This guy is the legend!
Thanks for the time stamps!
Thank you good sir!
I was able to finance my wrist watch business with the profits I made from my Altcoin investment in just 8months. I couldn't even believe I started my business without any loan.
@@charliejordan5282 I wanted to trade altcoins on my own but got confused by the fluctuations in price and lost a lot of my fund, sincerely I don't think investing is for me!
My investment of just $2k in Altcoins has generated over $6k in few weeks . Honestly, to be successful, you need to take a big step , that's where it all begins.
Teddy, your channel is easily the best on TH-cam. You give the most realistic and useful info for watch fans in all price ranges. I'm happy for your continued success, keep it up!
Islander watches! Marc is doing amazing work, and he's a stand up guy
He is, but I guess not everyone cought up to the fact that he is starting to branch out into original designs by now. They see only the homages he does.
What style of comedy?
My wife bought me the ISL-89 for my birthday. She actually bought it the very day it came out. Marc must have regulated the heII out that NH-35 movement cause it hasn't gained or lost more than two seconds in any day I've worn it.
@@jimlittle5769 this is anecdotal too but my Samurai from Islander is also 1.5s a day
Marc and TGV don't really like what Teddy is doing though. You'll realize this if you watch enough of their videos ;). I like them all though, but I'm aware of this fact
TOP CHOICES! 😍❤️✨ Teddy loved a Monta! And I love that Brew was on here! A brand that seriously speaks to me & I love their designs!
Teddy, an incredibly informative video, great job. You do all the heavy lifting to keep us knowledgeable and current
Thanks
As always, Teddy, thank you for shining a light on some truly stunning and well-crafted watches. Following on from this I dipped into each brand, and they're such good alternatives to main brands. The others pieces available from Farer, Brew, Hegid... in fact, and all of them, are truly great. Cheers, Teddy.
Thanks for watching, Chris!
Loved this. A lot of innovation out there; thanks for highlighting it!
Awesome round-up of a variety of great brands!
This TH-cam channel single handedly got me into the world of watches. I to had an Apple Watch like Teddy, and I have not worn it since I bought my first Swiss Watch. I grabbed a Frederique Constant High Life with Blue Dial and have not looked back.
Appreciate comments like this. I am honored to have played a part in your journey!
Great video!
Thank you for all the research and time spent to make this.
I love the way that microbands play around with different colours and case sizes compared to the some of the legacy brands
That Brew caught my eye immediately when it came out. Such a unique piece but it gives me 70s chrono vibes aswell
I immediately went to their website to check out their watches when I first saw it. Has a more 60’s vibe to me. Unfortunately they don’t have a simpler version of that watch removing the other features like that expresso timer. Also sold out too.
Did you buy one?
In the UK Brew means to make a cup of Tea, can't take these watches seriously unfortunately!
@@Andrew.W75 that's why I like it, who doesn't love a brew? Put kettle on ;)
Yep, most definitely an early 70s (maybe very late 60s) vibe. You can see design elements from both the Seiko Pogue and Heuer Monaco, and the other Chronos that were around at the birth of the first automatic chronos from ‘69 onwards.
I review the Farer GMT Bezel here with a shout out to Teddy B: th-cam.com/video/bwY02bXiLgI/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely love the micro talk, thanks for doing the video!
Teddy I am really enjoying the channel. I especially liked the informational videos for new enthusiasts.
Your camera work is unmatched. Absolutely spectacular. Great topic. To me, micro brands are where it’s at. So much more value for the money than paying a huge premium for a name. Case is point is the Baltic Aquascaphe v. the Omega Seamaster.
Love all the brands been brought up here! Thanks Teddy!
I loved the concept behind the Hegid! Love the idea of quickly changing the look of a watch.
Great selection. There are so many fantastic micro brands. Please continue with another video of the same.
Totally awesome video Teddy! I believe the last Microbrand was the most unforgettable! But all are beautiful watches..
