SUCCESSFUL: Indiegogo: Pitot Watches - F14

[TheJohnP]

So this is slightly unusual for Indiegogo, the typical process seems to launch on Kickstarter first then continue to crowdfund on Indiegogo.
This campaign has just launched on Indiegogo and will then go live on Kickstarter in June.
And it is not a very ambitious goal, so not sure if they're just trying to cover some upfront costs before the Kickstarter funding covers the MOQ orders from the factory.

But enough speculation, Pitot Watches out of Denmark wants to make watches inspired by planes.

The campaign is for the F15 Tomcat inspired watch.

They are offering 50 watches at the preorder price of $271
Retail will be around $600

Man I was obsessed with F-14s when I was a kid. This is cool.

Not to my tastes, but that is a bitchin' rotor.

Thanks for sharing. That rotor!

[Sporkboy]

I agree. 1,000 points for the rotor design. Wonders if a rotor could be 3D printed in metal via a printing service...

[TheJohnP]

Honestly was THIS close to ignoring this one one until I saw the rotor. Haha
