UNSUCCESSFUL : Indiegogo: Apelviken Watches - Summer GMT watch collection

Post by TheJohnP »

Apelviken Watches out of Sweden, has just launched their latest Indiegogo campaign for their new summer GMT collection.
Apelviken used to go by Lanna Watches.

Indiegogo pricing is around $135
Regular price will be about $325

Estimated delivery is November 2020

There's not a lot of info on this campaign.
It's using a quartz GMT movement and probably composed of mostly catalog parts.
But it's cheap and using different, unusual colorways.
So I imagine someone will want to give this a shot.

Three colorways available - yellow, mint, and pink

Interesting. The mint would be my pick but I’m not a buyer. I do like the idea of a sub-$150 quartz GMT though.

I like it. Their logo looks like an ice cream cone or a piece of cake laying on its side, which... is appropriate
I wish that watch were 38mm?
