HELM Khuraburi In-Stock Notice

Hello, and thanks for your interest in the HELM Khuraburi!
Approximately 200 Khuraburi watches will be available for purchase beginning
Monday, March 16th, at 22:00 UTC.
All watches purchased on the 16th will be shipped on or before April 3rd, 2020.
For more details about the Khuraburi, please click any of the image below to visit the website.
For any questions about UTC time, please click the UTC link above.


Since the available quantity is limited, we'd like to explain what to expect
on the day of the sale, in an effort to prevent surprises:

1. First, please note the watches won't be available for purchase until the date and time specified
above (March 16th, at 22:00 UTC).
2. When the sale begins, the watches may sell quickly, so be ready at the opening bell!
3. At the designated time, we manually update the website to add the 'Add to Cart' button to
the page, so start refreshing the webpage about a minute ahead of the designated sale time. If
you don't refresh the page, you'll never see the 'Add to Cart' button appear.
4. IMPORTANT: Be aware that items in your shopping cart are live (meaning they're available for
other customers to purchase) until the payment process is complete (meaning PayPal has
successfully processed the transaction). Therefore, take care of the watch purchase first! If you
plan to order accessories, either add them to your cart ahead of time, or place a separate
accessory order later (you'll still get the discount price on the accessories).
5. Keep in mind that although a PayPal account isn't required to make a purchase, the checkout
process is faster for those with an account. When your payment and address details are on
file with PayPal, the checkout process can be completed with just a few clicks.

We understand these first-come-first-serve sales can be stressful and frustrating―we
receive plenty of emails to that effect after each sale. The fact is, we'd love to get a HELM watch on the wrist of everyone who wants one! Until that's possible though, we feel this is the fairest approach to distribute the limited quantities available. (By the way, if you're wondering why we don't just make more, you can find an explanation on our FAQ page.)

We thank you again for your interest in the Khuraburi, and
hope you'll be the lucky new owner of one on Monday!

All the best,
HELM Watches

HELM Khuraburi: Available August 21


Hello, and thanks for your interest in the HELM Khuraburi!

Approximately 200 Khuraburi watches will be available for purchase beginning
Friday, August 21st at 14:00 UTC.
(That's 7:00am Pacific, 10:00am Eastern, 3:00pm in London, 6:00pm in Dubai,
10:00pm in Hong Kong and 12:00 midnight in Sydney.)

All watches purchased on the 21st will be shipped on or before September 12th, 2020.
Please note, the 02AL2 (black/orange dial, 10:00 crown) will not be in stock during this sale.

As quantities are limited, please keep the following in mind:
1. In order to stretch quantities as far as possible, please limit yourself to just one watch.

2. The "Add to Cart" button will be visible and functional prior to the sale start, and it will be possible to add a watch to your cart before the sale begins. However, if you try to check out before the designated sale time, you'll receive an "Out of Stock" or "Unavailable" message.

3. At the designated sale time, there is no need to refresh the webpage. You can continue to add items to your cart and/or proceed directly to the checkout.

4. Be aware that items in your shopping cart are live (meaning they're available for other
customers to purchase) until the payment process is complete. If you plan to order accessories, you may want to place a separate accessory order later to avoid missing the watch (the accessory discount will still apply).
5. The watches tend to sell quickly. If you try to check out several minutes into the sale and receive an "Out of Stock" or "Unavailable" message, the watch you're trying to purchase is most likely out of stock and we just haven't had a chance to update the website yet to reflect that.
6. Although a PayPal account isn't required to make a purchase, the checkout process is faster for those with an account. When your payment and address details are already on file with PayPal, the checkout process can be completed with just a few clicks.

As we've mentioned before, we'd love to get a HELM watch on the wrist of everyone who wants one. Unfortunately, since quantities are limited, not everyone will get one during this sale.
If you don't score a Khuraburi this go round, we promise we'll make more!

All the best,
HELM Watches​
