SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Galvin Watches - Loimu Collection, Inspired by the Aurora Borealis

Post by TheJohnP »

This will be the second campaign and the first was successfully funded.

I grew up in northern Finland under the Northern Lights. The colours of the aurora have inspired this collection.
Loimu translates to "blaze" in English.


There are six colorways of the Loimu available.

This is similar to another watch posted either in this forum or the new release thread where I commented that it was too plain and needs indices of some kind... Now I'm not so sure because something looks off here. (Just proves I don't know anything :lol:) Are the numerals black?

Anyway if you dig the design $255 is a smoking deal for a 9015.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Went back and looked, and the new Orion was the one I was thinking of: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3042&p=109411#p109408

I agree with you, everything is right, but the final verdict : this design buggs me somehow. Indexes are definitely wrong. My opinion of course.
