SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Valhalla of Norway - Øks automatic **RELAUNCH**
Valhalla of Norway is BACK with their Kickstarter for the Øks automatic.
Here is the link to the new campaign:
Below is the information for the previous campaign, which still looks relevant.
Don't know why, but I have a soft spot for these guys. Even though they generally make watches too large for me. But I respect their aesthetic.
There are a number of mistakes in the campaign description, but I realize English likely isn't first language, so cutting them some slack for that.
Valhalla of Norway return to Kickstarter with the launch of their latest model, the Øks automatic, which is inspired by the Norse battle axe and sheild.
This is VoN's eighth Kickstarter, where four were successful, two were canceled, and one was unsuccessful.
Super Early Bird pricing is $299
Kickstarter pricing is $315
No word on what regular price will be.
Estimated delivery is April 2021
The Valhalla of Norway Øks (Axe), has a unique case design which is inspired by the Norse, battle axe. It even comes with what appears to be scratches in the case, inspired by the well worn Viking battle axe. The inspiration for the the bezel came from the frame around the edge of a Viking shield. On the dial we have added runes, the old Norse letters. The Øks is topped with a custom made axe shaped second hand.
There are three colorways available - Black/Red carbon fiber dial, Black/White carbon fiber dial, and Blue sunburst.
Specs:
The Øks comes with both a leather strap and mesh bracelet.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Valhalla of Norway - Øks automatic
42mm with lug to lug of only 46 will fit a lot of people. Also they have one of my favorite logos. It's uniquely them.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Valhalla of Norway - Øks automatic
For some reason I'm into the this. I wonder what the height is though.
Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Valhalla of Norway - Øks automatic
I asked Roy via Kickstarter and he said it should be around 13.5mm thick.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Valhalla of Norway - Øks automatic
the red dial with bracelet looks like a great combo that would get some wrist time for most folks.
Make time to take time.

[mention]TheJohnP[/mention] I am not "liking" all of these updates because I do not want that to be confused with how I feel about the goal failures, but I know that I am not alone in saying that I really appreciate all of these updates! Very interesting and I don't know how you keep up with all of it.

I started doing to follow up, just out of curiosity.
And now kind of a good way to "put a pin" in the post.
But I will say that I've been a little lax in follow ups, hence the inordinate amount of posts today.

Re: UNSUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Valhalla of Norway - Øks automatic
Dang I really liked how this one looks. Hopefully the relaunch will be successful! Wonder when that will be (if it happens?)

Re: UNSUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Valhalla of Norway - Øks automatic
The Øks automatic relaunch is now LIVE!!!
Main difference seems to be their pledge goal has been lowered and they're limited each color to 100 pieces.
One bit of confusion is that the pledge levels mention that the Øks comes with a mesh bracelet.
But further in the description, it lists the mesh bracelet as a stretch goal if they hit NOK 400 000 (roughly $47,440).
So if you're interested in backing, may want to message to clarify that.
