Good stuff.

BUYER BEWARE!!!! I was scammed by Aliexpress!!!! Didn’t guarantee a non delivery of item!!! Cost me big

love that Thorn with the vintage proportions!

very interesting finds. subscribed

BENYAR watch is stunning! The design is eye-catching. Love it! 😍

Thanks for the feature!

This ranking earned my subscription - nice work; I really enjoyed the rationale you gave for every ranking without going into lengthy reasoning. The "shut up and take my money" with the Indian accent is hilarious!!

I own the Ardio Caribe, and it's an exceptional watch. I'm impressed you found and included this tiny microbrand in your video. Also liked your other brand picks. Subscribed.

Fantastic video many brands here I’ve not seen before and I watch loads of micro reviews. Thanks really appreciate this post

Audio is a new one for me. Thanks 👍🏾

Nice work, would be helpful to have some links to the brand websites in the description

Great video. Thanks.

Hello, and thanks for this video, especially for making me known the Canadian Branch and for remembering me the Swedish Alato and the Australian Galo. 👍

How about Studio Underdog

Devin, nice video. Saw a bunch of microbrands I have not heard of before. Thanks.

One of those rare occasions that I agree with every ranking. Good video with a nice amount of detail on every brand and your ranking. Would love to see a lot more brands covered by you.

I put my salmon colour Pierre Paulin jumping hour hands on a rose gold shark mesh bracelet. Looks fabulous...

MAMACOO's always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of watch 99% of people will never see.

I seem to be in the minority here...but my Christopher Ward is junk! Never again!

Excellent choices. Green dial watches have been of interest to me this year , so to review so many in one video was appreciated.

My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from MAMACOO

Traska offers a hardening on their watch which makes it scratch resistant. Unlike Wise. If you take a scratcher to Wise and Rolex, they will scratch. Not Traska. So I'm not sure why Traska wouldn't be the equal. Or the superior of Wise watches. The designs may be more simple, but this type of DLC-like diamond coating is normally only found on Swiss watches, or Grand Seikos. I would rather have a scratch resistant watch for the long-haul, than a watch with 903L steel. I prefer French companies like Herbelin, Charlie Paris that do all the assembly in house and also have some truly unique designs. The vast majority of these microbrands below are made in China, making them nothing but Chinese watches with outside branding. One winds up with a Chinese Corniche for $799 with a Chinese replica available the "Specht and Sonne" for $100, telling you everything you need to know about microbrands. The Chinese version is defined as "Woodpecker and Sons"- who would buy a name like that? The type of steel used is overrated. The type of hardening agent is a more rare and valuable feature. I myself will buy something like Herbelin and Charlie Paris that is designed and assembled outside of China, regardless of any of the above.

I have been considering this watch. I would buy the Serica but for two reasons 1) the Soprod movement doesn't impress me, and 2) it doesn't come with the date function.

Can you share the aliexpere link?

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MAMACOO's watches are the most intriguing.

Which nato is this?

Nice list and well paced video editing! I'm happy to see Direnzo getting included here: an incredible microbrand, that's too often overlooked by other TH-camrs.

Really enjoyed this video!

CW is not a microbrand. Independent? Yes. Micro? No!

Good list! There were brands I saw for the first time. Still, you could've mentioned a few more... like Zelos and HELM, for instance, or Magrette. There's a wait list for HELM, and it takes quite a while to get one. As far as TRASKA, you're right that the brand name is kinda weird. I just got the newest gen. Freediver and the quality is really good. The steel used has a hardness rating of 1200HV, which makes it very tough to scratch. Their customer service is great, and the brand offers a 3-year international warranty. That's something to consider.

Omega Seamaster comparison 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Very nice overview... I didn't even know a few microbrands yet. Thank you.

You might want to look at a brand set up in Dallas TX, Jack Mason. They are making some nice watches these days. Some are regulated in house and some are now Swiss made.

i had avi 8 once,what a garbage

Two Brands I would have rated a tier above where you placed them, that's Beaucroft & Traska. So many Great Brands, it's really difficult to rank them, but you've done an excellent Job., my friend. ✌️

What about Yema?

What about Yema?

No Zelos?

Great video! Totally recognize that you’re limited with the vast number of micro brands to review/rate. I would have been interested in your opinion of Monta Watches. Thanks!

Like many things in life, don’t be afraid to make some mistakes. All movements have their merit, so be bold and buy the watch that moves you. Remember that partner that seemed so perfect at first, then turned into a bit of a nightmare? Exactly. You remember that one. Buy the wristwatch that captures your imagination.

I bought the Echo Neutra Averau and am loving it.

I believe no man can say no to MAMACOO's watches

I bought one with white dial - love the watch, but be careful of the screws on the band. I wish I had checked the screws added some locktite from the outset. I lost one of the screw heads and finding a replacement has proven challenging. Have it on a sailcloth strap now and it looks good. Shame though, as the Milanese strap was sweet.

Surprised you didn’t mention Zelos

Very enjoyable video!!

serica replica. A shame imho.

Nice video to see microbrands. Just a heads up, since you made your video 11 days ago, Trafford Crossroads watches are all sold out at $650. Microbrands are nice but producing small quantities and no longer following a model that works in the catalog means losing customers. And for $650 there are brands that produce. For example, I bought a CITIZEN Super Titanium Ref. NJ0180-80X - €334.00 with a discount from my watchmaker. Maen Manhattan Mean 37 with the Selita movement is 1399 euros without VAT. With 1000 euro VAT inc. I take a Mido Big Date Powermatic 80 movement. Christopher Ward makes beautiful watches but at 2500-3500 euros I buy without problem a Logines Flagship Heritage Moonphase. That's what is beautiful with watches is that there is something for everyone, all tastes and all budgets.

I picked up the SW200 in black on 11/11 for £200, it’s an amazing piece. My one lost 5 seconds over a week. Incredible. I have their engineer in black MOP too, and that is by far one of the best watches from Ali.

Have it in black with a swiss ETA movement: it is one of my best and accurate watches in my collection (and I have many, including luxury items)

Decent video but some of these are not microbrands
