Kaal Watches out of Singapore have launched their first Kickstarter campaign for their debut collection, the Multiverse Edition.
As an avid fan of quirky, this should be right up my alley. But for some reason, not feeling this one.

Kaal Watches is new, but comprised by Alvin Lye, co-founder of the Azimuth Watch Works Company, Jessie Yeo, Alvin’s better-half, and the co-owner of Trifoglio Italia, and Alvin Lew, watch blogger and reviewer at Micro Brand Watch World. So they definitely have some credentials to bring this project to fruition.


Super Early Bird pricing is around $399
Early Bird pricing is around $428
Kickstarter pricing is around $462
Regular price will be about $699

Estimated delivery is February 2021

The Multiverse Edition series of watches are representative of one of the three main aspects of our solar system: the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun.
(They) want to use the Multiverse Edition watches to make a new statement with watches, by using the series of cosmic relationships between the Earth, Moon and Sun to make the task of telling time interesting and fun.

There are three variants to the Multiverse Edition - Gaea (Earth), Sol (Sun), and Artemis (Moon)

Why do I feel like I've seen more or less this exact design before.[emoji848]

Did Xeric not do one like this before? This going to bug me....

I actually really really like these. I know xeric does something similar, and my avi-8 hawker harrier Pegasus has the same design in terms of the timekeeping, but none of them look this good! I love the space theme.

They do kind of give you a xeric vibe, similar concept anyways. Personally I'm not a big fan of these sorts of designs, but can appreciate that they're trying to create something different.
