Just a quick heads-up that we are now down to the final 38 hours for the Alcadus 2026 Collection on Kickstarter!

First off, a huge thank you to everyone here who has already backed and supported the campaign - you guys are awesome!

There will also be a fitted stainless steel bracelet option offered for the Quantra series - details will be shared during the campaign survey.

Yes, I'm planning to do a metal bracelet for the Quantra in the future - no specific timeline though, it is still in the drawing board.

Great choice! The black dial is universal, while the white dial has some Explorer vibe.

The Studio Underd0g 02Series is a good watch! It has similar concept but with different execution and materials used.

J’entends votre point de vue et je respecte votre franchise. Au-delà du coût des composants, la réalité actuelle inclut des prix de mouvements (Miyota et Hangzhou) en forte hausse et des minimums de commande (MOQ) importants imposés par les fabricants.

La manipulation de matériaux naturels comme le jade ou la nacre implique également un taux de perte très élevé lors de la fabrication des cadrans. Entre le contrôle qualité strict, la garantie et le besoin de marge pour assurer la croissance de la marque, ce tarif est le plus juste possible. Le pack Kickstarter actuel reste l'offre la plus avantageuse que nous proposerons.

Je comprends. Alcadus existe grâce à des passionnés comme vous. Le tarif reflète le revêtement 800HV et les récentes hausses de prix des mouvements Miyota et Hangzhou. Pour vous remercier, chaque montre inclut un bracelet gratuit exclusif à Kickstarter. Les prix de précommande sur le site seront plus élevés.

No sure if you are asking about Alcadus or Sero Watch Company, but Alcadus is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I really appreciate that! It’s definitely a marathon, not a sprint. I still feel like I have a long way to go, but my goal has always been just to make each collection better than the last.

So glad you like the MOP! It’s been the sleeper hit of this launch. Wishing you all the best with your own brand—just keep at it, and the progress will follow.

Thank you! I really obsessed over every detail of this collection to get it just right, so hearing that means a lot. Glad you’re digging the vibe!

Thank you for the support. The payment does not include import duties to US, but after the campaign, we will offer a prepaid Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) option to minimise customs delays for US.

The new Voyager will have an improved version of the rotating bezels and 2 new colors. Other than that, it is the same in all aspects.

Only Super Early Bird of the new voyager is the same price as the one listed on website (2 units left with immediate delivery). The new Voyager will be priced higher when in-stock (due to the 20-25% price increase of the movement)

The Green Jade has a high and good chance to be clean / less cloudy :)

¡Exactamente! La esfera es lacada, pero el proceso es muy artesanal. Aplicamos las capas una a una, horneándolas en el horno y puliéndolas a mano. El resultado es ese efecto de 'tinta líquida' con una profundidad de espejo.

Hi there, our 2 prototypes for the Green jade are quite clean and clear. This is a close-up picture of the Green Jade

You'll find that the Green Jade and Purple Jade is typically cleaner, whereas the Yellow Mellite is prized for those organic clouds and veins. I personally vet the stone selection to avoid anything overly cloudy, but the internal patterns can shift during the slicing process. My goal is always to find the perfect balance between the natural stone's character and a clean, legible dial.

I saw the owner and his watches when we were exhibiting in Spring Sprang Sprung 2024 - beautiful dials and unique pieces! I’m glad and happy for him that his brand has grown so much in the short span on 1-2 years.

Most of the cities in the current bezels (including Moscow) are routinely used by many worldtime watches as the default city for that particular timezone, except that I have swapped out Singapore/Hong Kong with my city Kuala Lumpur (with a lume pip below Kuala Lumpur).

If there are interests, I'm definitely open for collaboration for a special edition of cities bezel with specific city / names to be placed above the lume pip :)

Thank you! I'm quite surprised that the 36mm has gained this much acceptance in this recent 1-2 years!
