‘Kentucky, Verona, Monaco, Pasadena etc. etc?
Nope.

I have a feeling it's either fashionable locations that have some connection to KITH or perhaps places that Ronnie Fieg likes to visit. Will be interesting to get the backstory on the location names chosen for each watch.

Somehow I secretly think it will be a nice watch. Apart from the peripheral issues.

It might be as simple as the locations where there are physical KITH stores:

No plastic cases on these, all metal. Dunno about the bezels though
If they're all updated with modern quality materials, the rumored pricing might be palatable. I just don't know if I can get past the KITH-Heuer branding to buy one.

I am a little confused though. This article talks as if there's only one watch limited to 1350 pieces, yet we know there are sets...
I think that was just taken off the caseback image, which says "One of 1350". I don't know if that applies to a specific given model, or the total number of all, with different lower LE amounts for each color combo variation. It may not include the numbers for the ones included in the box set.

Interestingly, MS Copilot provided this info on the Collectors' Box set of 10.

Pretty sure the Green one is limited to 825 pieces. None are individually numbered.

Wouldn't surprise me if, 20-30 years from now, newbies will be logging on to this forum and asking if this old "Kith Heuer" watch they just picked up on ebay is real or a counterfeit.

Even scarier (funnier?) is will the counterfeiters bother to counterfeit these watches or not. I guess it depends on how well they sell (or not).

It also has me wondering, did Kith buy part of TAG Heuer?

Or, even worse, is LVMH now selling naming rights to their brands? Kinda like they do with sports stadiums?

I've read elsewhere that the models sold exclusively by KITH will be named after cities. So collectors may want to get all the "cities". 😉
I guess the different planet names were taken !!!

Copilot basically just echoes the text published on the kith website:

According to someone on Reddit, KITH loyalty program "Vitality" level customers will get early access to the watches on May 1st. The watches will then be available to the general public starting on May 6th from KITH.

That's the reason for the two separate pages on the KITH website.

"Apparel and accessories" will be interesting to see. Perhaps Rob can pick up a cool $1800 hoodie with the kith heuer logo on the chest 😎
