This is the first Kickstarter campaign from Arcaido Watches out of Italy for their customizable bronze Primo collection - 3 hander and GMT.

The main selling point that sets this campaign apart is backers can add personal touches to their made-to-order watches, such as custom printing (including signatures, drawing, customer's initial) on the dial. (It is possible to remove the diciture at 6 o'clock in order to have more space for you)

I was thinking "Cool! I could get another MoT watch!"

Then I saw the price.

I'll stick with the one from [mention]Sporkboy[/mention], it's more meaningful anyway.

I've been seeing these advertised on Instagram and boy do the videos in the ads make it look like a really beautiful watch
