This is welcome news. I may have heard or read the same thing somewhere, but couldn't find it when I tried searching again. Glad it wasn't just a case of wishful thinking on my part.

Anyone else annoyed that alot of companies do pre-orders? Instead of producing a watch and having it for purchase?

Instead you spend money then wait 6 months to a year to get it. Ridiculous if you ask me.

It doesn't bother me at all because I know what I'm doing going into it. If they took money and then said oh by the way we'll ship it out end of year I'd be annoyed. Since they disclose the situation and let me decide what's there to be annoyed by. As mentioned above I like it much better than the mysterious timelines that may not even exist for other watches.

I, too, saw it at Windup, in S.F. I thought it was too similar to my ice blue Tissot Powermatic 80, and it cost a lot more. So, I’ll stick with my Swiss made integrated bracelet watch, and my surprisingly nice yellow dial Citizen Tsuyosa.

There's an FAQ on the product page for the current models. "A 36mm version of The Twelve will be launched later this year."

Just got mine! Really like the dial a lot and the size is perfection. The light weight titanium is going to take some getting used to but the bracelet is aesthetically very nice. Rubber strap was delayed will update once I receive that in a month or two. Overall happy with this a fun "cheap" option that's different from rest of my collection.
