Auckland-based jewellery designer, Nick Von Klarwill has unveiled his first ever collection of Nick Von K watches.
Since his 2010 inception, Nick Von K’s collections have gone from strength to strength with his most recent jewellery collection Midnight Carnival, being launched in New York to receive critical acclaim.
The idea was born earlier this year when Nick’s cousin Richard Boers approached him about making a watch line together. Keeping the rock n’ roll aesthetic core to Nick Von K, the boys came up with four unique designs – a skull, a snake, a lion and wings – with engraved quotes that play on the notion of time.
“I wanted to bring back the watch! People don’t wear watches as much anymore, they check the time on their cellphones. So I wanted to create a watch collection cool enough that people would want to wear a watch on their wrist again,” says Nick Von Klarwill.
The Nick Von K watch collection is being launched in association with the New Zealand launch of Kickstarter. Due to the technical nature of producing a custom-designed watch and high minimum production numbers, the guys have launched with Kickstarter to bring this project to life. Kickstarter is the world’s largest crowd-funding website.
By placing an order on a Nick Von K watch through Kickstarter, you will be the first to get your hands on one… at half the retail price! The first 100 backers will get a Nick Von K watch for NZ $120!
