The Story of Vario

[@claudtalkz2194]

Great storytelling, charming watches….

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks

[@cameronaitkens5317]

This is an amazing video, because even though I have been able to speak with you before and have many good conversations, this really puts a proper face and voice to the name, and it is really awesome to see you and Judy and a bit more of a behind the scenes. Always excited to see what you come up with!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Happy to know you like the video.

[@billnichols4821]

Now I know I'll buy another Vario watch. What an informative video and you (Ivan) seem like a truly decent person. I live in CT, USA and purchased the Versa last year. I really like it and wear it frequently and it's $10K less than a Reverso - not that it is trying to be one. It has its own style and identity. All your watches offer great value and my guess is that 99% of Vario purchasers feel good when it arrives. Well done. May health, happiness and good fortune always be yours!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your encouragement :)

[@rsridhar63]

You can add to that list of countries, India, which is where I come from. A happy owner of 1918 Trench since June 2021 bought at the time of launch through Kickstarter. Was delivered to a friend in Singapore who brought it to me on his visit here.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for your compliments!

[@alexanderdavis5884]

I wear the cream and orange trench most days and I love it more and more. Thinking of getting another Vario soon; thanks Ivan and Judy for making the watch purchasing experience so enjoyable.

[@VARIOeveryday]

You're most welcomed :)

[@vpapadim77]

Awesome video. Love Singapore 🇸🇬

[@VARIOeveryday]

My friend Jason did a good job on this one despite the low budget.

[@Numptee86]

Great video! I'm so excited to receive my first Vario (1918 Trench 40mm). It's so great to see a micro brand that has an honest passion for making quality watches....already I can confirm their customer service is far beyond what I'd expect when purchasing a watch online....looking forward to seeing what Ivan designs next!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your support!

[@joeygreen77]

I love your products. Great documentary. Well done Ivan. You came across very well. 👏

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@Mauricio.Solorzano]

I just purchased the 1918 Trench White Dial with Orange Lume and waiting to receive it. From the video reviews I've seen so far, it looks amazing like no other vintage-like watch I've looked at. Keep it up, Ivan! By the way, my son's name is Ivan too ... take care!

[@VARIOeveryday]

What a coincidence!

[@DjiDo]

Lovely Video! I love your devotion, your nearness to the people and the standing behind your products. You really nailed it with the 1918 Series and I am glad that I have discovered you. Best wishes to both of you from a happy customer!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for your compliments

[@baldeagle6128]

Great video Ivan. I love my white medic, your seatbelt natos are very comfortable and functional on a variety of watches, and your strap roll for 30 straps has tidied up my study! Thanks

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for watching! and thanks for your support! Glad the roll is of use to you

[@BruceJackson-lx2dw]

An informative video: your watches do have an immediate visual appeal. From the background scenes, Singapore looks nice & clean. Thank you.

[@richardgarland4562]

Great video Ivan, I have one of your 1918 trench watches and don’t take it off! I smiled when you mentioned your reliance on your mobile for the time! And have now turned back to your trusty watch! Me too. Nice too hear more about the man behind Vario 👍🏻

[@VARIOeveryday]

Always good to know the seller abit more but I'm camera shy

[@fletchoid]

Excellent video. I only have one Vario watch so far, but am developing quite a collection of Vario watch straps. They are reasonably priced, and allow me to quickly change the look of the watches in my collection. The designs are unique and fashionable. I keep an eye on the latest watch creations and look forward to having another Vario watch in the future.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for considering us :)

[@robertsiringo2324]

Great job. I appreciate knowing a little more about Vario and you. I missed out on the Empire watches. They are beautiful. I do, however, own a trench.

