UNSUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Tzoumy Genève - Pentagonal Watch Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

There's been a LOT of Kickstarters that I've ignored of late. Poorly described, featuring items readily available directly, or just nothing compelling. Finally found something worthy of posting about. Yes this is pricey. But for what it is and what you get, pricing does seem very fair.

The Tzoumy Genève project features the distinctive pentagonal design invented by Yvan Monnet to overflow from his eponymous brand to reach a more affordable segment. This is their first campaign, but I wouldn't foresee any issues backing this one.


Super Early Bird pricing is around $1,207
Early Bird pricing is around $1,475
Kickstarter pricing is around $1,744
Regular price will be about $2,682

Estimated delivery is March 2022

Swiss watchmaker Yvan Monnet spent his career working for Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, some of the finest Swiss Watch Manufactures. In 2016, he designed the world first Pentagonal watch and produced a very exclusive series of hand-decorated timepieces, entirely crafted within the neighbors workshops.

In June 2020, Yvan met Gerrit Spalteholz during an afterwork event. That encounter would later give birth to an ambitious idea: Since Yvan already did some very exclusive watches, they would redesign together the Pentagonal watch to share an affordable fine-watchmaking piece with the largest community.


The Tzoumy is available in five colorways - Cobalt Blue, Opalin, Denim, Melon, and Anthracite.
The second hand color and minute indexes can also be chosen between 3 different finishings: Rhodium, Denim Blue or Cobalt Blue.

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

Love the melon one. And the Lando 24. Hmmm…

But concerned they may not make their funding goal.

Great find, [mention]TheJohnP[/mention]! I was just looking at the Tutima Patria this morning and this reminds me a bit of that one but not in a homage-y way. I'd back it if it had a shorter L2L...it might still look big but it's a fun watch. I share [mention]watchpalooza[/mention]'s concerns that it might not be funded.
