Thanks to Solas for letting me borrow this.

I believe the Kickstarter starts on July 6th.

Also an apology to Hangzhou for butchering their name. I'm not even sure I said it the same way twice. As well as if you are interested in Micro-rotor movements. This is a good primer.

Today we are taking a look at one of the hardest watches I've had to film. Yet it's also one of the most intersting, as it's possibly the first affordable micro-rotor watch. It's the Sólás Starlight, from Sólás a brand new microbrand out of Ireland. It combines that microrotor with an Aventurine dial for a very interesting and beautiful watch. Although it's one you have to see in person to truly appreciate.

That Aventurine dial is very challenging to capture just right, yet I did my best here. It's a 38mm watch, and it's also the first watch to be powered by a Hangzhou 5000A. A micro-rotor movement that was released a few years ago.

Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, I am an Amazon, AVI-8, Armilla, Aliexpress, Spinnaker, eBay and Phoibos affiliate so I would earn a small commission on qualified purchases. But most of the time Amazon is just the best source to link something just to get a look. I always encourage you to shop around and find the best price.
