SUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: Ganymede Watches - Series 01
Posted: Fri May 17, 2019 9:53 am
Ganymede watches is launching their first Kickstarter for a vintage/steampunk-esque model, the Series 01
I do like gimmicky watches, but the four hand dial system seems a little overly complicated. But sure it's something one gets used to.
But the difficulty in reading time and only colorways are bronze PVD or rose gold PVD, not one for me.
Kickstarter pricing for either colorway is $350
Regular pricing will be $425
Estimated delivery is November 2019
From their description:
"For the Series 01, the specific inspiration for the case and window comes from vintage diving helmets also known as copper hats and the pod shaped style of old submarines."
To read the time, the special four pointed colored hand corresponds to the color of the text on the dial. The following illustrations and video show how to read the time:
