KINETIVATIONS
INNOVATION FOR COLLECTORS
Introducing the KC1 wireless charger for Seiko Kinetic™ and Bulova Motion Quartz™ watches. The KC1 was developed by the Kinetivations LLC Founder and Principal Engineer, who is an Electrical Engineer (and avid Kinetic collector) with more than 40 years of experience developing and manufacturing consumer electronic products. The KC1 has been designed and built to the highest quality standards using the latest technology, tools, and techniques.
The KC1 is compatible with 10 Kinetic watch calibers: 1M, 3M, 4M, 5D, 5J, 5M, 7D, 7L, 7M, 9T, as well as the Bulova BP10 Motion Quartz. Charging performance has been physically tested and verified. As well, the KC1 has been benchmarked against the legacy Seiko YT-02 Energy Supplier.
The KC1 has many advantages over the Seiko YT-02:
· Available now and supported with 2-year warranty and 14 day return policy
· Tested/Certified for the Bulova BP10 caliber
· Silent operation (the YT-02 is very loud and annoying; +16dBA above background noise, KC1 typical 0dBA)
· Higher EMF (electro-magnetic field) power which enables faster charging with larger watches like the 5M85-0AB0 (Kinetic Tuna), 5M62-0BL0 (SKA371-BFK), and enables charging of the 5D22-0AB0 Titanium Diver (the YT-02 will not charge this watch)
· Four selectable charging intervals: 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4 hours vs. YT-02 only offers 30min and 3.5hr
· 40% smaller desktop footprint
The following Kinetic watch calibers were used to physically verify KC1 charging performance: 1M20, 3M23, 4M21, 5D22, 5D44, 5D88, 5J22, 5M22, 5M23, 5M25, 5M42, 5M43, 5M45, 5M62, 5M63, 5M65, 5M85, 7D48, 7D56, 7L22, 7M22, 9T82. Some of the calibers were tested with both titanium and stainless-steel case variants. In total, 34 different Kinetic watches were tested and verified. The BP10 caliber from Bulova was also thoroughly tested.
US/Canada/Japan+ power supply is provided by default. For UK or EU buyers please specify either the UK or EU power supply.
Customer feedback to date:
- The KC1 Seiko Kinetic & Bulova Quartz Wireless Charger by Kinetivations is a product that I have been looking for since Seiko discontinued their Kinetic Charger years ago. I have charged my 3 Seiko kinetic watches, and this product seems to work perfectly as advertised. It is well-built, markings are easily identifiable, and unexpectedly noteworthy is their excellent support for their product. If you have kinetic watches, I highly recommend this product.
- I'm so glad to have a charger for my Seiko Kinetic watch collection. I had managed to charge most of them with an old Braun toothbrush charger but my Seiko Premier moon phase watch with the 5D movement wouldn't charge with this hack. It sprang to life immediately when I put it on the KC1 charger! This is a quality product that is made in USA. It even came with a test certificate showing that the seller makes sure everything is operating nominally before shipping it to the customer. Well done!
- Any Seiko collector has had at least one kinetic watch in their collection. Along with that we've searched for a device to wind our kinetic watch without having to shake our wrists until the double tick of the second hand finally stops. I ordered a KC1 hoping it would fill the bill. I am please to report that it is well made, quiet and charged both of my kinetic watches effortlessly. 5 stars on construction and effectiveness. Purchase with confidence.
- I have been waiting years for a product like this. Kudos to the team @ kinetivations for allowing us to keep using our beloved Seiko kinetics!! Have a SUN025p1 and SNP161P1. Great seller, silky smooth transaction, and oh yeah the product is WICKED awesome!
- With all the Kinetic haters out there, it's great to see someone actually helping the community. I purchased a KC1, and I also have the Seiko YT02A induction charger. The KC1 is smaller and quieter than the YT02A, with more charging options. Keep up the great work Kinetivations, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the Kinetic innovations in the future!
- This device charges my Seiko 5D88s, 5D44, and 7D48s. It is a great piece of equipment. Fast delivery. A+
- KC1 Seiko Kinetic & Bulova Motion Quartz Wireless Charger by Kinetivations Charger was packaged great, and delivered on time. Testing as we speak, and everything is functioning as designed. This is an excellent charger, for those of us that love our Kinetic timepieces! Good Work Kinetivations!
- This is a very well-designed unit and works as good or better than the Seiko YT-02A. For the price, it's a must-have for people with more than one Seiko Kinetic watch and works very well with Bulova Millenia motion Quartz watches as well. Shipping was very fast, too. THANK YOU!
- Fast delivery to Europe. Working like a charm. A Seiko Direct Drive from empty to full within 2 hours. In Japan a seller has a mechanical charger for Kinetics but it works at high speed, so the watch mechanism is heavily loaded in this way. The Kinetivations system is far to be prefered because there is no strain on the mechanics. I can highly recommend the Kinetivations and digisan924 with his aftersales.
- Very useful device professionally made..a must have for SEIKO KINETIC owners..
- Fast shipping, great communication, and great item! Works perfectly on my kinetic watch!
- Wow - leave it to the free market to come up with this -- far less than original SEIKO units. Thanks so much...
