Time Locker tells us they make modern dive watches with a vintage flair. Their range is coming to Kickstarter very soon* – are they worth backing?
Coming to Kickstarter – Time Locker

Brice Fromm, Time Locker’s founder tells us that when he was 21, his father gave him a watch. It was a diving watch worn by combat divers in the 1970s. Others saw it as a simple timepiece, but for him, it symbolized the father and son bond. After years of wearing his father’s watch, it became a battered veteran, with too many scars and he felt he could no longer wear it at the office or during exhibitions. Unwilling to pay thousands on a high-end timepiece, he needed a versatile and elegant watch that fits into any situation. Above all, it needed to be reliable. As he was unable to find the perfect replacement, he decided to create his own watches.
Time Locker Watches

When designing Time Locker watches, Brice took inspiration from the combat divers from the 1950s and their timepieces.* The Time Locker range of military-inspired dive watches is launching exclusively on Kickstarter in 2019.
