Maen watches: Hudson automatic
^^^ A number of people have made negative comments on the Hudson’s hands (which I rather like). Unfortunately I couldn’t warm to the hands on the Nodus Trieste, which in most other ways was one I quite liked.

Re: Maen watches: Hudson automatic
There is a lot of negativity about microbrands, full stop. And rightly so, for many. But this model and those from others (eg. Marloe, Ventus, Baltic, Regnum etc) are, in my opinion, worthy of at least consideration. They've all got to start somewhere.
Any other Maen backers on here?

Re: Maen watches: Hudson automatic
As I’ve got more educated about watches over the last few years my interest has actually started swaying more towards smaller companies/micro brands over recent times. Maybe its because I own a small business myself which, knowing how difficult it is to grow at the side of the ‘big boys’, makes me want to support themDillyDilly wrote:There is a lot of negativity about microbrands, full stop.

Re: Maen watches: Hudson automatic
Yep dillydolly another backer here. I was in from the start, backer 17.
I have exactly the same opinion as you, has to be worth a pun for me. If i am honest though i have backed about 10 watches on kickstarter and very few have met expectation.
I have a good feeling about this one

Re: Maen watches: Hudson automatic
As already mentioned I'm currently backing the Maen.
However, I'm waiting until towards the end of the backing period to make a final decision.
That's the nice thing about KS projects, if you have second thoughts you can always pull out as long as it's still within the funding period, i.e. in this case the end of May.
I've also backed a few other KS projects...most notably:
RSC Constellation Airliner

STRELA Cosmoswatch
DSC_0003 by StrapMeister, on Flickr
SCURO Bronze
Scuro_Bronze_007 by StrapMeister, on Flickr

Re: Maen watches: Hudson automatic
Yeah.Not sure this warrants being a special/limited edition though. And to be a limited number it has to have just that, a limited number. Bit puzzled to be honest.addi564 wrote:@dillydally have you seen the kickstarter LE they have proposed

Why can't they just stick to there guns, offer there variants, let people either back what's there or not
...rather than being influenced by others!

Re: Maen watches: Hudson automatic
I think the LE will be available only to Kickstart backers, while the other variants will continue to be available afterwards. So a time limited edition, rather than a limited number edition.

Re: Maen watches: Hudson automatic
At this rate this could be several hundred LEs. And all it is is a slight change. I agree with Strapmeister's comments.gaf1958 wrote:I think the LE will be available only to Kickstart backers, while the other variants will continue to be available afterwards.
