As of today, you can pre-order on Indigogo, the Abissi 1000M and help Haldor get into production with their debut model. The story of Haldor started four years ago when a group of watch professionals and enthusiasts decided to make Swiss Made watches affordable, without compromising the quality.

Their first model, the Abissi 1000M is a 45.5 mm x 57 mm x 15.5 mm stainless steel diver’s watch, equipped with all the features you would expect from a serious tool piece: 4 mm thick sapphire crystal, 120 click unidirectional bezel with engraved Zirconia ceramic inlay, Swiss Super-LumiNova C3, helium valve, a big 7,5 mm crown, packaged in a design where form follows function.

Under the hood, they use ETA 2824-2 automatic movement adjusted to Top Grade, and they are going to further test and make adjustments until they achieve an accuracy of 4.5 seconds/day — an admirable goal from a young brand.

The best part is that you have 34 days to pre-order the Abissi at a discount, with delivery expected for April 2016. At the time of writing this story, there are still a few watches left at $545 with worldwide shipping included, one heck of a good deal for a watch with these specs and looks.

Sometimes, the world of microbrands is absolutely amazing!

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
