– Tue, Apr 19, 2016 at 06:49:58 PM
We made it to $125,000. That is officially one half of one quarter of ONE MILLION DOLLARS! That means with 100% certainty the Titanium Automatica One case will be produced and you'll be able to upgrade for just $60.
We've been getting a ton of questions about this next part. You will receive an email with a product selection survey around a week after the campaign closes. This is where you will make your watch selection along with any upgrades (e.g. Titanium, Extra Band) you would like to make. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW TO SECURE A TITANIUM WATCH OR ANOTHER ADD-ON!! We will have a killer selection of extra bands, hats, shirts, watch storage rolls, and other goodies for you to grab at a discounted price.
We are particularly excited to be teaming up with Issac from Field Work Company, a craftsman from Alberta, Canada who'll be churning out some high quality handmade goods to treat your Mansfield right while its not on your wrist.
Samples Only. Final colors to be determined.
Stay tuned for another backers update that will show you all the available options before we let it loose. Worried you missed your survey? Simply check back to this campaign page where we will keep a log of exactly when we send it out.
Questions or concerns? Send us a message or make a comment on our wall! We'll get right back to you!
Interesting Campaign Facts:
As of last night, our 479 beautiful backers had pledged for a total of 568 watches to over 20 different countries around the globe. The lead cities? Singapore, London, and Chicago. Lead Countries? United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. We're stoked to manufacture and ship these bad boys all over the planet!
As the campaign comes to a close, we'd like to say thanks to each and every one of you for pledging your hard earned dough in order to support Mansfield. Thank You! It means the world to us! You're going to love this watch.
$100k Stretch Goal Unlocked - New Stretch Goal Announced!

RELEASE THE GUNMETAL
Yesterday we cruised past our second stretch goal of $100k like it was no big deal! That means the GUNMETAL PVD coating will be available as an additional watch selection for every single campaign backer! Get your choices ready, we've only got about a week left before you'll need to make your selections!
So whats the reaaally big news? What is the next stretch goal? You wanted serial numbers, you've got em. You wanted gunmetal, you've got it! Next up... TITANIUM.
Titanium is a chemical element with symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, low weight, and very high strength. It is highly resistant to corrosion in sea water, acids, and chlorine. It's anti-magnetic, anti-allergenic, used widely in aerospace and marine applications, and is naturally tough as nails! If our campaign hits $125k, the Titanium Case / Zulu band option will be available as a $60 add-on upgrade per watch at the end of our campaign. Doesn't matter if you're a super early bird, combo deal, or a regular price backer, tack on $60, get a Titanium watch.
Titanium Case Rendering
Down to the dirty details... the minimum production numbers on Grade 5 Titanium are super high. We will need to acquire bulk raw Titanium, make machining adjustments to cut it, and commit to at least 300 Titanium production units (entirely separate from our stainless production units) in order for this to work. According to the votes from Update 1, we expect a large number of you to upgrade to Titanium, but the bulk of these 300 units will roll over to our retail sales after the campaign is over.
We would love it if you would take a moment to share our campaign on Facebook, Twitter, or email a friend so we can get to the big $125k! Thanks for all the support thus far. We've had an incredible time running this campaign and look forward to making this home stretch the best 7 days of the campaign!

Automatica One How To: Screw Down Crown
about 8 years ago
– Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 01:24:01 PM
Good morning/afternoon everyone! We are SO close to unlocking the Gun Metal Automatica One as another option to make your decision even more difficult! Fingers crossed we'll get there sooner than later!
This update we're doing something a little different. Here's a closer look at one of the many important details of the Automatica One.
THE AUTOMATICA ONE SCREW DOWN CROWN
We received quite a few messages about how the screw down crown on the Automatica One will function, so we made a video "how to" to give you a better idea on just how much this seemingly simple piece does for the watch. We hope it provides some clarity! Have a look!
Special Note: We say "self-winding" in the video, but we actually meant "manual winding" in this specific case. The Automatica One does indeed have a self-winding rotor, but that is based on natural movement throughout your day. As it pertains to the crown itself, however, it also has the added benefit of being able to be manually wound. We'll make sure to fix this video for future reference!
That's about enough of Anthony's mug, wouldn't you say? Agreed.
Now, again, we're so dang close to hitting $100K at which point we unlock Gun Metal, but we also get to announce the next stretch goal which we're ridiculously stoked about! This stretch goal is about as much for us as it is for you guys, so c'mon now, get! As always, you can help us out tremendously SIMPLY by sharing this campaign with your family and friends.

