Interview with Robert Leung, Founder of Amorstil

What is the meaning of Amorstil, why name it Amorstil?

Our company is named Amorstil because we envisioned a brand where everyone can afford and enjoy our products. The name “Amorstil” comes from a combination of the prefix ‘amor’, which in Spanish means ‘to love’, and the suffix ‘stil’ which, in German means ‘style’. We wanted a brand name where people can associate with fashionable products and ‘loving style’.

How did you get started?

Our story started out as two friends searching for a watch-one of us had a budget of $100 to spend, and we had trouble finding a watch that we liked within that price range. Big watch brands typically have huge markups for their watches, so we had the idea of creating a well-designed watch that many people can afford. We ended up doing 3D modeling of our initial watch designs and once we created a timepiece my friend and I would wear, we decided it would be the product that we’d release to the public.

What is the goal for Amorstil? What do you wish to achieve?

Our goal with Amorstil is to create a watch company that endures through time. We want to be seen as a serious competitor with other big watch brands, but most importantly, we want to create stylish products that people will love.

Where is the watches available and how do customers order one?

The watches are currently available for pre-order on our Kickstarter campaign starting from $35. We’re off to a fantastic start and we’re looking forward to our journey of creating beautiful timepieces for everyone.

Please tell us more about your self Robert

I’m currently a college student in Austin, Texas. I’ve always been interested in technology, design and products, so I thought it’d be fun to create a physical product, specifically Amorstil Watches. I think watches are fascinating because they’re a really cool combination of engineering, art, and personal expression.
