New Leatherman product coming in 2015...

[babola]

I am still waiting forma someone to come out and reveal it's all a joke, something like an april's fool. I don't know i don't want to offend anyone but it all smells like fish.

Funny that was my first thought as well but decided to reserve my comment so not to offend the OP

[tosh]

Sorry guys, had to take down the pics, because I was asked to by my buddy.

Not to worry, I haven't copied them 

Tho' it sounds pretty serious - hope he hasn't breached any confidentiality agreements.

It's not a joke, and I'm not that easily offended, just wanted to give you guys the scoop.

Don't worry that you haven't copied 'em, I still have the RAW's
Regarding the breaching : I honestly don't know. All he said was that they were giving him a hard time about it in the US.
But that does mean that MT.o gets read by Leatherman employees, possibly higher-ups

Cool, thanks. So just to get my head around this, judging by your avatar flag you are in/from Belgium, your mate with the 'new watch' is also in Belgium and works for a LM overseas office, subsidiary or a contractor?

Or did this meet-up between you happen in US?

Inquisitive minds would like to know....LOL!

You are entirely correct in what you are trying to wrap your head around.

Thanks, the EU/US Leatherman linkage is a new concept for me personally, good to know there's some outside-US influence to LM product design.

Very much so,yes! The Style PS was a mod first done by one of our members,and the designer of the Skelitool is one of us!

AFAIK we're visited by Gerber SOG and CRKT too

Somebody in the know should push the bit holder watch band idea to leatherman.
.

if they used there flat bits I think it could work well.

not to drive them with the watch.  Just storage

No, please don't.

No, please don't.

I think it would be good for my off work edc .

I normally would not  carry extra bits when I'm not working. 

A watch band that holds bits and looked good
Would be great for me.

I use standard 1/4 bits at work . So I wouldn't wear it most days.

something for the weekend s

And therein lies the problem. 

Borderline oxymoron, and I haven't seen any made or done yet that satisfies both requirements.

His CV posted there reads like Superman's...

  So what was the thing? Never saw the photo, or a sketch. Or was this another hoax?

It was a watch thing.

[enki_ck]

Seems this thing is gonna get made.

They're gonna call it the THREAD. Will make it a bit hard to look for info on it on here.

i vaguely remember how it looks...

[zoidberg]

TRACK would have been better.

Tread, not Thread.
Doesn't mention anything about tools though.

[Grathr]

I havent seen the pics. Is it somekind of watch with a bitholder?
A watch is a logical step for EDC gear. Im actually a little surprised Gerber has not made one yet.

Watch, yes. Logical step for EDC gear, no comment.

[Chako]

I hope they do make it.

[babola]

I hope they do make it.

And if they make it less of a Timex and more of a Hamilton Field Khaki look, I'll be all over it.

Previous LM attempts in outdoor watch department left me cold. Not to mention that watch/bracelet tool abomination someone posted a picture of here few months ago.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!   

Is there someone in LM we could talk to who can stop this?!

[enki_ck]

Well they read here so they must now by now. That's why there aren't any pics in the OP anymore as the guy who provided the pics to the OP got asked by headquarters to have them removed.

[tosh]

I'm pretty certain I'm not the only member here who copied those pics
I'll upload if people want to see, but don't want to go and get MT'o into hot water 

[enki_ck]

I don't think that it would be fair towards the OP. Maybe in the No lifer board for reference.
