Meeting Kaelyn
Singapore is indeed a small place yet filled with surprises, one of it is this Microbrand (Horizon Timepiece). Like their model name, the brand and their kickstarter was in Stealth mode. I manage to meet up with Kaelyn, the bubbly owner of Horizon Timepiece over lunch and to try the Horizon Stealth Models.
Horizon Timepiece
Horizon Timepiece aspire to design ergonomic watches with a unique aesthetic. The Stealth Automatic is their first range of watches that are very unique from the other offering out there.
Stealth Automatic
Stealth Automatic is designed to read time discreetly. Meetings. Dates. Job interviews are some occasion that you do not want to be seen checking time. When seen checking time, it does shows that you rather be somewhere else (disinterest or being in a rush).
A clever innovation was done for the watch, you are able to have a quick glance at the side of the watch. Let's check that out!

Conclusion
The laser cut roman numerals on bezel is a timeless design and the dial is clean and simple. The watch case is big at 45mm.
While some of us need to go stealth and some don't, Microbrands have many unique designs and Horizon Timepiece - Stealth Automatic is one of them.
At Stitches & Buckles, we appreciate every Microbrand owners who have been thoughtfully designing unique timepieces and they are willing to work with us.
Kickstarter might have ended for Horizon Timepiece, but their partnership with Stitches & Buckles have begun.
