Found another Kickstarter project to highlight since we are still in the 24 hour early bird pricing phase.
The Deux Janus / automatic Dual-faced precision watch
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/de ... ion-watch?
Basically turn a chrono into a three hander with the twist of the bezel. There's an aperture that opens and closes over the main dial, kind of gimmicky, but kind of cool.
Here's a link to their video that gives a good explanation:

Here are some overall specs:
This looks to have launched today and met it's goal, but still has 24 Hour Early Bird pricing available.
The watch comes in three variations:
Deux Janus original with Seiko NE86 movement
Early bird price = $790
Kickstarter price = $850
Deux Janus Elite with SW500 movement
Early bird price = $890
Kickstarter price = $980
Or for the more cost conscious...
Deux Chimera with Miyota 9122
Early bird price = $319
Kickstarter price = $368

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Deux Janus *24 Hour early bird pricing ends 1/23/19!*
The kickstarter page says it's between 14 and 15mm thick. I thought it would be thicker than that. It looks big. Also $790 for the NE86 isn't a bad price. Most Seiko NE88 microbrand watches go for more than that. There's zero chance I'll ever own one of these but it's interesting.

I am also surprised they were able to keep the thickness down with that design.

I'm actually think that is kind of cool. Price point too high though.
