Hello everyone,

We previously released the 39mm version (SN0144-CG7).

Many of you have been asking for a 36mm version,

so the San Martin team has listened to your feedback and launched the 36mm model.

With two sizes available, this watch makes a great choice for couples.

The classic, minimalist color options also cater to a wide range of tastes.

Do you think the 36mm suits you better than the 39mm?

San Martin Watches Official

**PS:**

I would like to take this opportunity to address the concerns regarding our price increases.

Recently, a shortage of NH35/NH34 and Miyota 9XXX series movements has driven their prices up drastically due to scarcity. Consequently, our production costs have risen sharply.

The entire watch industry is currently feeling the impact of this situation.

Many brands are currently unable to source Miyota 9XXX and NH34 movements; Miyota's order schedule is already booked through October 2027.

San Martin has purchased a batch of movements at a premium to maintain sales, but this supply is only sufficient to keep our own production lines running.

Faced with this growing shortage and rising production costs, we have had to adjust our retail prices. Running a business and a brand entails countless expenses; no brand would implement large-scale price adjustments unless production costs had risen to a level we could no longer absorb. We understand the complaints regarding price hikes, but to survive amidst movement shortages and rising costs, we must make necessary adjustments. The price increases for Miyota and NH34 movements have been particularly steep.

All brands utilizing these movements are affected, and we expect more brands to follow suit with price adjustments; this is a market-driven response to rising production costs.

More severe consequences are already emerging: due to price hikes and shortages, some watch models that previously used these movements have been discontinued or redesigned to accommodate different movements. Many brands are switching to higher-specification movements, which also drives up overall product prices. Current trends suggest that supply-demand imbalances will continue to push the prices of these movements even higher. The entire watch industry is currently affected.

San Martin is actively implementing further countermeasures. As you may have noticed, many of our recent releases feature Seagull movements—such as the ST2130—which are widely accepted by the community. These movements offer performance and stability comparable to the PT5000, and there is already a wealth of discussion and user feedback regarding them within the community. Its performance and price are stable, and it is immune to the sharp price hikes caused by market shortages, making it a better fit for our requirements. Moving forward, we plan to utilize more Seagull or Peacock movements.

This will allow us to better control costs; in fact, we are already in discussions with movement manufacturers to develop custom, exclusive movements.
