This just went live and has already reached goal in 30 seconds.

Absolutely the worst watch marketing I've ever read.

Before I waste time, is this an Asian watch pretending some Italian heritage or the like?

If it is, they did a great job covering it up.

I have no idea where they are made(definitely Asia), but this is the guy behind the company.

It’s a story. Different people respond to different stories. I’m going to have to crack open the thesaurus and get to work apparently.

Or a lifestyle magazine full of skinny jeans and key words.

I picture him in Beverly Hills Cop asking “do you want it with a lemon twist?”

He’s in a closed watch FB group where I’m a mod. They advertise a Swiss auto movement, but don’t specify anywhere in their ads what invent, so I asked him. Nothing; natta; crickets. Nice design, but that’s a really expensive fashion watch. The plaque in the side of the case would be enough to seal a big “no” for me. If it’s a Swiss movement, tell us what kind - simple enough.

I'm pretty sure I ordered a Diaspro Crema the last time I was in Starbucks.

sounds more like a sloppy Cleveland Steamer (if theres such a thing as a non-sloppy one that is)...
