I participated in this Kickstarter project late last year. It was the first time I've done some like this. After researching the seller on various watch forums it turns out he's a fellow Canuck and had brought a few other watches to fruition successfully. The project was funded quickly and various stretch goals were achieved. The watch was offered in black, blue, green and white. Travel case and extra strap were stretch goals On the bracelet and a sporty Hadley Roma strap I had kicking around. Overall the watch is well done for the price paid. The bracelet has solid links including the ends but the clasp is flimsy and not finished as nice as the rest of the bracelet. The leather strap is nicely finished but the deployant is a bit too curved. It digs into my wrist. The clasps on both are engraved with "Helgray" The crystal is sapphire and it treated with an AR coating, another stretch goal. The movement is meca-quartz VK-64. From what I've read this is a mechanical chrono module on top of the quartz movement. The 3 o'clock subdial is a 24 reading and is not independent of the main time. The 9 o'clock is the minute totalizer. The chrono is a central counter. The pushers have a nice solid feel to them when engaged. Size is 40mm wide and approx 12 thick. That's my first impression review. Mark

It looks well made indeed, Mark. I'm sure that case will come in handy too.

That's not a bad looking watch at all!

Congrats on the new watch! I have pre-orders in for a couple Kickstarter watches. I like the unique connection you get with the watch creator.
