The MMI Dumbo is a new watch with an admittedly very funny name, but it comes with some interesting design elements that I think are worth taking a look at. MMI is a new watch brand based in Singapore, and it’s in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign for the Dumbo diver. Now, there are no shortage of new watch brands popping up on Kickstarter and elsewhere all the time, but there’s a playfulness to what MMI has created here and a novelty to the design that is worth taking a look at. Digging through their press materials, it’s clear that real thought has gone into the look and feel of the Dumbo. Let’s take a closer look.
