When will they be available, I'm def buying one...
Thanks for the support
I should have the prototypes in a few weeks. Then I'll start the Kickstarter campaign which will last about a month. Then, if it's successful, I'll have a batch made, which should take about 2 months. So, they be available around May or June 2013 if everything goes well.
I'd love to see some of your designs broody, i have a feeling you're a really shitty designer who needs to criticize others to feel better about yourself... UDM is a joke of a school for industrial design btw, good luck with that.
Nadim, i wish you good luck with the project, can't wait to see the final results! I was wondering why didn't you do the engineering drawings yourself? You know the product better than anyone else, giving this task to someone else is odd, especially considering it is a personal project.
Thank you! The reason I did it this way is because I didn't want to bother with the technical aspect of watchmaking. I wanted to focus on the design and features, and let the manufacturer do its thing. Also, they know much more about all the details involved. For example, what should the tolerances be for the crystal gasket when it's a domed sapphire crystal and you want to watch to be water resistant up to 50m? For this particular project, I don't have the time (nor the budget) to learn the hard way, by screwing up and having to re-manufacture 300 watch cases for instance. So, I just sent them sketches, specs, renderings, etc... and they translated that into the engineering drawings they'll use to cut the cases, crystals, etc... For now, I prefer to deal with a one-stop-shop, just for the sake of simplicity.