Awesome video, thank you Teddy and team
Great vid, TB. Ming and Direnzo are the brands I think of when it comes to best micro brands.
Excellent video. Thanks!
Carpenter and Baltic are my absolute favorites for microbrands. Glad to see them both on the blog post!
Thank you Teddy for another great video.
Great Timely Vid THANKS
Another great production! 👏
Nailed it with this video and some of these models from micro brands. Definitely planted some seeds when I first watched it a few month ago.
Thanks for the invaluable info, just ordered the Brew metric.
Hi Teddy. Long-time fan, first-time commenter. I really enjoy your videos and especially liked the Microbrand piece. I'd be happy to see more of the same in the future. Also, your videos with Kevin O'Leary are wonderful - you two have a real chemistry and play off each other very well. So please more of those in the future as well. Keep doing what you're doing - it's great.
Sooo glad you did another segment on micros Teddy! My favourite micro is Direnzo…I own 3 and the new Solstice looks amazing! I also own Zelos, Vario, Detroit Mint, Lorier, Straton and Helm. Really wish Helm would get their distribution act together as now you have to go on a wait list which is just huge…you’ll never get one at this rate. Cheers guys!!
Wish Teddy would review straton
So glad you mentioned Farer! On my wishlist after a IWC
This is an older video - which means Teddy and his team might not see this comment - but I think it’s important. I’ve heard you talk about limiting the number of watches and brands you mention in many videos in order to keep the time shorter; DON’T! I could listen to you talk about watches for much longer than twelve minutes. Giving more information about more watches over more time is what I look for in list videos. Please don’t be afraid to delve further into subjects; long form content is much more inviting to much of us than it was even just a few years ago. Just my opinion, but I imagine that it is shared by many of your regular viewers. Love everything you do!
Very helpful vid TB.
That Hegid is very interesting.
Preordered my second Traska model this morning. Super solid watch for the price!
Awesome job. I love Farer!
Former in 43mm is going to be my next watch. Exactly what I have been looking for...Thanks for the video
Thanks for a great video, Teddy. I have the Zelos Mako 3 Frost, with a full lume dial. It has quickly become my favorite watch! Another big favorite, I recently acquired is the “ Vario 1918”. This is one you should check out, if you haven’t already!
Love the “Hegid” one!
Farer watches are so beautiful I could weep. Beautifully distinctive and they have a great eye for colour. Firmly on my wishlist.
This was a really nice video. Introduced me to many cool micro brands. The Anordain Plum model was amazing...wish the AR coating was better to do justice to that beautiful enamel dial.
Also I feel *Lorier* should've made the list. ✌🏼
Nice job Teddy. Thank you.
Really dug the Astor and Banks watches. Like a Monta...that I can afford. And that Hegid...really unique concept. Impressed. A bit pricey, but inspiring.
The Anordain is fabulous! Thanks Teddy!
I'm wearing my Monta Noble right now. Incredible watch.
Nice list and models.
Like niche fragrance, microbrands are worth looking into and supporting. Thanks for all you do here.
I love how often he makes these videos nowadays!!
Awesome video on a subject i had wondered about for a long time; what about artisanal watch makers? Thanks for a wonderful video!
Happy to hear your thoughts on the Vero, they are on my radar. Especially since the home office is about 45 minutes from my home. The mint green dial of the Ridge Trail you have is a color match to the Saint Johns Bridge in Portland, OR, which you can see from the Ridge Trail hiking trail.
Thanks Teddy and I have addicted to Vostok after your introduction of this awesome brand .
OK, you talked me into it. I've been jonesing for a bronze watch for some reason. Grabbed a Zelos Abyss off your website. Kudos to you for selling at MSRP and not gouging like some other places out there I looked. You've won a new customer. Looking forward to seeing it in person, hope I can pull off such a big watch.
Best brands... Loved it 🥰
The Brew looks so retro and chic at the same time. Love it.
