<\/p>\n
It all started during a conversation at the home of my good friend Francisco Bernaldo<\/strong>, a passionate watch collector and probably one of the largest Swatch collectors in the world, with more than 20,000 pieces<\/strong>, plus an extraordinary collection of watches from both well-known and lesser-known brands.<\/p>\n Francisco has been collecting, studying and enjoying watches for years. He knows them extraordinarily well. <\/p>\n One day he asked me a question that seemed simple:<\/p>\n “Would you be able to create a new line of watches unlike anything we’ve seen so far?”<\/strong><\/p>\n I was very clear about what the starting point should be.<\/p>\n A classic 39mm case<\/strong>, elegant and timeless, with proportions that will work just as well on a man’s wrist as on a woman’s.<\/p>\n But within that classical architecture he wanted the exact opposite of the conventional.<\/p>\n I wanted to Color. Joy. Optimism. <\/strong><\/p>\n I wanted a watch that would make you smile every time you looked at your wrist.<\/p>\n For me, the real challenge was not to design just another watch.<\/p>\n It consisted of creating something capable of surprising someone who had already seen, had and studied thousands of them.<\/p>\n So I spent a lot of time thinking about one question:<\/p>\n What kind of watch can you create for someone who already has pretty much everything?<\/strong><\/p>\n The answer ended up taking me back to the beginning of everything.<\/p>\n To the sphere.<\/p>\n To the different visual languages that watchmakers have used over generations to represent something as universal as time.<\/p>\n And that led me to another idea:<\/p>\n What if these watches could also tell a small part of the history of watchmaking?<\/strong><\/p>\n I decided to create five different watch faces<\/strong>, each inspired by a different visual language that emerged throughout the evolution of the watch face:<\/p>\n ROMAN. NUMBERS. CALIFORNIA. INDEX. DOTS. <\/strong><\/p>\n Together they would form a small journey through the history of watchmaking.<\/p>\n Not as an academic lesson, but as an invitation to watch lovers to discover how our way of visually interpreting and reading time has evolved over the years.<\/p>\n Then came the funniest part.<\/p>\n Take that story and break some of its rules.<\/p>\n The Roman numerals were filled with color.<\/p>\n The Arabic numerals took on a playful character.<\/p>\n Traditional indices gave way to unexpected combinations of circles, squares, and triangles.<\/p>\n Red, blue, yellow and green entered a world traditionally dominated by sobriety and conventions.<\/p>\n The idea was not to reject the watchmaking tradition.<\/p>\n It was playing with her.<\/strong><\/p>\n To take recognizable elements from the history of the spheres and reinterpret them through the spirit that Francis had called for from the beginning:<\/p>\n Color, joy and optimism.<\/strong><\/p>\n One idea led to another.<\/p>\n One sphere became two.<\/p>\n Then in three.<\/p>\n And finally, five completely different personalities emerged from the same watch.<\/p>\n They all share the same 39mm case<\/strong>, mechanical heart and construction.<\/p>\n But each speaks a completely different visual language.<\/p>\n ROMAN.<\/strong> Tradition reinterpreted through colour.<\/p>\n NUMBERS.<\/strong> The universal language of legibility, taken to a more playful terrain.<\/p>\n CALIFORNIA.<\/strong> Two historical languages that are in the same sphere.<\/p>\n INDEX.<\/strong> Simplicity, order and modernity.<\/p>\n DOTS.<\/strong> Time reduced to its most abstract geometric expression.<\/p>\n And when it came time to name the project, there could really only be one.<\/p>\n The person who inspired him had dedicated a good part of his life to collecting watches.<\/p>\n And now, unexpectedly, he himself had inspired a collection.<\/p>\n Created for a collector.<\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Banner_Kickstarter_1024_calidad.png” title_text=”Banner_Kickstarter_1024_calidad” url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen Banner 2″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Collector_final_02-e1788863056783.webp” title_text=”The Collector_final_02″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 02″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”|200px||200px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Five personalities.

happens when watchmaking breaks its own rules?<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1941, Rolex filed a patent for a rare dial that combined Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, and geometric hour markers in a single design.<\/p>\n Later known as the “Error-Proof”<\/strong> dial, the contrast between its different visual elements created a characteristic and highly legible way of reading the time. This style would also appear on historic military watches during the 1940s. <\/p>\n Interestingly, the name “California dial” came much later<\/strong>, and it began to be associated with this design decades after its creation.<\/p>\n The Collector California celebrates that same idea: different visual languages coming together to create something unexpected.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/05.webp” title_text=”05″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 18″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”|200px||200px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Below is the actual working prototype of CALIFORNIA used during the development of The Collector.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Collector_final_12.webp” title_text=”The Collector_final_12″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 18″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Collector_final_13_02-e1788863138794.webp” title_text=”The Collector_final_13_02″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 19″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The_collector_gif_03.gif” title_text=”The_collector_gif_03″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 20″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/16.webp” title_text=”16″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 21″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Banner_Kickstarter_1024_calidad.png” title_text=”Banner_Kickstarter_1024_calidad” url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen Banner 2″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Collector_final_14.webp” title_text=”The Collector_final_14″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 22″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600%” custom_margin=”|200px||200px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What happens when the numbers disappear from the dial?<\/strong><\/p>\n In the mid-20th century, watch design began to evolve towards cleaner and increasingly modern shapes. Applied hour markers came into greater prominence during the 1950s, while simple straight and baton indexes were strongly established during the 1960s. <\/p>\n By eliminating numbers, watchmakers discovered that a dial could be simplified without losing its ability to indicate time. The hour index itself became both function and design. <\/p>\n This minimalist language would eventually become one of the most enduring codes of modern watchmaking.<\/p>\n The Collector Index takes this idea of simplicity and brings a new personality to it through proportions, color, and three-dimensional shapes.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

