Confidential Discussion

For established watch manufacturers, investors and innovation partners interested in HAYKES

After more than twenty years of development, I have decided to step back from HAYKES and make the complete concept available for acquisition.

I am open to confidential discussions with established watch manufacturers, watch groups, investors and strategic innovation partners interested in acquiring HAYKES and taking the concept into its next stage of development.

The opportunity can include the complete design and development of HAYKES, including concepts, designs, technical development, visual material, documentation and intellectual property rights owned by me and legally transferable.

Complete acquisition is the preferred option.
Licensing, co-development or exclusive brand collaboration may also be discussed where appropriate.

After more than twenty years, I believe HAYKES deserves a new home.

All enquiries are handled with discretion.

THE COMPLETE HAYKES CONCEPT IS AVAILABLE FOR ACQUISITION

STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES FOR WATCH MANUFACTURERS

  • IP-protected innovation
  • efficient LED-based visual signalling
  • integration into analogue architectures
  • differentiation from smartwatches
  • storytelling potential

Strategic Advantages for Watch Manufacturers

✅ IP-protected innovation
The HAYKES concept is protected by intellectual property rights held by Sijbers Producties.

✅ Designed around efficient LED-based visual signalling
The concept uses controlled LED activation, timing and fading to create visual information with an efficient light-based system.

✅ Designed for integration into existing analogue watch architectures
HAYKES retains traditional analogue hands while adding a new visual layer.

✅ Clear differentiation from smartwatches
HAYKES adds technology and functionality without turning the traditional watch into a conventional smartwatch.

✅ Strong storytelling potential for brands and collections
The combination of time, sunlight, nature and technology creates a distinctive story that can be translated into product design and brand communication.

HAYKES is designed to integrate innovation into established watchmaking — rather than replace it.

THE HAYKES OPPORTUNITY

HAYKES is now available for discussion with established watch manufacturers, watch groups, investors and innovation partners.

The preferred opportunity is acquisition of the complete HAYKES project, including the available design, concept and development material.

Alternative structures may include:

  • complete acquisition
  • licensing
  • co-development
  • exclusive brand collaboration
