Thanks Daos!
I actually got this watch for a special "family watch" project, in which on top of the existing watch that I will get, I'm planning to customise a dial for each family member. I think the classic design and a trustworthy Miyota movement fits the purpose nicely. It'll be interesting!
What do you think of my incoming watch?
Hi all, I've wanted to post about this interesting watch before, but because it was still running a Kickstarter campaign, I decided against it due to the perception that it's an advertisement for the watch. Now that the campaign's finished and funded, I'm...
Interesting!
Congrats! If your heart tells you to get it, you have made a right choice. From the photos, I like the design - date window may not be necessary :-), and the thin bezel makes it look bigger. I am more interested in how Miyota movement performs - interesti...
Agree with you there!
Thanks Ken! Yes, I also prefer no-date, or at least for the black one, a black date window. And you are right, the thin bezel actually make it look bigger. I'm also eager to see how the Miyota performs over time and will let you know!
Congratulations!
I agree with Ken. If this project spoke to you, that's all that matters. :-) Im sure you will get a lot of enjoyment out of your new timepieces, having been a part of the campaign to bring them into existence! Enjoy! Daos

Nice project... and method
I wouldn't have think about Kickstarter in watchmaking but it is a very clever way to begin with a first watch. It looks elegant and nice. Congratz to you and thanks for sharing the unusual experience. Cheers, Mark
Kickstarter is an unusual place to find some nice watches!
Thanks Mark for the kind comments! I agree it's an unusual experience to buy a Kickstarter watch project. It's an interesting platform and for micro brands, it's the perfect place to pitch their idea to potential customers. I've seen a few interesting wat...
Would be perfect at 36-37mm...
...and the placement of the date window suggests that the movement would support such a size. Lovely watches, I wish you the best of luck.
You are the right the movement is suitable for a smaller watch
Thanks Steve! I agree because of the positioning of the date window, it might look better without date. I'll see how big it looks on my wrist. Strangely, I'm slowly getting used to bigger and bigger watches :D
Classic look but two mm smaller and without date...
In my opinion, of course! Best, and congrats for your new Watch! Nicolas
Thank you Nico!
Yes, 38mm would be the ultimate dress watch size! I'm keen to see how a 40mm dress watch will look on my wrist. I really like the elegance of this watch. I'm planning to get custom-made dials for these watches as well, as part of a project, so will be loo...
