Here’s just the kick you need to start your week. Nope, we’re not talking about your favourite espresso, nor Pharrell’s limited-edition Hu sneaker in collaboration with adidas (which of course prompted some unsavoury scuffling here in Singapore). What we’re on, are 3 timepiece projects that may have flown under your radar but have not escaped our all-scrutinising eyes. Their common denominator? A foundation on popular crowdfunding website Kickstarter.
But just what’s so special about these 3 projects that we’re about to discuss? For one, they’re all proudly conceptualised in Singapore – something that would help put our little red dot on the map in the watchmaking scene, in addition to efforts by homegrown Aries Gold.
Without further ado, here’s bringing you the Zelos Chroma, Mileneal Classic, and Plain Supplies’ The Everyday Watch.
