Zach is soon launching his project, November 19th.
I don't care for this one myself. The brand owner mentions everything he saw was reliant on building off other brands and designers. Coming out the gate and saying his design is a breath of fresh air in a sea of uninspired watches. I wish the guy luck, but sounds like many Kickstarter claims to me. Obviously he hasn't looked at Zelos and a bunch of others already in the micro-brand game. IMO this particular finish looks like a lint magnet from the RR video. Kudos for trying to create a custom rotor, but I'm not a fan of the rotor as well. It's probably a sticker over the rotor. I doubt it would be heavy enough to wind the watch properly if it was just wood. As far as the overall design goes, I can't see too much earth shattering going on that would amount to a breath of fresh air in the micro world.
