    Video Advertisement: Crowd-Funding Project for new British XL Watch Brand


    -- ADVERTISEMENT (text and video, by Terranaut Watches) --





    XL watches are now a well-established trend. But our customers complained that many oversized watches are just TOO EXTREME to wear every day — they were spending a small FORTUNE but only wearing their watch a few times per year.

    So, as sales of its £1000+ timepieces dwindled, a BRITISH-based watch distribution company — which has spent the past 9 years sourcing and selling premium luxury watches — began work on a new mid-market watch brand.

    After two years in development, they are pleased to present their brand; TERRANAUT and its first collection; the XL 50MM. TERRANAUT is the oversized watch that excels in wearer comfort. The RRP will be around £299.

    Now, they need YOUR HELP to perfect their offering. You can get involved today at: PleaseFund.us/projects/terranaut-watches
    The opportunity to participate in their crowd-funding project ends on Sunday 5th August. So, get hold of your TERRANAUT before everyone else and SAVE up to 60% OFF RRP!

    EXCLUSIVE features of the XL 50MM you won’t find on other watches for this price:

    I honestly believe that oversized watches are becoming demodé!
    But rather than that, £1000 for a Miyota OS11?

    Actually, what is being stated is that the company USED TO sell £1000+ watches (other brands) but have now developed
    their own brand (Terranaut) that is selling for just £299.

    "After two years in development, they are pleased to present their brand; TERRANAUT and its first collection; the XL 50MM. TERRANAUT is the oversized watch that excels in wearer comfort. The RRP will be around £299."

    I'd definitely say that its a sharp looking design and the price at £299 is pretty fair considering its using a real carbon fiber dial,
    C3 SuperLuminova and a dependable Citizen-Miyota mvmt.

    Oops,misread the £299 part..
    For that price,its not a bad value,but I still think it will look too big on my wrist
    Would like to try if its available in my country though..at least this looks somewhat better than sisu and the price is more reasonable