Fantastic, bring more if it on
omg that Monta looks spectacular!
Hey Teddy, love the video! What do you think about the Baltic MR 01?
Great list, would love to try these watches in the metal! Always hard to come by them in the wild
I like that new Brew. The colors and design are very eye catching.
I have the Farer Bernina. It's a very cool and awesome performing mechanical chronograph watch.
That Hegid at the end with interchangeable case is pretty cool. But, at over $3k?.. does that include a number of cases or just the starting price for one?. Anyways, pretty cool. The closest I've come to something like that has only been a watch with interchangeable bezels. Having a new case and basically new bezel as well is a much more radical change between looks/designs.
I think you need to add Lorier here. Great design philosophy and quality!
Exactly they are great!
They were included last year and are on the blog. So many are worthy to be included but I wanted to touch on some new faces as well as old.
Another great video.
Great discoveries. That British designed "Farer" chrono sport caught my eye and is certainly a conversation starter.
Thanks for sharing Teddy.
Yes, however it's manual rather than automatic as Teddy incorrectly stated. This does however keep it to a reasonable thickness. It comes in a few different colour options, including a very cool black dial and steel bezel.
Very useful video, thanks! Also grateful for the lack of paid sponsorship.
Traska Freediver 👍 Great watch for the money. Have the second generation in mint green with the ceramic bezel, and it feels absolute quality. Gets more attention than my more expensive watches too!
your videos have made me interested in microbrands. What do you think about oak & oscar humboldt? Congratulations, very good channel for watch enthusiasts
The Brew is even better in the flesh. It has a fantastic feel of quality and weight. I bought it after seeing this video a few weeks ago but had to wait for the next issue batch which sold out in hours. I would highly recommend this piece as an every day watch as it holds its own for quality (in my humble opinion) and durability.
Great work Teddy, keep up the well informed reviews.
It’s always sold out on their website. I love the retro look
I think it looks better in the video. Design is very cool but very disappointing in person. Looks like a toy watch.
@@randalneal3773 I disagree, but then that’s the beauty of this hobby/addiction - it is subjective and there is no right or wrong.
That blue Monta Noble is outstanding
Thank you Teddy for giving Hegid such a platform. Last but not least, so happy to be part of the list with great watchmakers !
Happy to showcase. Very novel concept. Keep going!
Teddy I just bought the last of the blue Zelos Makos from their site because of your review.
It’s a trust issue buying watches unseen, but I feel you have bridged this with your channel.
Thanks for turning me into a watch guy.
I’ve gone from none to three in a blink of an eye. 🤣👍
Brew and Baltic keep speaking to me. I got a good deal on a Zelos Swordfish with a bronze case just to see what the bronze thing was all about, and I love it! I think my Vaer is my favorite microbrand in my collection.
Teddy… yet another great video… I’m not likely to ever own a Rolex, Tudor or Omega let alone a Patek Philippe… so as a new lover of watches and watch collecting these videos allow me to be educated on watches within my scope of disposable income… much appreciated!
Nice video, did´t know Astor!
I only recognized Zelos! Great video of what is out there. I was on a Eurocentric watch blog and discovered a diver brand called Scurfa. I bought one as a gift but the scale of the watch didn't match my sons large wrist. I swapped it for a Seiko Samurai that i just received. I grew fond of the Scurfa. It even has a helium release valve!
That Hegid is cool👍
Wow I need that Traska white and gray!
Hi guys,
Thanks for this topic. I am new to microbrands and keen to know allot more. these picks are great to see and know about. How many microbrands are there (as an entirity)?
My mind was blown when I discovered SWC earlier this year. I think they had a bit of a miss with their MKI diver and none of their website photos do the watches justice, but the MKII diver has blown me away. They also do a killer field watch called Bunker out of titanium I have my eye on. And they come with Selita movements and the words Swiss-Made on the dial for around $500. I have the report that my diver passed a 300M pressure test before they shipped it too. Couldn't be more pleased with them.
