From Prototype to Proof // Building the Hive Watch

By @lordbutterfly•2/9/2026•hive

You buy Hive so you can be somebody.
You buy a Hive watch when you are somebody.
😎

Finally put it together. Now it’s time to take the next few steps.

This watch is a prototype, proof that Hive can live inside real products, not just screens and wallets. Now I need to build the website that explains the vision clearly. Launch the presale to validate demand and bring early supporters into the story. To actually make all the watches I need confirmed presales. 😅 This would cost waaaay too much to make all at once under the presumption that it would sell. When Ill actually launch the sale? I dunno. Price is shit right now, seems like a stretch to go for it right now.

Ill first try and finish the authentication app so every watch can cryptographically prove origin and ownership on Hive.
Show that blockchain isn’t just abstract tokens and speculation, show that it can actually protect real objects in the real world.

The product becomes a demonstration of viability, manufacturing tied to on-chain identity, authenticity tied to public verification.
This isn’t just merch, otherwise I would not go Swiss, I would go Chinese.

This aims to be a working, high quality model for proving a product authentication project powered by Hive.
