SUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: Culem Watches - World GMT Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

First time campaign from Culem Watches out of the Spain. And already fully funded.
They are offering three different styles and 10 colorways of an automatic GMT watch as part of their World GMT Collection


Super Early Bird pricing is $1,400
Regular price will be about $2,800

Not going to lie, at $1,400 for an automatic GMT for a first campaign from a new brand, that gets into extremely stiff competition from other well known and prestigious brands at a similar price point. But they have some style elements I like and find their main draw is their app where you can "try" on their watches before you buy. Check out the video example at the following link:

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

I really dig that Frame Collection blue. But as you said, there's stiff competition in that price range, even at super early bird.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
