info from the page:

You are reserving a spot at the Kickstarter price of $599 ($849 retail). This $150 deposit will be returned when you pledge the full amount.

** No discounts may be used on this deposit. The $150 must be paid in full **

The Kickstarter will launch in late June, and the watches are set to deliver in mid-November.

This $150 deposit is non-refundable, as it will be used to reserve the movements.

Update: Changed title to include more movements

Noticed that the link above for the preorder to the Kickstarter wasn't working for me.

So here it is for anyone interested in securing the price of $599

As a side note, very curious how this is going to go now that it seems ETA is making it harder to access their movements for those not under the Swatch umbrella...

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

It looks like they're spreading the risk/price points by providing 3 different movements namely the ETA 2985/2824 and Miyota 9015. 2985 is to be the most limited option.

The KS campaign going live at 12:01am EST the night of July 8th / morning of July 9th.

I like these. There is nothing really groundbreaking here but that's absolutely fine. And good to know it is from a company that has made a watch before, although if I understand correctly its their first mechanical. I think the screw-down crown was a good choice too.
