today. It would have been here last week, but the local FedEx office had a substitute driver on, and he failed to find the house twice. We have had trouble with them before. We live in a rural area in the mountains of Colorado, and if one has an old GPS data base, our road is not shown.
Anyway, I am very pleased with the watch and engraving. I am sure my wife will like it very much, and am looking forward to giving it to her on Christmas.
Thank you for the excellent customer support via e-mail. I am very favorably impressed with it.
Most companies could learn a lot from you.

Prasenjit G.

Hi Jean-Loup,
I received the watch yesterday, and am thrilled by the product and your customer support.
Is it possible to get an instruction manual in english, the one provided with the product was in french & german?
Thank You once again.
Warm Regards,

Thomas B.

I received the correct backcase and leather strap today. Thank you for the prompt service. I appreciate your great customer service and have recommended your company to several of my friends.

Thank you for your quick response. More companies in this world should use 121time as an example on how to do buisiness.
I can't wait for the delivery of my new 121time time piece and doing future business with such a fine company.

I am late in thanking you for your efforts to send the watch to me so quickly. It arrived on the 13!!! It was a graduation present for my daughter and she loved it and I was so happy to have it when I needed it. Thank you so very much. You have to be an extra special person to go out of your way like this for a total stranger.
Thanks again.

Bill A.

Thank you, I appreciate your prompt reply it is refreshing :)
Your watches look like great values, thank you for Entering me in thecontest.
I think it is very smart that you allow people to customize their own watch online, what a Great idea!
Maybe you should bring this idea to the states, I think it would go overwhere well, especially if you set-up a Kiosk in a High end store, that wouldbe great.

Thank you Mr. Ribordy,
This is my second watch from you in a few weeks. After my wife's arrived, I found the quality was much higher than expected for the price. Two days later I designed and ordered my own in this order. Thank you for the discount, expect to see another order in the autumn.

Hello Daniel,That IS The Perfect way to Color Match For Me.........
In Work I Took Out My Pantone Book & Looked at it on the Coated Paper Swatch section.

There is no need to send a sample dial at this point.......it was nice of you to agree to it......
Unfortunately, I didn't recieve the attachment that you sent with the letter......but that is OK.
This does give me Great confidence to proceed .....Thank You Very Much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw the HighLite Article about your company......I was so excited & impressed by yourconcept.....I went onto your site thru their listing of companies......I have Enjoyed Literally
Hours on your site creating different combinations.......I Truly Appreciate the Opportunity to Deal with such a Fine Quality Company such as yours......A Brillant Concept for the Person like myself, who Loves Timepieces.....& Can Now Feel like a Franck Muller...Designand Purchase My Very Own 'Dream Watch'.....and not spend a whole month's salary on it.
I've also shown your site to 2 of my friends in work, who are Also Lovers of watches......

John Doe (USA)

Dear Jean,
I got the watch today and even though it took a long time coming, I must admit it is a masterpiece. I ordered that one for a friend, and now want to order one for myself.

S. G. (USA)

I love the watch. It's so unique! But I don't care for the watchband (dark brown leather strap). What is your suggestion? (…)

Sarah T. (UK)

Hi Jean-Loup
Just to let you know that the watch has arrived here okay and we are all agreed that it is great.
Thanks so much.
Regards

David P. (USA)

Thank you for your response. I did receive the watch within two days of your email. I was very pleasantly surprised when the watch arrived. It was every bit as beautiful as I had hoped and the quality of the build and materials was top notch. I work for a jeweler and we represent some of the top Swiss watch brands in the world including Rolex, Jaeger-leCoultre and Patek Philippe - so needless to say, there was a lot of interest in the watch here at work. Everyone who has seen the watch agreed that this type of quality and service at such a reasonable price is a true bargain. My favorite aspect of the watch is the fact that I was able to design it myself. I have received several compliments and have become an ambassador for your company.
Hopefully, you'll see some orders coming in from Columbus, Ohio! Thanks again for your service and good luck with your company.
Sincerely,
David P.

Dan (USA)

I got my watch last week (Order no. 23497429). And it was more than I expected. I might order another watch.
And I have question. I am an watch maker apprentice, and work under a master watch maker. We were wondering if you were looking for any assembly or service center in the US? If so we would be interested. Thanks again for the Great Watch.

Miguel G. (USA)

received my watch today approximately nine days after placing order on your site. watch is beautiful and running like a champ. it is identical to the design presented by your program at your site. will tell all my friends about you and hope to buy other models from you as your business progresses. would buy a watch for my wife's upcoming birthday in september if offered on your site. this is a must for you to develope.
thank-you again.

Patricia Z. (Switzerland)
