Design Your Own Chronograph!

The same folks who offer you the opportunity to create a custom time only watch are now offering a chronograph -

This new chronograph from Revolo uses a 42 mm stainless steel case with a 22 mm lug width.

The cases are also available in three different finishes including a rose gold or black pvd finish.  With the option of a display back, or solid stainless steel case back.

And as with any Revolo watch, you are blessed with numerous options beyond the case.  You get to choose the hands, the dial, the crown, pretty much every aspect.  You even have the option of a Ronda quartz movement, or paying a bit more for a self-winding (Concepto) movement.

As with their original launch, Revolo is offering the opportunity to get in on the ground floor via a Kickstarter campaign.

As a very, very satisfied Revolo customer, I personally am excited by this new offering from the folks in Holland.  And the Kickstarter pricing offers a very, very affordable opportunity to create your own chronograph.

The configurator works just as smoothly as the one used for the standard, time only models, and I used it to knock together this option for myself -

I will be consulting with my piggy bank later today ; )


How good are the rewards for this Kickstarter?  Pretty darn good!  Here is the list -
