I like the white no-date, and that case back is pretty cool.

Is it me or has there been a recent uptick in watches with the reversed triangular indices?

I quite like the look, but they suddenly seem to be all over the place.

I guess I'm not paying attention, because this is the first one I think I've run across.

To follow up, this Kickstarter campaign was:

CANCELED

Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on Dec 15 2020

Update from the project creator:

Dear friends of Rhodus,

First of I want to take this moment to extend my gratitude to all of you who took the chance and pledged for the Skull Diver project - a project that is so close to my heart. I'm humbeled by your support and kind words I have received over the past few weeks. Thank you so much!

After a fantastic start the first few days of the launch things went slow - too slow. This is why I decided to cancel the project early this morning.

I have learned so much the past few weeks. Learning from you guys, talking to other microbrand owers, discussing improvements in the micobrand communities. All very valueable. Things I will take with me for the re-launch

Re-launch?

Yes, I have decided to re-launch the Skull Diver in 2021 with a few improvements on the campaign and the product aspect - improved clasp and a slightly thinner case. I was amazed by the organic growth this project received resulting in 89 backers! 89 backers, for a first Kickstarter campaign is something I am very proud of and obviously wasn't able without you!

Stay updated!

I'm sure most of you are already subscribed to our newsletter over at www.rhoduswatches.com. If you are not, please subscribe in order to receive updates on the process and how things will go from here.

For now I am wishing you and yours all the best for 2021 - hopefully things will calm down next year and we will be able to live our lives how we used to.

All the best from The Netherlands,

David Estié
Founder of Rhodus Watches