happens when the traditional language of the sphere disappears completely?<\/strong><\/p>\n During the 20th century, modernist design progressively transformed the way watches communicated time. Influenced by movements such as the Bauhaus, designers explored simplicity, proportions, and elementary geometric shapes. <\/p>\n By mid-century, designers such as Max Bill brought this philosophy directly to watchmaking, reducing the dial to its essential visual elements.<\/p>\n The Collector Dots takes this evolution a step further.<\/strong><\/p>\n Numbers disappear. Traditional indices disappear. Circles, squares, triangles and colors become the language through which time is read. <\/p>\n Here, geometry becomes time.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

Collector has already been designed, developed and taken to the prototype stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n The development and creation phases of the functional prototypes have been funded by Colomer Sons. This means that the funds raised through Kickstarter will mainly go towards putting the collection into production and manufacturing the watches chosen by our backers. <\/p>\n Based on our current production costs, this is our estimated distribution:<\/p>\n 56 % \u2014 Manufacture of watches and components<\/strong> 12% \u2014 Assembly, testing and quality control<\/strong> 8% \u2014 Packaging and preparation<\/strong> 8% \u2014 Kickstarter fees and payment processing<\/strong> 6% \u2014 Production and operational logistics<\/strong> 10% \u2014 Contingency Reserve<\/strong> 100% \u2014 Intended to take The Collector from working prototype to production.<\/strong><\/p>\n The development and creation phases of the functional prototypes have been financed by Colomer Sons.<\/strong><\/p>\n Choose your personality. Or collect them all. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Collector has been conceived as a collection made up of five different interpretations of time: Numbers, Roman, California, Dots and Index<\/strong>.<\/p>\n All five watches share the same case, construction and mechanical specifications. What changes is their personality: the dial and the use of color, shapes, numbers and indexes. <\/p>\n Backers will be able to choose their favorite The Collector skin based on the reward selected during the campaign.<\/p>\n Depending on the reward chosen, it will be possible to participate by purchasing a watch or one of the options of various watches and collector’s packs available during the campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n Once the Kickstarter campaign is successfully completed, this will be the process to take your watch from production to your wrist:<\/p>\n 1. FINAL CHOICE<\/strong><\/p>\n Backers will confirm their chosen The Collector model(s)\u2014Numbers, Roman, California, Dots, or Index\u2014along with the information needed to manage their reward.<\/p>\n 2. PRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n Once all the choices have been collected, we will confirm the final production quantities of each of the five designs and begin series production with our production partners.<\/p>\n 3. ASSEMBLY AND TESTING<\/strong><\/p>\n Each watch will be assembled with its Sellita SW200-1b automatic movement and will undergo function checks, movement regulation and water-resistance tests.<\/p>\n 4. QUALITY CONTROL<\/strong><\/p>\n Before going into production, each finished watch will undergo a final visual and functional inspection to check the case, dial, hands, crown, movement, bracelet and clasp.<\/p>\n Our goal is simple: that the watch that reaches your wrist meets the same standards that we set during the development of the prototypes.<\/p>\n 5. PACKAGING<\/strong><\/p>\n Once approved, each watch will be placed in its Colomer Sons presentation box, accompanied by the corresponding documentation, and prepared for delivery.<\/p>\n 6. SHIPPING<\/strong><\/p>\n The watches will then be prepared for shipment to our Kickstarter backers around the world.<\/p>\n Our goal is to start sending out The Collector rewards in January 2027.<\/strong><\/p>\n Shipping costs are not included in the reward price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Shipping will be charged separately after the campaign ends, depending on the sponsor’s destination and the applicable transportation fee.<\/p>\n We chose this system so that we can calculate shipping costs as accurately and fairly as possible for each destination, rather than adding a single estimated international shipping cost to all rewards.<\/p>\n Sponsors will be informed of the relevant shipping cost prior to delivery.<\/p>\n We know that supporting a project means trusting the people behind it.<\/p>\n Throughout the production and delivery process we will post regular updates on Kickstarter on the progress of manufacturing, assembly, quality control, and shipments.<\/p>\n Should any issues arise that could affect the planned schedule, we will openly inform our sponsors and explain the steps we are taking to address them.<\/p>\n From our workshop to your doll, we want every sponsor to be part of The Collector’s journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Banner_Kickstarter_1024_calidad.png” title_text=”Banner_Kickstarter_1024_calidad” url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen Banner 2″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”900%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|on|on” admin_label=”Mobile” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1950px” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/CK0PXOY25iA” admin_label=”V\u00eddeo 1″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”75%” max_width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Collector_final_01-e1788862998526.webp” title_text=”The Collector_final_01″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 01″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|50px||50px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It all started during a conversation at the home of my good friend Francisco Bernaldo<\/strong>, a passionate watch collector and probably one of the largest Swatch collectors in the world, with more than 20,000 pieces<\/strong>, plus an extraordinary collection of watches from both well-known and lesser-known brands.<\/p>\n Francisco has been collecting, studying and enjoying watches for years.

