From Klokers -
The team from Klokers is back with an exciting new offering that is launching on Kickstarter. Ladies and Gentlemen, and children of all ages, allow me to introduce the KLOK-08!
As the proud owner of the first KLOK-01s I have to say that this new offering is an exciting new iteration of the slide rule style. As a comparison, here is my KLOK-01 -
You will note that the dial uses a slightly different layout with a slightly smaller sized font used for the minute wheel and a non-numeric second wheel. And I have to say that it is a great variation on the original.
The design team also stretched their palettes a bit, adding a gold tone case and crown. While the romantic in me loves the original 01 for the wonderful color combinations, I have to be honest that this new take on the KLOKER's concept is equally satisfying for the same visceral reaction it brought me when I first saw the images. This is something special.
The colors that were selected are a bit more somber, offering a pleasantly aged look. All three offerings are at once timeless, and yet beguiling in their originality.
Here are the pertinents, straight from the team in France:
