LIV Watches Returns with Stunning GX Limited Edition Swiss Timepieces
*This is sponsored post that was approved by the advertiser*
In recent years, crowdfunding has become an effective way for fledgling watchmakers to get their timepieces in front of customers. While many successful campaigns have happened, one watch brand has encapsulated crowdfunded watches better than any other. LIV Watches is a microbrand that has won plenty of praise from aficionados, and now the company is back with four new timepieces.
With its new series, LIV Watches has created four new products that will speak to customers who crave high-quality aesthetics, leading construction techniques, and stunning functionality. It’s also worth mentioning that across these four watches there is something for most tastes.
The four Limited Edition timepieces are:
- GX P51 Swiss Auto Chronograph
- GX Swiss Auto Chronograph
- GX Divers Swiss Automatic
- GX Alarm
In many ways, the GX Limited Edition range shows how LIV Watches has developed into one of the best modern brands. The company has used crowdfunding to deliver some of the most interesting watches of recent years. In fact, the brand is the most successful Swiss watch company ever on crowdfunding platforms.
LIV’s success is due to the fact the company is comprised of people with decades of experience in the watch industry. Because it uses a direct-to-consumer approach and sells watches in a limited run, LIV has carved a niche as a bespoke microbrand delivering highly sought-after timepieces.
The new GX Limited Edition series follows previous record-breaking runs on Kickstarter. We remember being impressed by the initial GX1 in 2014, a watch that surpassed its funding goal within 11 hours. From there, LIV’s success grew and last year the Rebel gained $1.7 million and won over 2,900 customers.
With the new range, LIV Watches is surely on course for bigger success:
