The latest & boldest design yet from XERIC Watches, maker of unusual & spectacular mechanical automatic timepieces. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/watchismo/xeric-soloscope/description When you put on your watch in the morning, does it reflect who you are? Well, it should! We live in a time when everyone is racing to have the latest phone, fastest laptop, most advanced gadget, but every single one of these devices will soon be obsolete, and everyone has the same stuff. Your WATCH, on the other hand, is a chance to reflect your value of striking design and timeless mechanics, and that is why we hope you'll join us in bringing the SOLOSCOPE Automatic to life. Let the latest and boldest mechanical watch by XERIC remind you -- and everyone around you -- that you are making your own mark. The SOLOSCOPE Automatic is mechanical, so the motion of your wrist is all it needs for power. This personal time machine will be right there on your wrist, through all your forced upgrades of the other stuff. At XERIC Watches, we are taking a step back to classic mechanical watches, affordably priced, so that you can move forward in your individuality. We believe our creations focus on what really matters when you're the one with most striking watch in your world. The SOLOSCOPE Automatic separates display from mechanics. It has a single hand, fusing hours and minutes in a distinctive but simple display balancing function and style. This hand encircles the hour and points to the minutes. The other half of the face exposes twin balance wheels, and the spring that powers the watch in reaction to your wrist motion. Every day you are surrounded with gadgets and devices in a repetitive way, always buzzing toward an empty battery, and barreling toward obsolesce anyway. Your phone, your laptop, that black-screen smart watch, even your car. It's agitating. The SOLOSCOPE gives you a break and lets you be the power source: no battery. It's a personal time machine that will be right there on your wrist, through all your forced upgrades of the other stuff. The SOLOSCOPE has a single hand, fusing hours and minutes in a distinctive but simple display, which is a duality essential for achieving function AND style. This hand encircles the hour and points to the minutes. If you need to see the seconds, it has that, too, of course. The other half of the face exposes twin balance wheels, and the spring that powers the watch in reaction to your wrist motion. The SOLOSCOPE splits display from mechanics, yet compositionally everything relates, so there's a nice tension between Outward and Inward, public and private... like a human. Those who are attracted to XERIC Watches -- the new and longstanding customers of WATCHISMO and WATCHES.COM -- are tired of ostentatious watches that merely express privilege, and dull watches that say nothing at all. Independent watchmakers like us are developing amazing watches all over the world, but so many people are priced out of buying any. So we found a way to offer affordable, limited edition -- but still amazing -- watches to fill that gap. We are eager to unleash the SOLOSCOPE Automatic, our most adventurous and personal design to date. At XERIC, we are passionate about making watches that no one has seen before. It's all we do. We have a proven track record of doing it well, but we're also independent watchmakers, doing this ourselves. To bring the SOLOSCOPE to life, we need the thumbs-up from individuals who take pride in standing out from the pack. We need you. https://www.watchismo.com/xeric-soloscope
