n case you were not following lately the microbrand watch scene, let me tell you, there is a lot that is happening right now, and while it was not easy to chose, here are three projects that I think, you should keep an eye on: Don Kylne and their upcoming collection of cushion shaped watches, Meshable and their German minimalist chronographs, and finally, we’ll take a look at an upcoming brand from Singapore, Vorque Watches.
Don Kylne & Co.
Don Kylne & Co. is a new brand founded by three guys with a keen passion for watches. One the founders, who is the proud owner of a collection of sweet watches, actually got the bug of watch collection after his dad gave hime a Bregeut. The debut collection of Don Kylne is called Rêveurs Comme Nous, Dreamers like us, as they wanted to remind everyone that this project started out as a dream, both for the founders and for their early supporters. The name of the collection will be engraved on the first collection of 500 pieces, the Don Kyle way of thanking their supporters for believing in their dream.
Meshable Chrono
Dusseldorf based young designer couple Mina and Nemo are back on Kickstarter with Meshable Chrono. I really liked this collect the moment I saw it and I even included it in another Micro roundup, but then they decided to cancel the Kickstarter founding and they asked me to remove it. It was a classic case of a great product, really nice deign, but with the wrong price. Many young brands fall into this trap, most of them never rise again, but I’m glad to see Mashable back on Kickstarter. They did some number crunching and this time, their new goal and their prices are correct, without changing anything in the quality of their pieces.
Vorque Watches
Vorque is an upcoming brand from Singapore that will make its debut in the near future. They are still in early stages, but they have already got the prototypes of their debut collection and it seems to be a rather ambitious project.
The Constantine is a 40 mm dress watch that comes in three different colour combination, with a nice guilloche patterned dial and applied indexes.
