Because of this the information about the watches got lost in the abundance, it wasn’t unusual to get 200 posts a day that had nothing to do with watches, let alone the Eaglemoss Watches.

We’ve created and selected several special items (scale models, exclusively commissioned art prints, collector items, etc.) to complement your collection. You’ll receive details and prices in advance so you can tell us if you don’t wish to receive these. Based in England, Eaglemoss Collectables entered into “administration”— a UK status analogous to bankruptcy in the United States — and the company’s online web shops went offline as all communication from the Eaglemoss team ended, leaving Star Trek fans and collectors wondering just what was going on. Numerous companies still manufacture watches with similar specification with both quartz and mechanical movements.According to the magazine this watch is based on Vietnam Era US military spec watches produced by various companies such as Timex and Bradley. True, the watch is not water resistant, and the quartz movement is probably not the best, but I have other watches that fulfil those requirements. TREKCORE: Last year, Eaglemoss seemed to be riding high with a number of new Star Trek announcements, and new license acquisitions like Stargate and The Expanse— and now it’s effectively out of business. What can you tell us about the recent shutdown of the company, from your experience on the inside? If you like you can skip to the next post now, which is a brief look at issue 1, the American Infantry Watch, or read on for why I’m doing this thread.

When it comes to the really deep-dive stuff, I think it might be that we have to develop some system where people express their interest before we move forward with making it. I don’t want anyone to be in a position of having to put money down, but show some commitment to those models. To counter this we set up a separate review thread to keep all the pictures and technical info about the collection in a single linear thread, just in case anybody was interested in the collection, but not our off topic ramblings, because I was still subscribing I assumed the task of posting the latest watches to the thread. That was frustrating to me as well, and I wasn’t allowed to talk to them about it. They have been really supportive, and they are determined to do everything they can to help people — particularly on the build-up subscriptions as a first priority. We were waiting to see whether the sales recovered with the 32nd-century ships. Again, it’s difficult, because you’re getting to a point when we knew that Voyager-J from Discovery Season 3 sold really well. People love that ship. I think the Nog had also just come came out, and I don’t really know what happened with the sales figures on that one. Things were starting to get a bit messy by that point. Promotional artwork for the ‘Star Trek Universe’ Starship Collection, focused on starship models from the Paramount+ television shows.

TREKCORE: Compared to the rest of the company, how was Star Trek doing? Was that product line key to the business issues — like a slowdown in Trek purchasing, too many obscure ships, that kind of thing? Again, I cannot make any promises, but I can tell you that there are people who are interested in whether that can be sorted out — just hold tight and give people a chance to try and sort something out. For a new player to have the confidence in doing those, it’s quite an ask — but if we’ve got however many thousand people that is who said, “I would really like a model of Andrew Probert’s vertical Romulan warbird,” then that might make it happen if we capture that interest in the right way, like how the original USS Titan model was from an online petition. The original USS Titan model, which only came to fruition after an online campaign proved fan interest in the then-only-in-the-novels Luna-class starship. ROBINSON: Oh, no. If people are thinking, “They got too obscure with the Star Trek stuff,” or something like that — that’s not what happened. The reasons why are more complicated and, as I say, I’m not privy to everything, but it is not because no one was buying the Star Trek ships anymore or anything like that. That is not the case.
