SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Arcaido Watch - Primo customizable bronze collection

Post by TheJohnP »

This is the first Kickstarter campaign from Arcaido Watches out of Italy for their customizable bronze Primo collection - 3 hander and GMT.


Special Kickstarter pricing through 12/18 for the auto 3 hander is about $453
Regular price will be around $1,079

Special Kickstarter pricing through 12/18 for the auto GMT is about $608
Regular price will be around $1,321

There are other pledge levels if you want a leather or rubber strap, a wooden box, or a wooden box with extra tools.

Estimated delivery is June 2020

The main selling point that sets this campaign apart is backers can add personal touches to their made-to-order watches, such as custom printing (including signatures, drawing, customer's initial) on the dial. (It is possible to remove the diciture at 6 o'clock in order to have more space for you)

I was thinking "Cool! I could get another MoT watch!"

Then I saw the price. :lol:

I'll stick with the one from [mention]Sporkboy[/mention], it's more meaningful anyway.
