PRiSM Watches launched their Kickstarter with two models the Smart Metropolitan and Premium Rebellion.
Early Bird pricing for either model is $486
Regular price will be $972
I came THIS close to ignoring this one, but wanted to go ahead and share in case this checked any boxes for anyone.
To me, this part of their "How it all started" section kind of says it all:
"The rest of the evening remains a little unclear but what stuck was the motivation to launch our own brand. It was after a contribution to a watchmaking project on a crowdfunding platform that the idea sprang up in our minds.
We then asked ourselves: why not us, too?"
Anyways, Swiss made with sapphire crystal and a Sellita SW200 movement, so they have that going for them.
There's three variants of the Smart Metropolitan:
Two variants of the Premium Rebellion:
Most unique aspect to this watch is their crown design. Thinking this is going to be the make it or break it for them.
Some specs:
- Diameter of the case: 44 mm
- Height of the case: 12 mm
- Lug width: 22mm
- Weight of the case: 115 g
- Water resistance: 3 ATM (30 meters/98 feets)
- Steel quality: 316L
- Movement: Sellita SW200-1
- Crystal: Sapphire on both main crystal and exhibition case back
As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: PRiSM Watches - Smart Metropolitan or Premium Rebellion
I don't really get the difference between the two models (even after looking at their Kickstarter page). And they are too big for a watch this style.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Metropolitan = black bezel
Rebellion = silver bezel
Only difference to my eyes.

The crown just looks difficult to use. The story is...full of Millennial inspiration. I am equally motivated to buy...
Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: PRiSM Watches - Smart Metropolitan or Premium Rebellion
Yeah after looking again. It does seem hard to grip.
It also looks aesthetically out of place. Everything about the watch is smooth curves. Even the numbers on the dial are a nice bahaus-ian round font. Then the crown looks like Megatron's nipple. It doesn't fit.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
