UNSUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Le Balancier - Cap-Ferret Dive Watch & Watch Winder set
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2019 1:43 pm
Le Balancier out of France has launched their first Kickstarter for the debut model, the Cap-Ferret dive watch. It comes as part of a set that includes a watch winder.
Super Early Bird pricing is normally around $517, however they will remove VAT for US. So that makes final SEB pricing to be about $429
Regular price will be €600 (I'm not doing the math for currency conversion with removing VAT...)
Estimated delivery is January 2020
Backers will receive:
* A high quality dive watch on a metal bracelet
* A Watch Winder
* An elastic Nato bracelet
* A tool to size and change the bracelet
Five colorways available:
