They sell more watches than the rest of Swiss industry combined. They are not just common on the wrist, they are common in people’s minds, even if they can’t afford them.
As someone who can't afford anything on this list myself, I don't think it's a "fortune." Quality watches, especially mechanical watches are not inexpensive to make
Would love for Chris to curate a similar collection but in the 3k range. For example, you could score a Monta Noble, a Nodus Deep and Lorier chronograph for the price. I bet you would rarely see a person in the wild with the same watches. 3k is a lot but could be a point of comparison.
I think formex is still kinda of slept on, and is similar in quality as C.Ward but less known. Also as a MD resident gotta give love to Tsao Baltimore. Really nice watches with unique dials and finishes. I own their Natty Boh collab and love it. Honorable mentions: spinnaker (50 phantoms, Scottish watches collab) and Avi-8 (1942 capcom, fly boy x islander)
Hi Cris. the first time I heard of CW was three years ago right here wiht you, I began curious and after that I bought a C60 pro600 that very same year, and still love it., I live in MX and not even my watch guy knows what it is, his impression was "this rivals RADO and is superior"., thanks a lot for making me aware of CW. Greetings from MX.
Ophion are great love them a lot. Impossible to on someone else wrist. Another brand that is making fantastic watches is straum. I m eagerly waiting for kollokium new release...love the look
Interesting selection, but Zelos surely is definitely not one no one knows about - I sometimes wished they were when I did not get my favourite model... Christopher Ward is also very well known, especially in Europe.
Thanks for introducing us to these relatively unknown brands. If you had more space on your list, would RGM Watch Co. in Pennsylvania, and Sartory Ballard in France make your list?
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the amzwatch, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
I have a Zelos Comet in sky blue as my daily wearer. It just ended up being the one I'm most comfortable with, and it keeps great time for a manual wind movement (Sellita SW215).
Angles watch and Azimuth. I own one of each, and I've never seen another one, either in South America (Colombia) where I live and/or in the US (there must be more but I haven't seen them).
12:33 man I love the look of that Empire Stratotimer... I just afraid it'll wear too big on my wrist. Also, WISE and MAEN really deserve recognition for what they're putting out for very affordable prices.
Chris if you could repeat the brand a couple of times during the review or maybe graphic it would help. You normally say it once at the beginning and once at the end. Thanks
@@WatchChris I saw that and appreciate it. When you are doing multiple brands it’s tough to track which watch you are talking about. I would literally have to write down the name to keep it straight or rewatch the video. The links are helpful. I looked up 4 of them. I was only interested in 2 watches but didn’t remember their brands. You’ve been around long enough to know watch nerds get zoned in. Make it easy to find and buy. Thanks.
Well, I wouldn't say that no one has heard of Zelos or Chr. Ward - but the others are a revelation and an education. You could teach a watch class at NYU or the New School.
Any way you could put in the description rough prices at time of making this video. Affordable is always subjective but would love to have ballpark numbers
Cincinnati Watch Co Towson Watch Co Visitor Watch Co Fledderman Von Rieste Watches Tsao Baltimore Zenea Watches This is enough to keep you busy for a bit😂😂
Yes, they are expensive. And you can find better options for less. I’ve seen spaceone and Atowak in person and the second is miles better than the first.
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
"I don't regret (selling the Ochs und Junior) because I really love the watch that I got." 10 seconds later... "...however, I sold (the OuJ) and I *do* regret it" Well which is it 😂
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the AMZWATCH has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the #amzwatch we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
lol well maybe in your social circle Rolex is very common but not on mine 🤣
They sell more watches than the rest of Swiss industry combined. They are not just common on the wrist, they are common in people’s minds, even if they can’t afford them.
I have a Jack Mason Stratotimer. It’s a fantastic watch with excellent finishing and super comfortable.
RZE is a brand I think should be on this list. I don’t think they get enough love, even by true “watch people” in the know.
Nobody likes the guy that boast about how they knew band before they were big. You are too cool guy.
MARATHON.
These watches cost a fortune ...
It’s all relative
"only collectors know" should've been your first clue
@@adamfletter5842 Chris uses that phrase constantly. It’s meaningless.

👍👍👍 Nice Watch and Elegant Watch introduce by Watch Expert - Watch Chris 👍👍👍
Traska. I just purchased a Venturer GMT and I love it. It also uses the Myota 9075 so it’s a true GMT.
I have the same Traska. Wow it’s an awesome watch. Unbelievable for the price actually.
Came here to say this. Have yet to see one in person, but love the designs, and have heard nothing but great things!
@@bhstennis04you will not be disappointed!
I’m interested in the Jack Mason GMT, might get that one later. Thanks for the info.

Have you seen the website for Towson Watch Company in Maryland?

Sinn is a good brand too
My Royter is my favorite piece
Custom marijuana leaf on my Roter
The blue is so deep
The chrono is unreal
I love the Dufrane -Travis collection

Well, I own a watch from a micro brand not listed here: AnOrdain - model 2, orange fume.
Angles watch and Azimuth. I own one of each, and I've never seen another one, either in South America (Colombia) where I live and/or in the US (there must be more but I haven't seen them).
New subscriber here and fellow watch addict!! Beautiful time pieces ❤️
Fun list
Shame they’re almost all sold out
I love that concrete window one looks like that new AP
Please try to get and review a Vayth. They look amazing but aren't covered at all except a couple of videos in their native language

Eberhard & Co. Swiss independent less than 20000 per year known for their chronographs.
Yes, they are expensive. And you can find better options for less. I’ve seen spaceone and Atowak in person and the second is miles better than the first.
You need to look at Itay Noy
Habring2 should have had a shout
I would never hear the end of it if I bought a "Royter"
I like delma I don't think lot of people know about this swiss brand not to expensive
A good collection can include main stream and independents. I would avoid being on the extremes. Name dropping Rolex is predictable. 🙄
Robot, from Prague.
Very expensive for an unknown brand - for same price or less , I can get many Swiss brands.
I don't have anything to do with a brand wherein I have to put my name on a waitlist.

@@WatchChris yeap that sounds like a true watch collector alright
Habring2
A guy ease up on the upsell on the rorter watches we get it he's your body you got one for free the upsell is a little much
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.
Aaaaalways picking on Rolex
some of those brands are trying too hard to be different, not sure I'd want to buy any of them....just like I will never want to own a Rolex
I also like amzwatch replicas. People who don’t wear them like professionals can’t tell the difference. Their workmanship is really great luxuriatey
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
TANDORIO
PAGANI DESIGN
CADISEN
What an amazing outcome for a beautiful watch. Always a pleasure to see MAMACOO work your magic. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us!
