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.

SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Prazimus Watches - Gauge Master Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

This one is funky and quirky, so of course had to make a post about it.

The Pramzius watch brand is owned by the Détente Watch Group, a family-owned and operated business that has been importing watches from Eastern Europe for the better part of the past two decades. Brands include Vostok-Europe, Sturmanskie and Tsikolia. They have been deeply involved in the design and development process of watches for the brands they bring to North America. So, they decided to take that knowledge and experience and flow it into their own micro-brand of watches.

This is their fourth Kickstarter and their previous three campaigns have all fully funded.


Early Bird pricing is around $399
Kickstarter pricing is around $429
No word on regular pricing.

Estimated delivery is June 2021

The Gauge Master is the official watch of the VVT train museum — Vapeur Val-de-Travers — of St-Sulpice Switzerland. The inner dial is inspired by a manometer gauge from one of the historic train engines and the outer dial features genuine metal from 1800s and 1900s locomotives.

Would have been great with my old train set. Choo choo....

The dial appears remarkably legible in spite of its mega quirks. Cool!

"Alignment by Seiko"

Seriously though, pretty neat looking watch and seems reasonably priced.
Living a comeback montage.
