SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: JAZ x Merkur - Vintage Neo Big Eye Chronograph Regate Yacht Timer

Post by TheJohnP »

The vintage JAZ brand is being relaunched in partnership with Merkur with three models launching together on Kickstarter.
Though this is the first campaign, working with Merkur will offset any concerns about delivering.


Early Bird pricing for three hand version is around $153
Kickstarter pricing is around $173

Early Bird pricing for 38mm chronograph version is around $296
Kickstarter pricing is around $357

Early Bird pricing for 40mm chronograph is around $368
Kickstarter pricing is around $439

Estimated delivery is December 2022

We (Merkur) approached our collaboration with JAZ with utmost care because they had an important part in the history of watchmaking. For those who don't know JAZ, it was created immediately after the 1st World War in the district of La Défense, Puteaux in 1919. The founding father of the brand, Swiss-born Louis Gustave Brandt, also founded Omega.

Our love for the sea has found another dimension by combining JAZ's 100 years of history, French culture, and our desire to do a unique “Yacht Timer” concept.

Initially, JAZ will offer three different models:
● A 38mm hand-wound three-hand watch in a regate style (C010)
● A 38mm hand-wound chronograph (CH011)
● A 40mm hand-wound chronograph watch with a sapphire bezel (CH010)

All these will be available with two different dial color variations in black or silver.

These are funky.

I think I like the CH011 the most.

Cool design, but talk about complications I'll never use.
