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.

With 8 days to go, this project is already fully funded.

I'll follow up with final numbers after the campaign closes.

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
