Each watch comes with a 1-year warranty.ĭespite the wait and initial questions about quality due to the first impression I got from the packaging, I’m glad I supported the Rossling & Co. The movement is a Swiss Quartz that thankfully doesn’t make a loud “ticking” sound as it operates (Timex Weekender owners are familiar with this sound). That, to me, adds something special for a watch at this price point. I love the engraving “Founders Edition” along with the manufacturing number. Flipping the watch over reveals the brushed titanium case back. Tweed is a unique choice of material and manages to look formal with a suit, rugged with a plaid shirt, and casual with anything else. I always match my shoes, belt, and watch strap, yet when I was wearing this watch, I noticed the strap looked great on any outfit I paired it with looking equally great with black or brown shoes. Available in five different shades, but the grey goes with everything. So changing the strap isn’t as easy as popping out the spring bars with a spring bar tool. The hour markers are applied with a shiny metallic finish, while the minutes are darker. The lugs are nicely shaped, and those screw-down strap bars are functional. No chrome plated plastics to be found here. The case around the Sapphire crystal is sturdy, and feels solidly assembled. It’s very slim, slides easily under a shirt cuff, and it’s certainly lightweight, but doesn’t feel cheap. But overall, after wearing it, I really like this watch. The logo is printed on the dial, and an applied logo would probably look quite a bit better.
The crown felt a little stiff when I got it, and it still is a week later.

No commemorative card or instruction manual inside. The box came packaged in a cheap looking white box with stiff padding.

And when it arrived… I was at first disappointed with the presentation, but after a full week of wearing the watch it has become a new favorite in my growing collection. When they reached a stretch goal and “unlocked” the option of blue hands, I opted in for those. I was an early supporter, and was able to choose a white dial on a grey tweed strap for $99. That’s a lot of watches to make, and they tried to keep the supporters updated through the process via their Kickstarter page. project got almost 10 x the amount of support they were asking for ($170,000 vs. The brothers who launched the Rossling & Co. I received my watch a month past the original shipping estimate. That’s disappointing, but delays seem to be common, especially when a project gets this over-funded. You get excited about supporting something you think has potential, you look forward to your reward, and then… the delays happen. Supporting a Kickstarter project can be a bit of a roller coaster. kickstarter, supported the campaign at the super-early bird price of $99, and recently had his “reward” delivered. This is a guest post from Matt C., a reader who saw the Rossling & Co.
That recently happened with Rossling & Co. Editor’s Note: While Kickstarter certainly has its risks, especially when it comes to style/fashion, sometimes a well thought out project gets funded, delivers the rewards, and then moves into the general commerce arena.