Beware Copycats!

We're not gonna lie, in some aspect, it's flattering, but mostly it's super shady. We've been notified that someone who goes by the (probably) fake name "steave smith" started an Indiegogo campaign yesterday using all of the assets from our Kickstarter campaign.
With the exception of the header copy, this person has copied word for word and image for image our campaign. Apparently he didn't feel our Automatica One description was worthy of his "One Dive One Luxary Watch" campaign. He is right though, when you wear the watch (but only when you wear it), it is very luxurious and professional. But we digress.
We just wanted to give you guys a heads up and let you know that is not us and we are in no way associated with that campaign. We have submitted a request to Indiegogo letting them know and asking them to take it down, so hopefully they'll act sooner than later. We'd hate for anyone to get ripped off, so please beware! Kickstarter is the only official place where you can pledge for an Automatica One.
If you have any questions, please let us know!
Stay safe out there guys! Some shady people out there trying to make an easy buck at other peoples' expense.
Special thanks to Kickstarter user Le Connoisseur for giving us the heads up!
Best,
Anthony + Peter
We are excited to be featured on BackerClub.co this week!
They are the top community for people who are very serious about crowdfunding sites and we are really looking forward to the feedback and support from their community of super-backers!
The Results Are In!

You voted and the people’s voices will be heard! Thank you to everyone who took the survey and provided their input! We had over 200 votes cast!
I will say there were a couple close ties there, but winning out with the most votes is…
We’re really stoked about this because it brings a whole new level of custom character to the Automatica One. Not only is every aspect of the Automatica One already fully custom, but soon each watch purchased on Kickstarter could be completely unique from one another.
As you can imagine, when going to production there are a lot of benefits to keeping things the same across the line. It turns out machines don’t have souls yet and would rather do the same thing over and over again repeatedly. Kind of like when Peter gets a hold of a Costco-sized box of Fruit Roll-ups (he has a very young heart). Thus, having a unique identifier on each and every watch will require a bit of an adjustment on our originally anticipated production costs. However, we’re so ecstatic about this idea that we will not be passing along that cost to you.
Having said that, it WILL help us if we can bring more volume to our manufacturer in order to get a price break. So, in order to execute this stretch goal, we’ve set it to $85,000.
OH, BUT YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS IT, DIDN’T YOU?
Nah, my brethren! We’re just gonna skip the part where we make you wait in anticipation for the 2nd Stretch Goal! (Note: If we don’t get past the first one, this could be slightly embarrassing – but that’s ok, we’re in it to win it)
Coming in as a very close second is a new combo. Gun Metal.
The name alone sounds bad ass. We’d probably do it anyways even if Gun Metal was purple just because - G-G-G-G-GUN METAL, BRO! Thank goodness Gun Metal is an awesome color, though. This will work perfectly in the lineup we currently have and the color will complement the rugged design impeccably!
Again, it seems we’re always battling the minimum production battle, but that's why our Kickstarter family is so essential in this fight. So, in order to achieve this stretch goal, we’ll need to get to $100,000 in pledges to make it a reality.
These were the two stretch goals we were both actually hoping for, so this worked out wonderfully! Thank you for having an AMAZING opinion that also just happens to match exactly ours, everyone!
WRAP IT UP
So, to recap, Serial Numbers and Gun Metal. Those are the next two rad stretch goals we need to start chipping away at. And because I miss making sweet bar charts that always impressed the executive board, here’s a graphic over-explaining where we are, and where we need to go in order to get both of these stretch goals!
THIS PART IS REALLY IMPORTANT!
We really think we should be able to get there relatively easily, BUT we REALLY need your help spreading the word about Automatica One! Please hop on your social media networks and share with all of your friends and family! We’ve made it super easy for you to do. All you need to do is click on each of these links and share! Boom. Donezo.
