Let me introduce you today with what I consider a pretty unique offering in the integrated bracelet #sportwatch panorama: The Rosenbusch The Quest, currently live on #kickstarter .
I’ve had the pleasure to meet one of the founders, Eli, several times over drinks in Munich and I was immediately impressed by both the watch itself and the passion behind this project: they are a group of three friends, all deep into #watchcollecting since years and all with their own jobs and careers who simply decided it was time to create their own thing, their perfect #sportswatch .
To do so, instead of taking inspiration from the usual #patekphilippe #nautilus , #audemarspiguet #royaloak or #vacheronconstantin #overseas they actually went for something quite unique: they took inspiration from the hexagonal case shape designed by #geraldgenta for #seiko in the 1970s with the Credor Locomotive.
The Quest features a 42mm x 11.7mm steel case, expertly manufactured in Germany, water resistant to 100 meters thanks to the screw-down crown and caseback. The variety of finishes is quite impressive for an #affordablewatch , with beautiful transitions from brushed to polished across the flanks.
The dial draws inspiration from the iconic industrial designs of the 70s and 80s, with its sharp, geometric lines, but is ultimately its own thing. It is available in 4 different colors, including the stunning blue you see here, and an impressive skeleton version. It features applied indices and multiple finishes, again belying its price point.
At the heart of “The Quest” lies either the #swissmade Sellita SW200 Elaboré or the more affordable NH35a, to allow for a starting Kickstarter price of only 469€.
The package is completed with both a beautifully finished steel bracelet and a rubber strap, easily interchangeable thanks to a quick-release mechanism.
The Quest is beautifully finished, unique and affordable, what more can you want for your next integrated bracelet sport watch?
