I just backed the following project on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/991195979/n-o-r-t-h-simple-timeless-and-refined-watches/widget/card.html?v=2

It is a new watch line from two Montreal designers. The brand is called Forest Time Co. There’s so much creative talent in that city.

I was immediately drawn to the focus on minimalism and on high quality materials. That’s a philosophy I can get behind. I plan to go for the black band with copper case.

I know nothing about watch movements, but it’s a “Japanese Miyota.” I assume that’s pretty basic.

I love finding interesting projects on Kickstarter. There’s something about backing a team and their new creation. We should all aspire to make and create more.

At the time of writing this post, they’re about $1,000 shy of their funding goal of $24,000. I hope they reach it by this Sunday. I’m sure they will.
