SUCCESSFUL: Indiegogo: Aventi Watch - A-10 tourbillon

Post by TheJohnP »

This campaign was brought to my attention by [mention]Nsjong[/mention].

This is the first campaign by Aventi Watch for their A-10 tourbillon supercar inspired watch.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aven ... 16205959#/

Early Bird pricing for titanium case models were $498 (SOLD OUT)
Batch 1 pricing for titanium case models are $999

Early Bird pricing for the sapphire case model is $1,999

Estimated delivery is November 2020

I'll be honest, tough to pull specifics on this watch with their page filled with so much "cutting out the middle man," "affordable luxury," and "compared to Swiss" messaging. Also, now their main page redirects directly to the Indiegogo campaign, so can't get too much details there.

Titanium case is available in eight colorways:

They are also offering a variant made with a sapphire crystal case:

Specs I could pull:

Movement - A-10 skeletonized tourbillon movement (base Hangzhou Watch Co. Calibre 3450)
Case - Titanium (grade 2) with H-Series Cerakote ceramic coating OR sapphire crystal
Dimensions [from what I could uncover] - 48.5mm by 55.5mm and 13mm thick
Crystal - Sapphire with 5 layers of AR coating
Lume - Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade X1

Despite the astounding overabundance of marketing collateral on the launch page,this is quite possibly the fuggliest watch I have ever seen.

The wrist shot is laughable with the"supercar" in the background.

To be honest I didn't TOTALLY hate it until the all-sapphire wrist shot. Then the pictures of the cars. It's so bad I can't look away.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I never said it would be good but if you're into Richard Mille but are a peasant like majority of us, the value proposition is actually there.

That being said, the marketing is quite... Amusing.

Funded in 8 minutes. I'm flabbergasted. WE BROKE TRADITION. The $150 service fee is interesting. It looks 25mm thick.

I am not a car guy, so maybe I am missing how that watch takes any design points from any of the cars pictured. Am I missing something?

Built with exotic materials and bought mostly by those who are more interested in projecting a certain image than anything else.

Thanks. That sounds about right. I guess if you like Richard Mille stuff then this makes some sense. There is no missing it that is for sure. Curious if anyone else in their mind converts Richard to Dick to Penis and Mille to Mill to Grinder to picture the brand as offering Penis Grinders? I am sure if they marketed that way then fewer people would want them.
