Amsterdam-based watch brand Revolo is introducing their new model, the Revolo Chronograph. This is a chronograph watch you can create yourself, which is custom manufactured by Revolo, and powered by Swiss movements. It’s currently available through Kickstarter at an attractive price.
As mentioned above, you’re the designer of your own unique and personal Revolo Chronograph. This means you can pick the case finishing, the dial and hands (provided with Swiss Luminova), the bezel, the crown and the pushers, the strap or bracelet, and even the movement (a Swiss Ronda 5030D quartz metal movement or a Swiss Made Concepto 7750 automatic chronograph movement). The latter is the top execution with a fine adjustment system and decorated with blue screws, perlage, and Geneva finishing. All straps and bracelets have quick change pushpins, so you don’t need tools.
Included in the price is your personalization, by adding an engraved inscription (text and/or image) to the back of the watch. Once ordered, every Revolo watch is handmade by one of their watchmakers in Amsterdam.
Kickstarter
For the introduction on Kickstarter, Revolo has created a few interesting rewards. The discount on the Revolo Chronograph varies from almost 40% – for the normal rewards – up to almost 50% for the super early birds on future retail price. There is little risk as Revolo is an experienced manufacturer, known for quality and service. It is planned to commence production of the Kickstarter chronos in January and finish all deliveries by February 2018 at the latest.
Prices start at €279 (approx. $355 USD or $435 CAD) for a quartz chronograph. For this price, you get a Revolo Chronograph with a Swiss Ronda 5030D quartz movement designed by you on a leather or rubber strap. The rewards for an automatic Revolo Chronograph start at €949 (approx. $1,115 USD or $1,380 CAD) for the super early bird option. For this price, you can design your own Revolo Chronograph with a Swiss Concepto 7750 automatic movement, also on a leather or rubber strap. You can choose an add-on for a steel bracelet or additional strap.
