Topic: [INFO] Bitcoin Halvening Watch (Read 594 times)

As stated above, I have decided that we will only produce 100 of the Bitcoin Halving 2024 Watches. Over half have already been pre-ordered. Each watch will be engraved and numbered from 001/100 to 100/100 on the back as seen in the product pictures. As mentioned earlier, this is an extremely limited Special Edition as these watches will never be made again - new Halving designs will be launched and available every 4 years. In resemblance to Bitcoin's scarcity, I figured 100 would be a fitting number to make them exclusive and collectibles for those who purchase one.

- Carlos Estrada

Carlos just messaged me, only 100 will be made!  And yes I ordered one.   He indicates they are about 1/2 reserved already.



Website updated.  Now that makes for a nice collectible!

Thanks for sharing! Yes people can pay using Coinbase Commerce as the third party, or choose to pay directly with Bitcoin/Litecoin w/o intermediaries.

All packages and watches will be shipped directly from our location in Ohio when we ship to customers worldwide and domestically.

Thank you for finally replying to me.
I sent the link to some of my watch expert buddies and they like it.

Much appreciated.
I see you are using Coinbase Commerce with Bitcoin and Litecoin payments accepted.

Can you tell me are you sending packages from Europe, Asia or from some other continent?

Hello! Thanks for the good luck, the new release seems to be getting good attention and support by the community! Unfortunately, currently we are not doing any of the design changes you mentioned.

As far as payment with Bitcoin, I just created another checkout page for anyone who would like to pay directly with Bitcoin. A much simpler process for anyone wanting to do that!

Hello there! I have received numerous inquiries about this. I have decided on the total amount of Bitcoin halving 2024 watches being manufactured and produced, however, we will disclose this in the coming days once we are able to update the website as well as our marketing announcements. What I can tell you is that it will be VERY limited and over half have been pre-ordered so far.

I imagine it is an open run until the halvening or he sells out.    That is the one question that I am awaiting an answer on, what  is the max number.  Since the pics show 001/xxx  I assume there is not a set number, but no more than 999 (doubt that many will sell).   So I imagine at the end of the ordering period that will determine the series limit and no more than that will ever be made.

The other special limited editions were 750 and they did sell out of designs A and B, C still has some available.

I did ask Carlos via Twitter about the max number, I will share anything I hear here.

Thanks!

so this is an open run until the halving?

Recently we are upgrading or warranty to 2 years. We are in the middle of updating the website to reflect this.

You bring up a good point and we will look into having an official reseller for international orders where customers can't purchase from the US.

(Sorry I am still trying to figure out how to post and quote on here so I had to do post it again)

Thanks for the kind comments. I can tell you that it is our most unique and extensive design to date. Considering that we will never make this specific Bitcoin Halving 2024 watch ever again, and new Bitcoin Halving watches will come in 2028, I would say these watches will gain value overtime as only a very, very limited amount will be in existence.

I like this idea and will have to consider ordering one of these watches for myself, they seem to be very popular amongst the community. Im sure that these will also increase in value overtime especially because this is such a limited design. Great work here crypto vigilante!

Is this limited to the "Bitcoin Halving Watch" or do the other watches also get two years of warranty?
^{- On your website it states having only a one-year warranty!}

---

Do you have any plans to expand your reach by having official resellers in other countries?
^{- Some of us can't order directly from the US.}

I just wanted to say it is on the webpage, perhaps it would be better at the top, but if you scroll down a bit, it's there:




I agree the other question was not yet answered, it will be interesting to see if any customization is possible.

Thank you for supporting our business and pre-ordering your watch! You won’t regret it! 😁

Please read carefully what I wrote, I said it is Patek Nautilus homage design, and you can't make it identical Patek Nautilus replica even if you wanted to do it  
If you really want I can find you exact case you used for your watch and I will post it here, I know it is made in China.
Anyway, good luck with new watch, I think it is a cool idea with halvening.

Nobody would know that if you didn't write it here, and doing it manually is pain in the ass.
If there are any information your website that you accept Bitcoin...I didn't found it, and I even went to checkout page.

PS
You didn't reply if there is a way to make some additional design changes with added letter initials and color corrections.

Hi! To clarify on this post, some people have mentioned that it is exact to the Patek Nautilus, when in fact there are very clear differences between the case of our watch and Patek’s, from the shape, to the edges, angles, thickness of the case, and even the crown. See differences here:

Halving Watch:

You are correct to say that the dial and design is unique, as it features a skeleton design of the Bitcoin logo as well as the small detail of the Bitcoin orange hand.

As far as payment with Bitcoin, we have accepted Bitcoin directly for payment since day 1 of starting our company, if you scroll down to the bottom of the product page for the Halving Watch, you’ll see where we state that our pre-order platform that we are using does not support various payments methods except credit card. If you choose to pay with Bitcoin email us at [email protected] so we can create a manual order for you and accept Bitcoin directly!

I am happy to hear that some of you are interested in this and have questions, I am always glad to keep answering and discussing more! Long live Bitcoin!

Tell us how to pay with Bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrencies?
And is there a way to make small modifications (initials or color change) when watch is pre-ordered?

I would prefer to have some unique shape instead of same old style, but it's not so easy to do that.
Note for everyone who purchase this watch... don't go swimming with it and testing those 5Bars  

I preordered one of the watches ty,

I agree completely on the similarities... Here is a knock off that I bought during my last trip to Asia:



I agree a bit about the costs, but I imagine small production runs have a higher overhead then mass production (I experienced this with the poker chip project).  Obviously my knockoff was well under $500 and I am impressed with the quality, so I look forward to what Carlos is offering.

