SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: S-Craft - Transparency N°1 solid sapphire case automatic

Post by TheJohnP »

This is for the high rollers in the group.

S-Craft, a brand by private label watchmakers The Solutions Sàrl out of Switzerland, have launched their first Kickstarter campaign for the Transparency N°1, an automatic with a solid sapphire case.
The campaign is fully funded.


First 20 Backer pricing is around $3,269
Next 30 Backer pricing is around $3,541
Next 50 Backer pricing is around $3,814
Next 100 Backer pricing is around $4,086
Final Kickstarter pricing is around $4,348
Regular price will be about $13,069

Estimated delivery is December 2020

When we thought of the S.Craft (standing for Sapphire Craft) and designed the “Transparency N°1”, our goal was to construct the watch in such a way that the wearer could observe the movement parts and interactions with as unobstructed a view as possible.

The timepiece features a solid sapphire 40mm case that has been carefully machined from a single block of sapphire crystal. The aim, of course, is to offer full visual access to the multi-level skeletonized automatic ETA movement 2892-A2 movement, from all possible angles.

Here's a fun video showing this thing off more:

It's funny - I get everything about why this is impressive and why the price is what it is, but, to me, this is one of those watches that is sufficiently expensive so as to look really, really cheap.
