Something on a mopet. With kickstarter i am impressed at the start. After the smoke cleared i loose so fast interrest that i forget it faster than a comet. On the other hand i have sorrow with them. A dream, a passion, they work so hard and it is almost r...
But some have parlayed that initial Kickstarter effort into a real brand....
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 ...
Any view on the latest Baltic x Worn and Wound?
I like the design, and the warm copper dial. Seems like a fun brand with a bit of quality and substance (hopefully). All the best, Niall
Was interested until I find out the height..
15mm is too tall for most watches, let alone a dressy piece
Hi I was just looking at the specs
On Kickstarter to find out that the case height is advertised to be 11.5 mm including the sapphire crystal which is ok IMHO.
They dmed me this info on ig
Perhaps it is misquoted. Anyhow, still not a big fan of such tall pieces especially on my small wrist
The height is 11.5mm
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
Hi Ronald, Unless you have very deep pockets, it's quite difficult to start a watch brand (or any brand, in fact). You have to get public interest, you have to invest $$$$ to start producing watches (or any other gizmo), hoping that it will find customers...
I hope my friend (R de Jong its a good friend of me )will make his deadline . Its a great looking watch for a very reasonable price imho
I bought the blue and white one so hope to strap them on my wrist asap 🤗