Cool looking looking watch with Patek Nautilus homage design and Seiko nh70 automatic movement, but dial is unique with bitcoin symbol and hand.
Similar cases can easily be ordered from China much cheaper but it would be much harder to make inside look the same.
I am not sure I would pay €465,95 for this pre-order, and I can't find option to pay with Bitcoin.

Do we know what the total mintage will be?

Absolutely! We’ve accepted Bitcoin since we first started our company. For odd reasons our pre-order system does not support Bitcoin payments so we have to due process your order manually. Can you email me here to set it up: [email protected]

Thank you!

Hey bro,

Thank you for coming here.

Is there any way we can pay using Bitcoin ?

Im not a watch guy either but if I were I’d definitely have to own something like this. While it might not be as big of a flex as those watches with the Casascius coins on the dial (I might have to get one someday) it is still cool that such professional products are becoming commonplace with Bitcoin branding. Thanks for sharing.

Hello guys, this is Carlos Estrada, founder of Coin Vigilante Bitcoin watches being discussed here. I was made aware of the conversation and I wanted to hop in here to answer any questions and let you know about our biggest release yet! For background, our goal is to create timepieces that represent the importance and elegance of sound money. For every person who wears these watches, there is someone representing Bitcoin wherever they go. Currently our watches are worn in over 40 countries, we have a 2 year warranty, and our watches are made of high quality materials - stainless steel 316 L, sapphire glass (new editions)… we recently launched our biggest release yet featuring an impeccable design: the Bitcoin Halving 2024 watch. Here’s what you need to know.

The Bitcoin Halving 2024 watch is a very special release to me…

We created it to celebrate and remember the iconic halving - when the reward for Bitcoin mining cuts in half every 4 years

This mechanism built into Bitcoin counteracts inflation and provides scarcity. A system that helps protect the purchasing power of people, unlike fiat currencies which print money out of thin air, devaluing the purchasing power of those who own fiat through inflation.

Bitcoin’s halving makes it scarce and inflation-resistant!

This is what the world NEEDS!

The Bitcoin Halving Watch was created to represent the importance of this and celebrate this moment. This specific 2024 halving watch will never be made again (“scarcity” aspect). New halving editions will be created and released only every 4 years.

Not only is this design completely new, but  it also features the Bitcoin logo in impeccable ways, such as the skeleton dial and the Bitcoin orange second hand.

This watch is also automatic/mechanical with a see through dial AND caseback - “Proof-of-work” 😉

Throughout the watch you’ll see amazing details such as the “BLOCK HEIGHT: 840,000” engraved on the case - this engraving marks the block at which the halving will take place - a historic block for Bitcoin to remember everywhere you go.

There are many other details and designs in the watch for you to discover yourself.

It is currently available for pre-orders to everyone! Those who pre order their watch within the next two weeks will secure their watch and get in line to receive them in April!

I hope you participate and purchase a watch, as we have worked hard to make this happen and introduce this very special and extremely limited timepiece. 👇🏽

If you have any questions please reply here! I’d love to connect and talk!

I reached out to him via Twitter regarding some of the comments and here is his response:

As to the quality and where it is manufactured:   "The watches are indeed designed in the US, the automatic/mechanical movement is not Chinese, it is a SEIKO Japanese movement. Yes, some parts of the assembly is from China, however most don’t realize most brands have at least some of the assembly done in China, and there is nothing wrong with that, just like Apple iPhones are assembled in China and some manufacturing is done there."

Also on the price/quality:   " as far as quality, we use very high quality materials and movements, Stainless Steel 316l case, sapphire crystal, SEIKO movement, and include 2 year warranty."

If you have any questions or comments, definitely reach out to him via Twitter:

It looks like they started with Kickstarter a while back and was successful.

I have to find the other one, but here is the one I wear the most (favorite design).  It has a real leather band, not much wear on it.   I believe it is a sapphire glass, as there are no scratches at all.  It also comes in a nice box!





I also wanted to say that I have no affiliation with them at all.  I just liked the quality and design of the watch and wanted to share with the group.   I have no referral codes... lol

Wow I really like these and the idea of a "Watch" celebrating the Bitcoin Halving is great
and limited edition is a bonus.

Funnily I thought by the title that it was a Watch timing the halving itself ^{difficult to do I know}

@markinaz would be interested to see your existing watches, have the designs changed or are
they that same but with a different block height engraved?

I have 2 of their other watches, I will post pictures shortly.  Quality is great, I have no complaints at all.

I did see on the website they accept Bitcoin.  I recommend reaching out via Twitter or email, he has been great communicating with me in the past.  I kept in touch asking about this watch, etc.

Hello,

First time I see those watches...
Design is great.

How about the quality? Is the manufacturer trusted here? Do you have any good quality picture of one of your watch to check the quality?

And last question: why can't we pay with Bitcoin? I might be interested to buy 1 or 2 watches but wanna pay in Bitcoin.

Thank you.

As someone who's not really into watches I've to say I do like the halvening watch design, nice find.

Guess I missed the price.

Thanks for posting it

What do you mean? Price is §499 with §250 deposit.
My issue would be "Designed in the US" which actually means "Made in China" with §70 movement.

They don’t tell you the full cost?

I have 2 of Coin Vigilante's watches and love them.  I Just found out they are making a special edition for the Halvening:
