  • Grand Seiko Killer | Minase Horizon Mid-Size Review
    A lot of us watch enthusiasts love our Japanese watch brands like Seiko, Casio, and Citizen to name a few. However, there are a few lesser known brands from Japan that embrace the same craftsmanship and heritage we all love. Today, we are taking a look at the Japanese watch brand, Minase. Minase is a relatively new brand to the watch scene and I am excited to give you all a tour of the watch model that caught my eye, the Horizon. I hope you all enjoy this watch as much as I did reviewing it!

      Glad you enjoyed my video! I never looked into Minase before and was such a pleasure to discover this brand. Thanks for watching :)

    Absolutely loving this brand! A very fresh take on Japanese watchmaking. They're definitely up there with GS & Credor in terms of their design details.

    • @ClickyBezel

      Super fresh. Always good to see brands adding their flare!

    Very nice to see a spotlight on some Japanese indie watches. The whole aesthetic of what Minase does feels very Swiss watches from the 70s. Adore the bracelet on that thing as it reminds me of some vintage Rado models and the floating-dial is fun. Another great video Chris!

    Refreshing learning about new brands! I’m speechless with some of these Minase dials. So burnt out from Rolex, gs, Tudor, seiko, etc. (whilst they’re all great). Subscribed Ty

      Exactly! It’s always good to refresh the palate here and there with new brands. Thanks for watching and the sub!

    Subscribed. Thanks for featuring Minase. I like their 5-Windows though I'm not sure I could rock that style & size. But this model might work for me. I'll investigate.

    • @ClickyBezel
      @ClickyBezel  ปีที่แล้ว

      The 5-windows is absolutely gorgeous! I’m a big fan but thought I’d give the Horizon some love. Thanks a lot for watching! 😃

    Minase is one of my favorite watch brands. I look forward to owning one. I wish they would make a more neutral looking bracelet for women. Great review, thank you!

    Never heard of this brand, but I love the story and am interested in seeing the rest of their catalog.

    • @ClickyBezel
      @ClickyBezel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great heritage for such a young brand right? Their current lineup is pretty impressive and definitely has their own unique identity associated with their brand heritage. I love it! Thanks a lot for watching!

    I have discovered them about 6 (or so) months ago and it was also nice timing prior to them releasing more editions to their existing lines. I actually plan to go and see them here in the UK at an event, since this is the only way I can go to take a close look, try it on and maybe make short photos/video skits to see how it feels. Personally, I am open minded in regards to what model I would want eventually, but atm if I had to pick only one I would go with Divido Shibo-Urushi (the "sky of shells" version) :)

    • @ClickyBezel
      @ClickyBezel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's one of those watching where you really have to see it in person to get the full experience. The Urushi lacquered Divido's are beautiful. I was able to see them at the WindUp Watch Fair in SF and the level of detail is incredible. Excited for you to take a look at them. Thanks for watching!

    Killer ? GS movements are in a completely different ligue. Minase movement is based on an ETA movement: Accuracy of the ETA caliber 2892-A2 can range from as much as +/-20 seconds per day to just +/-5 seconds/day. Designs are spectacular that’s sure.

    • @ClickyBezel
      @ClickyBezel  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You’re right! They are a very young company in comparison to GS. I’m hoping with time, they will develop their own calibers that will be unique to their design language. They are on the right track with their cases and bracelets! I’m excited how they will evolve in the coming years. Thanks a lot for watching!

    Yes I have desired one of these or a 7-Windows for years. It is what I am saving up for. I would love to see them put a spring drive in one, then I woud have the best of GS AND a real stunner of a Minase...

    • @ClickyBezel
      @ClickyBezel  ปีที่แล้ว

      7-Windows is such a unique watch from Minase. If they could somehow pop in a spring drive in there, it’s game over 😅. Thanks so much for watching!

    Good review. I've been following the brand for a while now. One thing you could have clarified is that the entire watch is finished by hand.

    • @ClickyBezel
      @ClickyBezel  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Correct! Done the Japanese way. I love it. Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to watch this video!

    You pulled that one out of the bag Chris. First I've heard, handsome piece can definitely see it's influences but why not everyone copies everyone.
    What does Minase mean?
    Like how you sneak the Goyard in, bet it's your wife's.

    More or less Cartier Santos price??

    • @ClickyBezel
      @ClickyBezel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s not for everyone and overall value may appear a bit tough to tip you over the edge to buy a piece from Minase. However, in hand, you can see how the price is reflected in its case design and finishing. I’m hoping one day they will use an updated in-house caliber unique to their current design language. However, that will probably take some time to develop. It should be really interesting how the brand grows! Thanks so much for watching!

    • @matthewmonaghan3122

    yes, lovely watches, I have seen them here and there. a bit overpriced, but that's subjective :)

    • @ClickyBezel

      Maybe in the future they will offer their own caliber. Will take some time for development but who knows! Thanks for watching!
