What the people at LIV are doing is an absolute uphill battle. Challenging the watchmaking manufacture can become an ugly battle, but challenging the tech industry also?? That'due south just unfathomable. Just that's what LIV is doing. The watch industry is being shaken down by the consumer tech manufacture, one giant, belongings onto its guns… precision and tradition, while the other, challenging it with the smartwatch, something to replace the age-old classic with a modern timepiece that does everything your telephone does. In the midst of all this, LIV is pushing out remarkable timepieces that are revolutionizing the sentinel business, by doing something none of the giants are doing… connecting directly with the consumer.

The creators of the most crowdfunded Swiss sentry to date, LIV's philosophy is to found a rapport with past consumers, and build relationships with new ones. Their watches are made using Swiss precision, but most importantly, with client feedback. Their fourth crowdfunding campaign sees not one, simply FOUR watches to choose from, sporting different layouts, materials, and designs, merely all united by LIV's design linguistic communication. Sporting a circular dial and a bohemian-ish flavor nosotros've come to love after their previous Insubordinate watch, LIV's latest offerings are a Pilot'due south Watch, a Diver's Watch, a Swiss Auto Chronograph inspired by the original LIV scout, and a sentry with an alarm function.

All of LIV's watches come with intricate Swiss-fabricated movements encased in precise machined 316L Stainless Steel (with the Pilot's edition available in Titanium). The watches, given their bad-boy personality, become well with both silicone straps, giving them a sporty avatar, also equally the French and Italian leather straps, bestowing upon them a persona we love calling 'The Wolf of Wall Street'. All four watches come up with a 5 twelvemonth international warranty and prices that seem ridiculously depression, thank you to LIV'southward commitment to connecting directly with its consumers, rather than applying inflated brand-markups that the picket manufacture is and then notoriously famous for. LIV'southward watches testify that stellar quality, backed by a consumer-centric arroyo can help degrade even the largest of giants in any industry. Check and mate, Rolex!
