Monciel completes its first campaign and expands configurable watch options

Monciel Watch announced on 10 March 2021 that its Wadiz campaign, held from 1 to 22 February, had met its funding target. The funded product was a skeleton automatic watch with stated water resistance of up to 200 metres, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a 42-hour power reserve.

The watch measured 41 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick. The stainless-steel version with a leather strap weighed 97.6 g, while the titanium model with a metal bracelet weighed 96.1 g. The company highlighted the latter’s light weight and comfort.

The design used a curved octagonal bezel with rounded edges and screw-based bezel and strap replacement. The movement was the Miyota 8N24 skeleton mechanical calibre.

To mark the opening of its official website, Monciel offered a three-week event running through 31 March. Limited quantities were available at a 30% discount, with returning Wadiz supporters receiving equivalent terms and configurations.

Customers could choose open or closed dials, silver, rose-gold, black or zirconium bezels, and silver, black or rose-gold screws. Watches were assembled according to the selected combination. The company said customer unboxing posts and reviews had prompted requests for a repeat campaign, which it was considering.
