WRITING BY COMME UN CAMION - ORIGINAL LINK
CARPENTER WATCHES IS A WATCHMAKING PROJECT LAUNCHED ON THE CROWDFUNDING PLATFORM KICKSTARTER IN 2015 BY INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER NEIL CARPENTER. INSPIRED BY HIS NEIGHBORHOOD OF BROOKLYN, PLUNGING BACK INTO THE HISTORY OF THE WATCH WITH THE APPEARANCE OF THE BRACELET, HE WANTED TO OFFER A PRODUCT BETWEEN AUTHENTICITY AND MODERNITY. A FINE-DESIGN AVIATION WATCH WITH AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT (THE MIYOTA 821A) KEEPING A MASCULINE ESSENCE. IT’S A VISUAL AND COMMERCIAL SUCCESS WITH ABOUT $ 75,000 RAISED. THE FIRST BUYERS WILL RECEIVE THEIR WATCH IN FEBRUARY 2016, FOR OTHERS, IT WILL BE PATIENT EVEN IF WE CAN ALREADY PRE-ORDER THE NEXT BATCH.
