UNSUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: MHD Watches - Daily Driver Chronograph

MHD has been designing and making watches for sale since 2014. Having designed, self-funded and released countless watch collections over the past 8 years we thought it was time to show our watches to the Kickstarter community and so decided to do this with our latest release by Daily Driver.


Early Bird price is around $428
Regular pricing will be about $478

Estimated delivery is November 2022

All MHD Watches are designed in the UK by Automotive Designer Matthew Humphries, who is best known for designing cars such as the stunning Morgan Aeromax, Supersports and 3 wheeler.

After leaving Morgan, Matthew set up his own Automotive design consultancy (MHD), and then in 2014 established MHD watches to combine his love of design with his passion for watches.


The Daily Driver is available with either a black or brown rally strap.

Like the design, but a V64 for over $400 is a tough sell IMO.
