From Viqueria -
For those of you unfamiliar, Viqueria is a new company based in Italy that will be offering some pretty good looking watches in an upcoming Kickstarter campaign.
It will be available in three different dial versions - silver, blue and black.
The case measures 40 mm in diameter, and is of stainless steel. The movement is an interesting choice. Time and date with a 24 hour time indication at 9 o'clock.
Some personal thoughts -
Kickstarter is jammed with watch offerings right now. Some are more original than others. But I would also have to say that with so many would be micro brands, the drive to offer something unique at an "amazing price" has led to desk drawers full of thrice worn Kickstarter trophies that now languishing. So it is somewhat reassuring to see a Kickstarter watch that is not breaking its neck to be so different that it will only be relevant for a few months. This is a watch that you will want to wear regularly. And ultimately, isn't that the point?
I will keep you posted when the Viqueria is ready for its Kickstarter launch.
For now, here are the pertinents, straight from Viqueria -
