Vertigo Watches have launched their latest collection on Kickstarter, the racing chronograph, called the Rimonta.
They were originally calling this the Monoposto, but another brand had rights to the name so they changed it to the current nomenclature.
This is their eighth campaign with two unsuccessful and five successfully funded.
Kickstarter pricing is around $182
Regular price will be about $284
Estimated delivery is March 2023
The Vertigo Rimonta was created to pay a tribute to the iconic watches used in motor sports, creating a modern and reliable product but above all very competitive from an economic point of view.
The harmony of the case with its small size, the enveloping profile for the wrist and the alternating processing between polished and brushed parts convey a feeling of quality and refinement that goes well beyond the selling price of the watch.
The Rimonta is available in three colorways - Rosso Corsa (Red), Green English Race (aka British Racing Green), and Desert Raceway (Copperish)

Very cool designs. Wish the colorways were a little more adventurous, though.

Note on their Facebook regarding the campaign cancellation:
Good morning, with regret we announce that we have just cancelled the Vertigo Comeback Kickstarter project. The preorder progress was unsuccessful and in high probability it would not have achieved its funding target.
The watch will not be produced as the only way to start production was a successful Kickstarter campaign, we thank the 15 supporters who had trusted us. On to the next project!
