SUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: JW Watch - JW-EX
Second Kickstarter campaign from JW watch.
Very unique design, somewhere between Xeric and some haute horology pieces.
For the next 26 hours, you can still take advantage of a reduced pledge level.
48 Hour special price is $431
Super Early Bird pricing will be $444
List price will be about $877ish
Estimated delivery is December 2019
Two colorways:
The JW-EX has an in house movement that was used in their first model, the JW-01. From the description: JW-EX watch is powered by an all-new skeleton developed movement called JW-7100, it is approved and loved by many JW-01 backers. JW-7100 functions with a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 A/h), 21 jewels, automatic winding, a sweep second movement, and “Caliber: 173” (173 parts). Functionally, the movement provides up to 80 hours (3 days+) of power-reserve via a single barrel system along with its effective bi-directional winding rotor. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to find a watch with such finely polished movement at this price.

This design is digging into me. The only thing that is bothering me is the skeletonized movement. It seems like one thing too much. I think it is the clash of the straight lines and the ornate skeleton bits are mismatched in a way that doesn’t quite do it for me.
I am glad for that as it is out of my price range.

Re: SUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: JW Watch - JW-EX
If anyone is still interested in preordering, they have launched this same watch on Indiegogo
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jw-e ... 16205959#/
Preorder pricing for the silver or black version is $458
However, at some point during the Kickstarter campaign they did release a bronze option
Preorder price for that colorway is $522
