SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - The Atlantic Automatic Casual Sport Watch

Post by TheJohnP »

Kingsbury Watch Co out of Toronto, have returned to Kickstarter with their ninth campaign.
Their previous eight have all funded successfully.


Kickstarter price for steel case is around $190

Kickstarter price for rose gold case is around $198 SOLD OUT

No word on regular pricing.

Estimated delivery is July 2021

The Atlantic is Kingsbury's take on the casual sport watch. Though not 100% sure how roman numerals = casual.
Has that Genta-vibe that seems ever popular of late, but at least they're using hooded lugs opposed to an integrated bracelet.

Available in either a steel case or a rose gold case limited to 10 pieces (and currently SOLD OUT!).

Not a fan of this case shape or roman numerals in general, but personal taste aside this is well done. The dial is cool, if a bit Zelos-y. I also like the little touch of the gold K even on the stainless model. I do think a color matched date wheel would have looked really clean.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Agree with [mention]Boourns[/mention]. Kingsbury makes quality watches, but I personally do not find this design appealing.

Same, but that dial is great - reminds me of Zelos and the recent Zodiac Farallon. Would love to see it on a diver.

I'm actually digging the design - I love Kingsbury, I have a few and never have been disappointed with one of their watches.

Reminds me of a Choppard with better date placement and a less gaudy case. Also love the fact that it's a non-integrated bracelet. Might have to jump in on this one.
