POTTWATCH Grubenlicht 5.1 - Limited Edition

We tried to embody the complex character of the Ruhr Valley in a wristwatch.

We are an education and industry location. We have over 150,000 companies. We were the cultural capital of the world.
We are 5.1 million people.

A wristwatch that embodies all these elements.
Partnerships with friends and local businesses are at the forefront of our efforts to strengthen the region. We want to give young, ambitious people the space to develop themselves creatively, together with us.

For us the Ruhr Valley is more than a home. It is a region with unique values, ​​that we want to identify with in the future.
We want to show the world that even after the end of the black coal there is still a lot of potential here. We do not just want to accompany structural change, we want to shape it. We want to cherish our past and step into the future with it.

What could be better for that, than a wristwatch?

With POTTWATCH we want to give people from the Ruhr Valley the opportunity to show their colors.

We want to tell our story. The history of coal and steel, of underground and surface, of football and pigeon clubs, of coal mines and steel mills, of universities and schools.

Who are we? We are 5.1 million people. We are so multicultural and diverse, putting us in a pigeonhole is impossible. We are as different as no other place on earth, and yet we have one thing in common: Our home.

Throughout the recent months, we have put a lot of sweat and blood into this project. The result is not only unique pieces of jewelry, but functional instruments that lead to a dialogue.

For us, the founding of the company was a journey into the past. We want to give something back to the Ruhr Valley - for the values ​​and lessons that it teaches us.

If you want to be a representative of the Ruhr area and show the world where you came from, then support this project.
Together we can tell what solidarity and trust really mean. Together, we can strengthen our past and make the hard work of our ancestors memorable.

Are you one of 5.1 million? Or maybe of 82 million? Then support POTTWATCH with the purchase of a wristwatch.

Every euro contributed by this campaign flows directly into the production of our timepieces.

So far we have supported everything with our own equity. As students and career starters however, we depend on you. Production costs, marketing costs, and many other costs incurred in setting up a business are to be supported by this campaign.

With successful financing, we can deliver all ordered watches to our supporters. With the achievement of the second financing target, we can even finance the next collection: "Heimaterde".
