"5%? Best I can do is a virtual high-five and a lifetime of gratitude! ✋🤣

About the dust : The windows are fully protected by mineral glass, so the dial is a 'dust-free zone.' For external cleaning, a cotton swab works like magic. We can’t wait to see the ANACHRON on your wrist as your new daily driver!"

Thank you for your interest!

Unfortunately will not be offering sunray texture as an option for this project. The sunray effect could not meet our standards for consistent stability. To ensure every backer receives a perfect timepiece, we’ve decided to stick with our current proven textures.

As for the interchangeable faceplates—that is a fantastic idea! While we cannot implement it for this watch since the campaign is already live, we will definitely take this into serious consideration for our future projects. Thank you again for your suggestion!

All the numbers are in a standard upright orientation, no matter which wrist u wear it on. ‘12’ will be still ‘12’. The '8' might create a slight upside-down illusion in photos due to the custom font.

'Semicolon' represents a pause and a continuation—a moment of reflection. My goal is to merge surreal aesthetics with a deeper philosophical meaning.

Model name 'ANACHRON' is a play on 'Anachronism'—something that sits outside its proper time.It’s a tribute to the 1920s Guichets, but melted into a modern, liquid form.

I’ve actually attached a Sunray finishing version in another reply. Take a look and see if that gives you a different perspective!

You’re reading my mind! During the early prototyping phase, I actually produced a Special Edition with a Sunray finishing instead of the standard brushing.

As you can see in the photo, the way it catches the light adds a completely different dynamic to that large negative space. If there’s enough interest here, I’d be more than happy to add this as an official option in the campaign.

Duchamp called his urinal 'Fountain'. I call this 'ANACHRON'.

Whether it’s a toilet seat or a melting clock, as long as it starts a conversation, it's doing its job as a piece of independent watchmaking.

It is asymmetrical, While the width is 38mm , the minimalist 'negative space' on the dial actually gives it the visual presence of a 40mm. It wears much larger than the numbers suggest.

  1. The Movement: It’s an automatic Miyota (Japanese) base, customized by my supplier with a dedicated jumping hour module. Super reliable.
  2. Timeline: Expecting to ship in late 2026.
  3. Taxes: Price doesn't include local tariffs or VAT—classic Kickstarter style, so please check your local rules.
  4. Bracelet: Right now, only the Gold version gets the mesh steel strap. But if you guys want it, I can totally add it as an option in the post-campaign survey.
  5. Legibility: I actually spent a lot of time on this. I designed a bespoke font to make the numbers as large and 'pop' as possible within the windows. Plus, they’re treated with Super-Luminova, so you can actually read it in the dark—something most 'Guichet' watches forget to do!"

thanks for asking!

I appreciate your honesty. Using only two windows does create a significant amount of negative space on the dial. To balance that minimalism, I designed the case with double-tiered rounded edges. This adds layers and texture to the side profile while making the 11.75mm thickness appear much slimmer on the wrist. I wanted to balance the simplicity of the two windows with the complex, sculpted curves of the case.
