We would be able to make our watches and get them out there and really see what people thought of the watch. We talked all about the project, how you post your project, what are some of the things you want to keep in mind, and we had expected to sell $100,000 worth of watches in about 30 days. I wanted to get the inside scoop and they chatted with me for two hours. They're a bunch of guys from Boston, and asked them how they did Kickstarter. ![]() I phoned up those guys, Skyped them and started asking. 01:25 Migicovsky: Then I saw this project called Twine. So, we thought of some other ways to get funding, and one of them was Kickstarter. We just didn't have the last key, which was a bunch of cash to start actually building the product. We added iPhone functionality, Android functionality and this e-paper screen. ![]() So, in January 2012, we had a pretty firm idea of what Pebble would look like. So we started actually earning revenue at that point. 00:47 Migicovsky: It was enough to help us do what we were doing, but it wasn't as large as we'd expected, not that you can really expect to raise money, but it was enough. Couldn't really see a watch that would meet exactly what I needed, so I started making it. Like I just thought of it and I looked around for other products that were out there. It has weather, traffic apps, being able to see your calendar on your watch, basically to be the smartest watch ever. It works with iPhone and Android smartphones. However, if it operates as smooth as the ETA 7750, you should get a reliable movement.Video Transcript 00:08 Eric Migicovsky: At the beginning of March, we basically said, "Yeah, let's try to raise some cash on Kickstarter." Our watch that we're talking about right now is Pebble. We are not familiar with the Concepto 7750 movement. The finishing has been brought at a higher level with its brushed case and polished angles. The new Revolo Chronograph offers, like its sister watches, value-for-money. Our Thoughts about the new Revolo Chronograph The chronograph dials looks balanced and is legible. The design versions with sub-dials at 6, 9 and 12, domed crystal glass, black and red colours are Revolo-unique designs. The chrono dial comes in 2 dial versions, one with sub-dials at 6-9-12 and one with the traditional sub-dials at 3-6-9. The Kickstarter price of the Quartz Chrono starts at 249 euro while the price of the Automatic Chrono starts at 899 euro. The retail price for the Quartz Chronograph starts at 395 euro while the retail price for the Automatic Chronograph starts at 1.645 euro up to approximately 1.800 euro. The new Revolo Chronographs will feature a higher-standard finishing, an optional domed crystal, and two movements options: the Rondo 5030D Quartz movement or the Swiss Concepto 7750 automatic chronograph movement, a 7750-alike automatic chronograph movement, produced by Concepto. Like the automatic or quartz watches, the chronographs will offer a wealth of choices with respect to dial, sub-dials, bezel, straps, hands and movements. A new Kickstarter campaign has been launched to generate the funds for adding watches with chronograph movements to the collection. ![]() In our article about Revolo Watches we gave you a brief introduction of Revolo’s first chronograph.
