* 集计步器和MP3等功能于一体的彩色触摸屏多功能手表
TikTok和LunaTik以简单的方式将iPod Nano变成全世界最酷的多点触控手表。自iPod Nano问世以来,将其作为手表的想法就很执着。但我们要做的,是集精心设计、一流工艺和基于优质材料的完美生产之大成,以与苹果产品无可挑剔的品质相得益彰。它绝非只是一种平庸的画蛇添足式的小玩意。我们想创造的是这样一款产品:你的朋友甚至陌生人会拦住你问:“你手上戴的是啥宝贝?在哪弄的?”

TikTok是个简单的后配嵌接设计。用户能轻松地用其将Nano佩戴于腕间。它简洁方便地与Nano化身为一体,并将Nano转化为一款现代化的多功能手表。

LunaTik的设计初衷是为想将Nano变成一块手表、并随之成为与朋友间最新话题的人们提供一款物超所值的转换套件。它采用的是航空级铝压铸工艺,然后经由数控加工将其变成最终这样一种形态。

腕带采用的是高等级的硅橡胶,五金件是结实的不锈钢而非会褪色的镀铬黄铜。这些表壳和表带的质量都经过非常挑剔地检查,所选生产厂家就是为Nixon、Diesel、Vestal和耐克等公司制造最好手表的那些厂家。
目前,许多钟表公司一直在努力制造多点触控的彩屏手表。这并非轻而易举。Nano本身是个工程奇迹。多点触控、彩屏、长的电池续航时间、MP3、收音机、拍照、计步器,Nike+和时钟都装在一个小得不可思议的封装内。就像对手机的重新定义一样,也是苹果使Nano成为可能。在时钟模式,Nano的电池持续时间最短是一周。我们很高兴能帮助完成将其转换为每个人都可以享用的一款手表的努力。

我们因此有缘相遇。坚持为大品牌做配套产品是我们——MINIMAL的暂时定位。但与许多设计师一样,我们的梦想是最终有自己的产品。但是,资金、生产和销售一款新产品是全然不同的另一码事。对我们的小工作室来说,Kickstarter是实现我们很多想法——我们知道人们会喜欢,但大公司都不屑一做——的一种伟大方式。我们没有大公司所患的公司政治病和优柔寡断,所以热爱创造很酷的新东西。我们相信,会把想法变成现实的社区和个体具有的蓬勃力量,我们希望这仅仅是个开始。资助至少25美元,您就预订了一款TikTok;而资助50美元,您就预订了LunaTik,而你的资助将帮助使其成为现实
——我们相信它会是一款很酷的iPod增值附件。
如果您资助的是限量版,您将得到一款红色阳离子表面处理的“粉丝”版Nano腕表。

TikTok预计零售价34.95美元;LunaTik预售69.95美元。
TikTok+LunaTik Multi-Touch Watch Kits

TikTok+LunaTik Multi-Touch Watch Kits
TikTok and LunaTik simply transform the iPod Nano into the world's coolest multi-touch watches. The idea to use the Nano as a watch was an obvious one ever since the product was announced. But we wanted to create a collection that was well designed, engineered and manufactured from premium materials and that complemented the impeccable quality of Apple products. Not just clipped on a cheap strap as an afterthought. We wanted to create a product that your friends and strangers would stop you and ask "WTF is that??? And where can I get one?!"

TikTok is a simple snap-in design. It allows the user to easily and securely snap the Nano into the wrist dock. It cleanly and simply integrates the Nano and transforms it into a modern multifunction timepiece.

LunaTik is designed and intended to be a premium conversion kit for someone that wants to dedicate their Nano to being a watch and the newest conversation piece with their friends. It is forged from Aerospace Grade Aluminum and then machined via CNC into its final form.

The straps are made from high grade silicone rubber and the hardware is solid stainless steel not some chrome plated brass that will wear off. The quality of these watch cases and straps will be scrutinized very carefully and produced in the same factories that produce the best watches for companies like Nixon, Diesel, Vestal, and Nike.

So many watch companies have struggled to make a multi-touch color display watch to date. It is no small task. The Nano itself is an engineering wonder. Multi-Touch, color display, long battery life, MP3, radio, photos, pedometer, Nike+ and clock all in an impossibly small package. Just like reinventing the phone it took Apple to make it possible. And in clock mode the Nano battery lasts at least a week before recharging. We are excited to help complete the effort in converting it to a watch that everyone can enjoy.
So here is where you come in. Designing products is what we, MINIMAL, do day-in and day-out for big brands. But like most designers our dream is to eventually make our own products. But funding, manufacturing and distributing a new product is a whole other story. Kickstarter is a great way for us to realize many of the ideas that we have in our small studio that we know people will love but big companies are scared to do. We love creating cool stuff without the big company politics and indecision. We believe in the emerging power of community and the individual to bring ideas to life and we hope that this is just the beginning. By pledging at least $25 you are pre-ordering TikTok or by pledging $50 you are pre-ordering the LunaTik and helping make what we believe is a very cool iPod accessory a reality.
And if you pledge at the Limited Edition levels you will get one of the red anodized Backer versions.

With your support we are targeting to have the TikTok shipping to Backers by late December and the LunaTik by mid January. We hope that you are inspired and excited by the idea and choose to support the project. Either way please spread the word and share with your friends. Everyone has at least one friend that is a watch geek.
Note: TikTok will retail for $34.95 and LunaTik will retail for $69.95.
