Unveiling the Susan Kare Limited Edition
Hi Everyone. We've been narrowing down options for my limited edition watch and have arrived at the final design. I am also pleased to announce that you will have a choice between two watch colors. Here is the result.
Each watch has a variant of my classic spray paint icon. The spray can is caught in the act of leaving a gradient stripe across the watch, adding an additional dimension to the strap. These designs will be signed and numbered on the back.
I am pleased with the results. It is not 100% done, but it is most of the way there and enough to show you the progress. There is still tweaking to be done on the watch as well as special edition watch faces and other elements.
I am very excited to be working with the MetaWatch team. They are so creative and meticulous about details.
Thank you for your patience!
Susan D. Kare

When & where do we decide the colour? I most definitely want a white one but I don't remember if an option was presented during the pledge process.
Creator HA on August 19, 2012
@199 I would also switch to Susan Kare edition!
Creator Chris E. on August 16, 2012
if the price is around $199, i would switch from optic green to the white susan kare edition. the white looks really sweet.
Creator Kevin on August 15, 2012
What about the bezel color on the black? Is it Silver/Gunmetal color, or black like Stealth? Or maybe not decided yet?
Creator Роман Бутко on August 14, 2012
will look like a signature? You can count?
Creator Janardan Nathan on August 14, 2012
Poor college kids can't afford to pay so much for a watch :(
Creator Jramseyoo5 on August 14, 2012
Hello Susan. I can hardly wait to get my watch. I will wear your special edition with pride Thanks for the great work and artistry. Jim Ramsey. ttpc_guy
Creator Kevin on August 14, 2012
Thanks!
Creator MetaWatch on August 14, 2012
Kevin,
This watch is the same share and uses the same tooling.
Bill
Creator Kevin on August 14, 2012
Also, is the actual watch shape different? I notice the bezel is flush with the rubber strap in these pictures, although it appears to be a render.
Creator Garry on August 14, 2012
I like the design and look but I hate the price.
Creator Eduardo Carnero on August 14, 2012
Looking good
Creator Joseph Agreda on August 14, 2012
Beautiful and classic. Fantastic work Susan!
Creator Jacob Wang on August 14, 2012
I like lit :) But Can't Affort it, damn :(
Creator Kevin on August 14, 2012
I will say I was hoping for clarus the dogcow somewhere, although that doesn't make much sense either :)
Creator Omar Farid on August 14, 2012
I agree w/ Stan & agree w/ Chris regarding the price issue.
Creator Stan Sokol on August 14, 2012
Am I the only person finding it difficult to see the thematic connection of spray-can and the smart-watch?
Creator Chris E. on August 14, 2012
this looks really sweet. but the price is too high for me.
Creator Bob Bressler on August 14, 2012
as always, your designs are tasteful AND cool
Creator Caleb Wong on August 14, 2012
Would the bezel on the white one be white better than silver? Silver just doesnt seems right.
I am def going for the white for now.
Creator Jaik S. on August 14, 2012
Q: Will the black one have the Ion plated steel, like the stealth?
I hope the watch face doesn't change too much...I just went from Stealth to Susan Kare Edition. Great Design!
Creator Kevin on August 14, 2012
Looks cool. Is the bezel on the black one silver?
Creator Jonathan DeMuria on August 14, 2012
sadly I cant afford it though : (
Creator Jonathan DeMuria on August 14, 2012
Susan you are a legend, the design is great!
