The big problem with this crowdfunding attempt was that it used a platform totally unknown to North Americans and people in Asia. If it had used Kickstarter or a similar platform, it would have succeeded.
Hi! I was unfortunately made aware of this great project way too late to make an effort to encourage others in my network to support it. If you at one point decide to give it another go, I will be happy to reach out in my local watch collectors and -enthusiasts circles. I love the idea of your project, supporting it made me feel I was connecting with my ancestors: My great grandfather was a watchmaker, my grandfather a watch engineer/watchmaker training all over Europe but particularily in Geneva during WW1 and my father a watchmaker and agent of prominent Swiss brands. I grew up literally in his business as it was attached to my childhood home and I often visited Le Locle and even some of the then factories. I work in communications and I would love to help you get this project traction.
I'm a convinced, Swiss watch manufacturing has again to join forces withing Switzerland to open up in order to defend and further develop our ingenious watchmaking tradition.

En alternative au grandes entreprises, un projet interressant auquel j'ai plaisir à participer.

It's the idea of democratizing the creation of movements is a huge step forward for watchmaking
