Re: UNSUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: Alludens - Marque Automatic
Message from creator regarding the project:
Dear Backers,
Obviously COVID-19 is rampaging as we speak and it has had an effect on funding. I've had several direct messages from backers and 'would be backers' saying the timing isn't right.
So I've taken the decision (actually about 14 days ago) to pull back from all comms/marketing of the project. We will re-launch in approx September this year.
In the meantime we do have 2 x Marque Automatic watches with straps available (matte white dial.) These have only been used to photograph (essentially never worn.)
If any backers would like these for £185 each plus P&P please email freddie@alludens.com and we can arrange this.
As a gesture of apology we are also able to offer a Kickstarter specific 25% discount code on all straps and precious metal Forza pendants (inc free shipping.) Please use code KS25 : https://alludens.com/discount/KS25
In the meantime i wish everyone well and thank you to those that backed the project: there will be another opportunity to receive the Marque Automatic range.
Regards,
Freddie
