Biotic Watches is co-founded by Stitches & Buckles in 2021, and is based in Singapore. They have launched their first Kickstarter for their debut collection, the Formicidae. The Biotic Formicidae’s design was inspired by Ants.
They say ants, but honestly, this is all I see in their design:
Super Early Bird pricing is around $396
Early Bird pricing is around $447
Kickstarter pricing is around $465
Regular pricing will be about $599
Estimated delivery is November 2022
Inspired by Nature’s amazing navigators (Ants/Formicidae), the Biotic Formicidae is our interpretation of a versatile compass-bezel field watch. Powered by an automatic movement, the Biotic Formicidae combines style with functionality – having 200m water resistance, a set of dual screw-down crowns, an internal rotating bezel and a flat sapphire crystal.
The Formicidae is available in four colorways - Carpenter Brown, Soldier Black, Fire Red, and Weaver Green.
There is also a choice of casebacks.

As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
