Uhuru Impi

The Uhuru Impi is the result of a successful crowdfunded Kickstarter project by Nick Warner. The microbrand brand is based out of South Africa and is inspired by Zulu warriors – more on that below. The cool factor of this watch is the double crown design. The screw-down crown at 3:00 is for winding and setting, the crown at 9:00 is used to operate the internal rotating bezel.

“An impi is a Zulu warrior, armed with an assegai spear and a large cowhide shield. The curves of the case and the strap design of the Impi Automatic draw on the shapes and textures of the shield. The assegai can be found in the shape of the spearhead hands.” -Uhuru (http://uhuruwatches.com/)
