InstruMMents was founded by Mladen and Boris Barbaric, creators of the popular Misfit Shine smartwatch. Sonny Vu, CEO of Misfit and the CTO and president of Fossil connected devices, is also a co-founder and investor of the new company.

"I wanted to make something for me," Mladen Barbaric told Mashable in a recent interview, "something I would use."

Mladen says the device is ideal for engineers, interior decorators -- anyone with a design background who needs tools to sketch and measure. But it sounds like it'll also be pretty useful for anyone attempting a DIY.