Optimism. <\/strong><\/p>\n I wanted a watch that would make you smile every time you looked at your wrist.<\/p>\n For me, the real challenge was not to design just another watch.<\/p>\n It consisted of creating something capable of surprising someone who had already seen, had and studied thousands of them.<\/p>\n So I spent a lot of time thinking about one question:<\/p>\n What kind of watch can you create for someone who already has pretty much everything?<\/strong><\/p>\n The answer ended up taking me back to the beginning of everything.<\/p>\n To the sphere.<\/p>\n To the different visual languages that watchmakers have used over generations to represent something as universal as time.<\/p>\n And that led me to another idea:<\/p>\n What if these watches could also tell a small part of the history of watchmaking?<\/strong><\/p>\n I decided to create five different watch faces<\/strong>, each inspired by a different visual language that emerged throughout the evolution of the watch face:<\/p>\n ROMAN. NUMBERS. CALIFORNIA. INDEX. DOTS. <\/strong><\/p>\n Together they would form a small journey through the history of watchmaking.<\/p>\n Not as an academic lesson, but as an invitation to watch lovers to discover how our way of visually interpreting and reading time has evolved over the years.<\/p>\n Then came the funniest part.<\/p>\n Take that story and break some of its rules.<\/p>\n The Roman numerals were filled with color.<\/p>\n The Arabic numerals took on a playful character.<\/p>\n Traditional indices gave way to unexpected combinations of circles, squares, and triangles.<\/p>\n Red, blue, yellow and green entered a world traditionally dominated by sobriety and conventions.<\/p>\n The idea was not to reject the watchmaking tradition.<\/p>\n It was playing with her.<\/strong><\/p>\n To take recognizable elements from the history of the spheres and reinterpret them through the spirit that Francis had called for from the beginning:<\/p>\n Color, joy and optimism.<\/strong><\/p>\n One idea led to another.<\/p>\n One sphere became two.<\/p>\n Then in three.<\/p>\n And finally, five completely different personalities emerged from the same watch.<\/p>\n They all share the same 39mm case<\/strong>, mechanical heart and construction.<\/p>\n But each speaks a completely different visual language.<\/p>\n ROMAN.<\/strong> Tradition reinterpreted through colour.<\/p>\n NUMBERS.<\/strong> The universal language of legibility, taken to a more playful terrain.<\/p>\n CALIFORNIA.<\/strong> Two historical languages that are in the same sphere.<\/p>\n INDEX.<\/strong> Simplicity, order and modernity.<\/p>\n DOTS.<\/strong> Time reduced to its most abstract geometric expression.<\/p>\n And when it came time to name the project, there could really only be one.<\/p>\n The person who inspired him had dedicated a good part of his life to collecting watches.<\/p>\n And now, unexpectedly, he himself had inspired a collection.<\/p>\n Created for a collector.<\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Banner-Lista-Kickstarter-PC.webp” title_text=”Mobile Kickstarter List Banner” url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” src_tablet=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Banner-Lista-Kickstarter-Movil.webp” src_phone=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Banner-Lista-Kickstarter-Movil.webp” src_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”Imagen Banner” _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colomerandsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-Collector_final_02-e1788863056783.webp” title_text=”The Collector_final_02″ url=”https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/colomer\/5-iconic-dials-one-collectors-vision?ref=discovery&term=colomer%20and%20sons&total_hits=13&category_id=28″ url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Imagen 02″ _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|50px||50px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Five personalities.

watchmaking breaks its own rules?<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1941, Rolex filed a patent for a rare dial that combined Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, and geometric hour markers in a single design.<\/p>\n Later known as the “Error-Proof”<\/strong> dial, the contrast between its different visual elements created a characteristic and highly legible way of reading the time. This style would also appear on historic military watches during the 1940s. <\/p>\n Interestingly, the name “California dial” came much later<\/strong>, and it began to be associated with this design decades after its creation.<\/p>\n The Collector California celebrates that same idea: different visual languages coming together to create something unexpected.<\/strong><\/p>\n
