LIVE ON KICKSTARTER WITH NOW WITH UNMATCHED EARLY BIRD REWARDS - Series 1 & Series 2 are watches inspired by Shibui - a particular aesthetic that embraces unostentatious. by the principles of Shibui, the clean look of the face, sandblasted steel case and slim designed numeral lettering all combine to create something decidedly undertstated

The product, the video presentation, the feel : it looks very similar to Linjer Kickstarter campaign.. How are you different?
Jack Smith
@thibaultlenger different design, slightly cheaper it looks like

@thibaultlenger @_jacksmith Hi, Jack and Thibault. Our products are inspired by distinctively different things. With regards to price, we have pretty much exactly the same components but sell for a lot cheaper price. Also unlike most Kickstarter campaigns, we wont make any profit. the leather watch roll and other exclusives we are giving away comes at a considerable cost to us but we are more than happy to give back to our first adopters. If you have any further questions, send them over ;)

It starts off by talking about affordable, but then rolls into premium products, silver and leather & hand assembled. Something seems amiss.

@scotty_mcq Hi Scott, we pride ourselves on providing premium watches at affordable prices. If you look at similar watch brands that use similar materials, you'll see they all sell them for above £250 (a 100% premium to ours)

These appear virtually identical to the Linjer watches (exception is the small numbers that Shibui added to the face of the watch): https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@ryanminnick Hi Ryan, All minimalist watches have a similar design and build but our watches are distinctly different to Linjers. We use Genuine Italian Calf Skin leather, our steel is sandblasted, the numerals add a complete different look and our index and hour markers are different. I could go on and name several more differences. Hope that helps :)

@ryanminnick Oh and we are much cheaper whilst providing better components

Before I started my watch brand it was called Shibui! Crazy.

@sammcallister Hi Sam, thats really interesting. Any reason why?
Sam McAllister
@bilaal_lakhi I liked that it encapsulated a simple, aesthetic beauty. I love everything to do with Japanese culture but I found that the name didn't resonate well with my target audience.
Bilaal Lakhi
@sammcallister Yes it's a word not many people are familiar with. But we do love the Japanese approach to simplicity
