This is the first Kickstarter for the Trident Watch Co out of Chicago for their debut model, the Incipient bronze dive watch.


Kickstarter pricing is $400
No mention of what regular price will be

Estimated delivery is May 2021

From the campaign description:

We decided to name our first watch the Incipient, meaning beginning to develop, a name fitting for the first watch from a new company. The Trident Incipient design inspiration came from the trident weapon.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

There's something about turtle lugs that always works.
Even if psuedo-turtle lugs.

Something about the proportions seem wrong to me. The dial feels congested. All the elements are one size too big: too big indices, too big 12:00 marker, too big hands. :(
