SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Biotic - Formicidae Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

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.

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

These really do have a unique style, which people will either love or hate. I really enjoyed checking this one out.
