We’ve seen plenty of watches inspired by cars and various vehicle parts before, but this new product called HOUSON RIM looks like it’s ready to cause some serious wrist pain.
Made from 316L stainless steel, this watch comes with a massive design, there’s no doubt about it. The manufacturer doesn’t reveal the actual weight of the watch, but it looks like it’s super-heavy, especially given that almost everything, including the case and the band, is made from steel.
The watch comes with sapphire glass to prevent any serious damage, including scratches and light hits, as well as with an anti-reflective coating on both sides. It has a 39mm diameter, but the case certainly makes it look a lot bigger, so there’s a chance it wouldn’t look that cool on small wrists.
The watch uses a Miyota 8N33 mechanism with manual-wind movement, and the parent company claims up to 20 turns per day are enough to ensure it’s working without any interruption, especially if you’re wearing it on a daily basis.
Unfortunately for the designer of the watch, it looks like the massive look of HOUSON RIM isn’t enough to convince Indiegogo users to pledge their support for this product.
So at the time of writing, the project is yet to reach the $10,000 funding goal, and with 6 days left until the campaign comes to an end, it’s hard to believe it would manage to do so given it has 0 backers at the time of writing.
But on the other hand, if you like what you saw and want to buy this rim hub-inspired watch, you can get one for just $2,800 HDK, which for our American readers is approximately $360 at today’s currency conversion rates. The watch would be sent immediately, and it’s available with international shipping, so you should technically be able to get it no matter where you live.
