SUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: JW Watch - JW-EX

Post by TheJohnP »

Second Kickstarter campaign from JW watch.
Very unique design, somewhere between Xeric and some haute horology pieces.

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:
205129bfa09e2e5e13a26a31f8f54d4a_original.jpg
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.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

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.

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
