New American watch brand Phosphor
garnered enough backing for the launch of the company’s groundbreaking
new Touch TimeTM watch on Kickstarter to exceed their $50,000
goal less than 24 hours after the campaign launched. The revolutionary
watch continues to gain momentum on the popular crowdfunding website and
all backing will be used to finalize software and bring Touch TimeTM
to mass production.
Developed by former Vice President at Fossil and current Phosphor
President, Donald Brewer, Touch TimeTM received its sleek
design aspects from Stefan Andrén, an accomplished industrial designer
who has worked with Nike, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Philips and
Motorola. The touchscreen interface features the same capacitive touch
technology found in Smartphones.
As of today, Phosphor’s Touch TimeTM has $72,239 in funding
with 632 backers. It is ranked seventh on the Kickstarter Hot List,
according to Kickstarter tracking site, Kicktraq. The campaign has 53
more days live and Brewer hopes to achieve additional funding for the
project during the remaining time.
“We’re excited and humbled by the amazing support we have received from
the Kickstarter community,” said Phosphor’s President Donald Brewer. “We
are excited to bring Touch TimeTM to the masses and to use
this funding to finalize the watch software and focus on mass
production.”
Touch TimeTM is available in a number of different silicone
strap and bracelet versions each available at different rewards levels:
-
$99 – stainless steel case with black silicone strap

$115 – colored silicone strap available in black, white, orange, blue,