I’ve got a Baltic Aquascaphe on an artem sailcloth and it’s an amazing combo, definitely recommend.
I don’t personally plan on purchasing any micro brands but the Hegid is really cool.
I have a Monta Noble and I can say that they are fantastic! They look so much better in person too
Thanks Teddy. This is a great subject, I just purchased a Hemel Sea Dart. Could I have your thoughts on this watch? Is the Hemel considered a Micro Brand or a Independent? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for introducing me to Astor Banks. I really like some of their watches. I've also only recently heard of Delma, what do you think of this watch brand?
Great video, Brew metric is sick, I already saved my email to get notified
We'll have the Metric available in the coming weeks. Thanks for signing up, Jeff!
While it is nice to see the quality of Micro Brands continuing to improve, it's a bummer to see that the prices seem to keep going up and up also. Great video as always Teddy.
Hegid have a great concept but fall down on the price front when you can get a well known Swiss made watch for the same amount.
I just picked up a Cruex Automatiq recently! Great Genta styled watched that aren't a direct homage!
Hello Teddy. Will you ever do a video about your own Collection again? Also I would be interested to see a video about your personal grail watches.
That Hegid is an interesting concept. I just got my Zelos Swordfish Ti last week & it’s a great watch for the price ($329). I’ve been looking at Lorier’s Falcon 2, too!
Id keep an eye out for the upcoming Zelos watches. They will be getting a exclusive chronograph and eta 2824-2 replacement movement from Le Joux Perret. Will be some great value watches.
I have a Zelos, i don’t understand why everyone is saying its great value. There are some great features but frankly, their quality isn’t that great. Their cheaper pieces are ok for the price, but comparing the more expensive ones i would rather go for other brands.
P.S Have you guys seen the Zelos wooden outer box, seriously looks like some sketchy cigar box…
@@luayinghanable Try to find another full titanium 300 meter diver with a 4hz movement , lumed ceramic bezel insert and on the fly microadjust for less than 450 bucks. You can't , same goes for their more high end stuff. Try to find a watch with 8 days power reserve , fully skeletonized movement/dial and with unique case materials for less than 2000 usd. You can't.
@@luayinghanable sure their details aren't as precise/refined as other high end brands but a compariable watch would cost ATLEAST double.
@@luayinghanable PS : have you seen the packaging you get with other microbrands/ normal watch brands for 450 usd or less ? 😂
Where did you see this news? Cant find it on Google
Thanks for making the brew even more unattainable. Cheers mate
That Monta is 🔥
Yeah I've always wondered what the difference between a microbrand and an independent are and all I can figure is price.
Great video!! Can you please make a video on guilloche dial watches? Thanks in advance 🙌
I love Hemel, there mechanical watches just capture u in way in can't explain
I have the Vaer Navy Swiss, great watch. ETA 2824 movement, sapphire crystal and of course automatic.
I really like Zelos and Baltic.. Helm could have been included, but WOW all awesome in their own ways!!! Thanks for sharing 👍👍
I’m assuming he left Helm and Halios out because they’re very well known and so tough to get. My White dial Komodo w mint markers is the GOAT diver.
Great list Teddy. I would love to see you comment on Magrette from Mew Zealand and NYC based Lorier.
Love micro brands good video
Brew, Traska, Lorier. Love their watch designs. Would like to see your opinions on Lorier Neptune or Hydra sometime soon 😃
Partial to Lorier here, too - though he did review the very compelling Falcon Series II: th-cam.com/video/vddeM6lWX40/w-d-xo.html
@@marcocarag103 Thanks. I guess I haven’t watched all the videos yet. Need to keep watching. Teddy’s videos are so addictive 😂
The brew is very cool looking
Nice watch to wear with jeans
Thank you, Steve! Glad that you like the new Metric watch.
