UNSUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Macedon Watch Company - The Militia Automatic Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

The Macedon Watch Company out of Melbourne, Australia, have launched their first Kickstarter for their debut collection, the Militia automatic.


Kickstarter pricing is around $717
Regular price will be about $896

Estimated delivery is September 2021

Our timepiece “Militia” will be our debut piece and we are looking to steer clear of the traditional micro brand trend and aim more towards the Haute Horology field of watchmaking whilst maintaining a modest price.

The Militia will be available in three colorways, Anthracite, Khaki Green, and Blu.

That date window ruins the design. 😡

I feel like the design of the dial does not match the lug/crown guard part of the case. It's a dress watch dial with a bulky case.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Message from the creators:

Unfortunate Events

Hello Team,

It seems as though we will not hit our target, and this is completely fine.

We had a few circumstances changing within our team and a few family problems we don't wish to burden you with. This however severely altered our ability to advertise and invest.

Our main goal was to gain experience and create awareness, our timepiece will now be available for pre order on our website www.macedon.watch

We are in the process of manufacturing 100 of each colour and will continue to slowly market our brand and products, we hope to grow and share our many ideas and designs with the world.

God Bless you all
