Now that my first ever Kickstarter watch, the Hamtun Kraken, has finally bloody arrived I've been looking at Kickstarter again to see what else might be worth backing. Last time I looked it seemed to be full of Daniel Wellington knock-offs (random tag-line "make your minimalistic dreams a reality") but the new KS meta seems to be dive watches. Most of them are generic and dull while many more are truly frickin' hideous design nightmares but amongst the dross I spotted the Von Doren URĘD. 40mm, Swiss auto, domed sapphire. What's not to like. I'm tempted...

Anyway, it's all here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ery&term=watch

Pics for those who can't be bothered to check the link. The watch does look a lot better with the dial coloured Norwegian day/date wheels rather than the white English wheels.









If there are any Norwegians here who can tell me how to pronounce "URĘD" it would be much appreciated.
