“Slava, is your next blog post going to be about Apple again?” asked Dave Auerbach, a friend and social entrepreneur from MIT. “Nope,” I responded.
I lied.
If you watched the iPhone 5 Keynote end to end, you noticed that Jony Ive, the SVP of Design talked about precision manufacturing and using precision jigs for assembly. I thought to myself, “Hmm, Gotham does that.” Here are the latest photos Brad sent back from the assembly factory. Notice the custom jigs Brad and Angela are holding - they keep our assembly tolerances super tight! If you haven’t ordered one yet, you can still get the Best Bike Lights in the world from our first production run.
Brad holds the precision PCB + LED assembly jig.
Angela demonstrates the precision screw and hinge-pin assembly jig.
Limited Edition, serial-numbered Gunmetal Black.

I can’t wait to get my Gotham light, just in time for both commutes to work to be in the dark. I will be ordering two more for my other two bikes, if I am as impressed as I expect to be by these lights.
