Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Collins Watch Company - Hyperion
I like the watch. What are the views on the pricing. I personally think it's on the higher side for a Kickstart

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Collins Watch Company - Hyperion
The specs and materials seem decent enough, but yes pricing does seem a little ambitious.
Not much of a Kickstarter discount, but could be because this is their third release so a little more established.

Yes precisely what I was thinking.. The experience here is for the extra cost

Same unfortunate date window placement, that's for sure.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Collins Watch Company - Hyperion
Noticed that the Early Bird pricing for the Carbon Fiber dial dropped to $485.
So now only $30 more than the Extreme Early Bird pricing.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Collins Watch Company - Hyperion
This project is now fully funded and they've unlocked the stretch goal of a meteorite dial.
Both the Super Early Bird and Early Bird pricing slots have been spoken for.
And only 6 slots left to get the Kickstarter pricing of $650
Regular price will be $785

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Collins Watch Company - Hyperion
If anyone is a backer for this project, would you mind letting the creator and other backers know they can discuss the Kickstarter here at MoT as well?
This could be a good alternative discussion area, since you can only comment on Kickstarter if you have backed the project.
Here's a handy link for the Collins Hyperion to share on Kickstarter if you so choose:
