Dear Backers,

I hate the wait for the next stretch goal, don't you? We thought we would be sailing by the target but holiday season kicked in and the streets of Interwebs-City are quieter than normal...

So let's help the system. We are at over 104,2k funding, so we can almost "touch" the 105 that will unlock Silver/Bronze Bull. If some of you now upgrade or maybe even add a mechanical Bull, we are at 105 and have all systems Go! 

Below I have written down the pledge instruction for the Silver and Bronze Bull. These special editions will be limited to 200 pieces each. If you pledge for a single one, the pledge amount will be €749. In any combination-pledge, it will be €699 as we also have for other mechanical Bulls.
Again sorry for it being so complicated. We have to work with what kickstarter offers in terms of functionality. Only one pledge per person, it doesn't work like a shopping basket. ;-)

Note for €749 backers: this might free up some €699 pledges, so be prepared to take a €699 spot to save money! (if you are not interested in Silver/Bronze Bull).

Silver/Bronze Bull pledge Instruction:

Below the pledge instruction per category:

If you have not yet pledged before: select the 749 category for a mechanical Bull in any color. If you select the 699 pledge, you will not have access to the Silver Bull/Bronze Bull.

Dear Backers,

We are literally crawling towards the next stretch goal of 105k. Luckily we still have 15 days left!

I promised some more pictures so here we go. For now the Dutch Bull, the Funky Bull and the Sparkling Bull. Maybe the most daring colors of the bunch we had made as prototypes.

Make no mistake: we simply took out our iphone and fumbled around. You will be able to make these same shots after having received your watch!

Note the hands' finish: brushed on top with beveled, polished edges. Because we love that stuff. 

Oh boy, there is a bad scratch on the Dutch Bull case that you can see on the picture below. It appeared during a test ride of the watch press.. 

I hope you enjoy pictures like this. We will try updating with some more of other colors next time!

100k, 200% funding achieved!

Dear Backers,

The last days saw little action. Some backers came, some went, some upgraded, some down graded. Holiday season? Maybe. 

Just now, we were pushed over the 100k barrier. Just ever so slightly. Which is pretty amazing. 110k in USD. Think about that. With a not-so-common watch design, backed by watch lovers mainly. 

The power of crowd funding visible and making a statement for others to join the party!

Below, upon request, a video that shows how the mecha-quartz watch moves. Both the subdial continuous second "ticking" and the central chrono hand moving at 5 beats per second. Amazing for a quartz watch! The angle I shot the watch is a bit awkward to prevent seeing my own face in the bezel... ;-)

Let's push towards the next stretch goal: at 105k, we will unlock the Silver and Bronze Bull models. 

Please remember our Thunderclap campaign. We need 100 people donating ONE MESSAGE for our "online flash mob" at August 15th! Please click the logo to participate. We need about 30 people more, so amongst 250 backers..... 

This also is the time to share one of many kickstarter campaigns that drew our attention. It is so great that smaller companies get to make stuff that we luv:
