Appreciate the kind thoughts. I remain overly idealistic sometimes, lol. I will say that I've found incredible gems on KS, and, for the most part, they work out, although I always factor in the inevitable delays.
If it falls through, I think this would be the first time I paid in good faith, and nothing shows, although his last update was clear to state that the project would come to life. I don't get the second purchase malfunction, as it seemed it was soon to ship, and not dependent on KS funds, and I ordered it direct from Pitot.
Given the massive planning and long window of development, not to mention I've emailed back and forth with Thomas, personally, after the first watch he did, which was a big success (so, a very positive track record), I'm truly mystified.
I've wondered if it was some kind of health issue, but, even that, just total silence makes no sense.
I mean, I've got a stupid amount of watches, so, don't "need" two more, but I really loved the designs he came up with on the two that I ordered, so that sucks. Plus, wanting to support a micro brand, which is another realm where I've had happy outcomes, KS or not.
I'll update if I hear anything. Other backers were quick to assume a scam, but that seems very unlike Thomas.
Keeping my fingers (nervously) crossed.
