It's time for another round of Kickstarter watches. Here are a few that have caught my eye.
Boetti
I often complain that modern dress watches a just a little too large. Boetti
solves this problem with a tidy 36mm case that is just under 10mm thick
and still manages to squeeze in a Miyota 9015. The Roman numerals,
dauphine hands and vibrant blue ceramic second hand are quietly
attractive. With front and rear sapphire crystals, Italian leather
straps, and pre-orders available from just $220, the Boetti is an appealing proposition.
Straton Curve-Chrono
The Straton Watch Company returns with another automobile-themed stunner. The Curve-Chrono
is a barrel cased chronograph reminiscent of a Heuer Montreal. It
features a domed sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance, and a dizzying
array of options: five dial colors with or without date, 39.5mm or 42mm
cases, steel or black finishes, Seiko VK64 mechaquartz or NE88
automatic movements, leather or mesh straps,
and a choice of two of seven racing livery NATOs. You even get to
select one of two stamped racing wheel case backs. The Curve-Chrono
starts at $289 for the quartz and $703 for the automatic. While you're
at it, why not get a pair of colorful Stratton driving gloves for $92?
Stay tuned for a full Time Bum review.
Taniwha Ururoa
Taniwha is back for another go with their 200m dive watch. Previously featured on The Time Bum,
it boasts a Seiko NH35 automatic movement, a sapphire crystal, and some
of the wickedest crown guards you've ever seen. Three colors and two
bezels are offered, starting at just $240.
Valachio Pantiam
What's
this? Another minimalist quartz on Kickstarter? Well, yes, but while
the 40mm, drilled-lug case and stick-marker dial may be familiar, the Pantiam
gives you a Ronda 763, sapphire crystal, and choice of nifty calf
leather straps with quick release bars at a bargain price. Pre-orders
are still out there for $75.
