I am specifically thinking of Baltic. They seem to be doing a good job, numerous models, a very well received dive watch. I’ve met the founders in person and they seemed like passionate and driven guys. Why go to Tissot or Oris when you can make your own path? The odds are low but it can be done.

Hi JTCL, I don't know where you got your 15mm thickness, but on the KS page, the watch is stated twice with a thickness of 11.5mm, which is quite common (unless you are used to thin watches).
I think it's difficult to beat Kickstarter on this
