3D printing is enabling brands and artisans to create customized products at an increasingly rapid rate like the Alexander Gabriel custom watches. The watches are being funded on Kickstarter where those that want to get their hands on one of the customizable timepieces can do so starting at $399.
The Alexander Gabriel timepieces are crafted from custom 3D-printed components that are assembled by hand in the United States. Featuring Swiss movement, a sapphire crystal face and beautiful bands, the Alexander Gabriel custom watches can be customized from the movement up.
The packaging that the watches come in is also 3D-printed and helps to establish the customized nature of the product before it's even removed from the case.