[@VARIOeveryday]

More Empires coming in 2022

[@Vic92084]

It's wonderful to see that the sharp designs are backed by an equally well-rounded psychology. Ivan, you're the kind of businessman we need more of in the world. You do your country proud.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your compliments

[@davidkarp4593]

This is great. Can't believe i just saw this! Well done. I have two Vario watches and several straps. All are top notch.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your support and encouragement

[@gordonewan144]

What a great video! Lovely to see behind the scenes and hear what inspired you.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Behind the scenes are always interesting. Fun facts too!

[@melspinella30]

Huzzah Ivan and Judy! Great video and great story. So happy to be one of your many satisfied customers. I love my Vario watches - you have created your own space amongst the many faceless microbrands. Keep creating such timeless and beautiful watches for those of us who appreciate what you do. All the best!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your support!

[@Skyler.Santana]

Thank you for making this video Ivan. It builds a stronger connection with your clients and it’s nice to know the roots of the company. Vario is very exciting for me and I am already fully enjoying your products from day one of receiving my orders.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Happy to hear that!

[@realwarriorscholar]

Ivan and Judy, I’m truly inspired and excited about my own journey and following yours. Best wishes from the USA 🇺🇸 Joe

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you so much!

[@MyAffordableWatchCollection]

Great video! It was nice to get to know the good people behind Vario and what motivates them.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Glad you liked the video

[@HorologyinSanity]

Great video, Ivan! Your success with Vario is well deserved. And one of the best joys of the watch hobby is getting to know other watch enthusiasts around the world. As such, it was a joy to watch this video so that we could get to know you better. Thanks for that. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for Vario.

[@VARIOeveryday]

We have lots of ideas so hopefully we'll continue to make more... 1 at a time for watch enthusiasts

[@dalegamble1173]

I own the 1918 trench watch , absolutely superb.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Glad you like yours

[@smallwristsbigtimes7849]

Really enjoyed this video, and so very heartened to see a fellow Singaporean pursuing their passion with a great spirit leading your way. Hope to pick up one of your watches soon!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for your encouragement

[@Art_by_Joe]

Amazing! I really LOVE the Trench model in brass. What a lovely watch, hopefully I’ll get one in the upcoming year.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Looking foward to be of service to you :)

[@stephenwedan1765]

This is an great video, Ivan! I’m looking forward to receiving the bands I ordered today. Thank you for your commitment to excellence!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Hope you get them soon :)

[@direnzowatches]

Excellent work Ivan! Best wishes for your amazing endeavor!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks! Love your work too!

[@WatchComplications]

Congrats Ivan and Judy. Very happy to be involved with Vario and your great products. :)

[@VARIOeveryday]

Happy to be able to work with you too :)

[@roberts.4582]

Great video, Ivan. Thanks for giving us a window into your journey. I love my Empire automatic and have really appreciated the personal approach that you and Judy bring to your business. Best wishes for even more success in 2022!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Glad you enjoyed the video :) My mate Jason did a good job on it.

[@switzknight]

Discovering this video just now. In time for Vario’s fifth anniversary. Great to see you both and hear from you the summarized story of the brand. Tomorrow will be “V” day. I’ll be there!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for being with us on our journey

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your compliments

[@marcocammozzo7553]

Lovely video! I just fell in love with the 1918 trench watch, I will definitely have to get one when I'll be able to! I would be very happy to be a part of this project!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for your support!

[@akaRyuka]

I can't wait for my tweed strap to arrive to put it on my Seiko Cocktail Time Mockingbird! So good to see where you're coming from, as a graphic designer myself, and I'll be even more happy to wear a Vario strap now I know the story of this brand!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Hope it gets to you soon. I love hooking up with creatives :)

[@TheLumeRoom]

Fantastic video, Ivan! Brilliant watches and I can honestly say the Vario leather straps are the best I've EVER tried!

[@VARIOeveryday]

More leather straps launching this year!

[@Nicknoname1789]

Great video Ivan!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Glad u enjoyed it

[@bartglover22]

Well Done Ivan. Very enjoyable video. Old Irish Saying “When God made time, He made plenty of it.” Ride On Ivan and may the road rise to meet you.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for the encouragement !

