I can dig it for the technical side, but the design.... I just can't.

I'll probably sign up for this. When in doubt, go rainbow! I've already traded emails with the team on this. They are on my short list of brands I'll make an effort to support.
Make time to take time.

I generally don't like tourbillons but for some reason I like these.

Cool, I guess, but also... why?

Now give me a tourbillion-less version of the rainbow and I'm in.

Also I will use pretty much any excuse to post a pic of my favorite Daytona ever:

I wish that watch were 38mm?

There's been double tourbillons on Aliexpress for some time. Does Merkur make any movements?... not that I'm aware of.

Merkur is part of Beijing Time Infinite Technologies, which also owns the trademark for Sea-Gull, so I'm sure they've got direct access to movements.

I love the name of this watch.....it makes me laugh every time I see it. I guess it's the "Certified" part that kills me.

It's interesting that the guy in the comments on Kickstarter keeps pointing out that the watch is already for sale on Chrono24. And Merkur just keeps saying they're not genuine. Yet there is no way to know that it's not actually Merkur that is selling those examples on Chrono24. It certainly could be.
