SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: TEN ELEVEN NINE - Elegant Tool Watch Collection
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2021 1:49 pm
TEN ELEVEN NINE out of Berlin have launched their first Kickstarter campaign for their automatic "elegant tool watch" collection.
These look pretty fantastic, but feel these are way overpriced. But wish them the best on meeting their campaign goals.
Early Bird ricing is €999, or €839.50 without VAT (roughly $1,014.07)
Next Early Bird Tier pricing is €1,099, or €923.53 without VAT (roughly $1,115.58)
Kickstarter pricing is €1,199, or €1007.56 without VAT (roughly $1,217.08)
Regular price will be €1649, or €1,385.71 without VAT (roughly $1,673.87)
Estimated delivery is September 2021
The zip code 10119 of their studio in Berlin Mitte inspired them to create the brand name TEN ELEVEN NINE.
The goal of TEN ELEVEN NINE is to combine the subtle, sublime and minimal design of an elegant and timeless dress watch with the readability of a tool watch and the sturdiness of a dive watch. A reliable and perfect mechanical watch for any occasion, that will last a lifetime in best case.
You can choose between 3 different watches and 3 different bracelets with or without their mantra of Truth, Beauty, Love engraved on the caseback.
The three available models are the Minimal, the Researcher, and the Weltweit.
Offering 3 different stainless steel bracelets:
- Milanese mesh bracelet with straight end links (diameter 20mm-20mm)
- 3 link bracelet with straight end links (diameter 20mm-18mm)
- 3 link bracelet with straight solid links made for this watch (diameter 20mm-16mm)
One change from the prototypes shown is that for better handling, the crown shape will be slightly redesigned.