[@kevinleighuk]

Great video. I've been looking at your trench watch design and it's really useful and informative to learn something about your journey so I know what is behind the brand.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for your encouragement!

[@steven3379]

I really like your brand and design style, the Empire and Trench are 2 of my favorite watches of all watches not just microbrands.. 👍👍 It was great to see the people behind the Company!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Glad you like them

[@alekhidell7068]

It would be excellent if Vario were to release a completely authentic 1918 Trench Watch, in 36mm without the logo on the dial. I would surely buy one.

[@alexscharoff5028]

I appreciate this personal introduction!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@moorwatch9654]

Brilliant video, I just ordered the black dial white lume 1918 and I can’t wait for it to arrive, I’m hoping to to do a little review on it soon after I get it and compare its design to an 1891 Waltham pocket watch I have, small seconds on wrist watches are one of my favourite complications and many brands don’t get then right (Certina) but the 1918 looks stunning in the photos, keep up the good work 👍

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for your support!

[@HeyYouSir]

Well said. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks for watching!

[@I-Libertine]

Inspiring. Congratulations!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks

[@abhishekmehra6583]

Congratulations & best of luck Ivan! Was really interesting knowing about your journey into watchmaking :)

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your encouragement!

[@andysmith7903]

Stunning video Ivan, really enjoyed the history and philosophy of Vario. Keeps up the good work. BW Andy.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Many thanks!

[@edwardhillenbrand6316]

I just ordered a 40 mm trench watch and I can't wait to see it on my wrist.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your support!

[@harrychefitz9470]

After buying a couple of expensive, luxury brand watches for thousands of dollars, I thought I’d dip my toe into the microbrands and see what I can get for $300-$400. After a bit of research, I found you and was intrigued by the husband and wife team. When I saw your watches, I had a hard time deciding between the D12 and the Empire, and then which design within each! I ordered the D12 in green and am looking forward to a long relationship with you. Best of luck.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your support and encouragement

[@ColinLack]

I love the brand. I own the Empire in sky blue (I'm the guy who posted his with the HyperX mic on instagram! :P ) and the Trench Watch. The Trench feels the most like me and is basically my every day watch. I just wish fun coloured leather straps sold better because there are so many ideas I want for this watch (bund style) but I doubt they would sell enough for it to be worthwhile for you. I am however excited for the dress straps you're producing eventually (if that's still happening) because that red you showed back in the summer would be a fun colour!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Keep your eyes peeled on us!

[@a3s3i3f3]

Highly recommended

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks

[@alekhidell7068]

It would be excellent if Vario were to release a completely authentic 1918 Trench Watch, in 36mm without the logo on the dial. I would surely buy one.

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thank you for your suggestion. We don't set out to make replicas but wanted to infuse our own take.

[@frankmastromauro5630]

Good video

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks

[@jackiechaniago]

I m waiting the Vario gmt collection..😅

[@VARIOeveryday]

Thanks!

[@alaingyseling]

What a great video ! Fedex will be ringing on my door in 5 day's with the WW I homage watch. It's gonna be a long 5 day's :) ! Can't wait to wear this beautiful time peace on my wrist !

[@VARIOeveryday]

Hope you get your watch soon!

[@yump]

hmm really thinking of the versa if my wife lets me, LOL.

[@OlsenTheWonderDog]

Your background and emphasis appears to be on the design aspect of the watch, but you don’t address the mechanical aspect of the watches, i.e., the technical movement, which is by far the most important feature of the timepiece because that is what tracks the time. So, while I’m impressed with your design, I know nothing about your technical qualifications and the movements that you choose to incorporate in your watch. Perhaps, you could spend a little bit of your nicely choreographed infomercial to address what makes your watches tick!

[@VARIOeveryday]

Good suggestion! If I make another video in the future, I can talk about my movement choices.
