As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

From the campaign description:

There are already hybrid smartwatches in the market. But what I want is a connected timepiece that is exactly traditional and classic, without smart info display occupying the dial which is not compulsory to me indeed.

B-Uhr Connected comes in regular 316L version and 904L version. 904L grade stainless steel takes and holds a polish better and has a greater resistance to corrosion, yet demands specialised equipment to manufacture.

Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks

Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find
