What are some of your favorite microbrands?

Nice content, but one can clearly notice that you're reading from a prompter and that feels a bit unnatural...

[mtmatt]

Thank you for this video - some really unique offerings. I'm really enjoying my Monta Triumph, which I just received.

[BoozewithNick]

Boldr and Helm, for sure. Love the jacket/sweater.

[phildupuis]

All great choices. I'm particularly fond of the AnOrdain and Baltic brands. I own a Baltic MR01 and hope one day to add an AnOrdain to my wrist. One other impressive microbrand I would include is Maen. They make some great quality watches for very reasonable prices.

Some good brands there.
To add some: Balticus from Poland, Duckworth Prestex and Christopher Ward from UK, Circula from Germany.

You’ve presented some of my favourite micro brands, although Yema is not a micro brand! I really like Direnzo and Zelos, too! Subscribed!

[DJTripleBypass]

You should check out Out Of Order from Italy, Malm from Swede, Horpa from India, and S.U.F. from Finland

Personally my favorite micro brand is vario, they are mainly known for there ww1 field watch but they also got a cool art deco one

[miguelflores]

Straight to the point! Really nice video

[RandomChessTalk]

My man, I was surprised how good selection you did here. I pick Brew as my favourite. Keep it up!

[nicogerard]

Great video, and a strong list. Halios and Serica are a couple of other big favorites for me!

Kurono Tokyo is another one with INCREDIBLE dials

[kevinjohnbourne]

I would add the Elliot Brown Holton. It has a pedigree of use, versus just one of association.

[RagnarHoff]

-Undone. They make a little bit of everything from serious looking divers to fun cartoon designs. A very fun brand to check out.
-Lum-Tec. Just serious looking tool watches that has their own identity.

[vitocorleone]

Zelos, Steinhart, Dievas and Boldr to name a few

[davidgiles]

I love Marloe watches for their design, ability to tell a story and value for money. I feel they should get an honourable mention.

[jibranm]

Great video!! I would Definitely add MING.

[chrisenchemin]

Even if it's a pleasure to see 2 brands from France, Yema is not a micro brand. Founded in 1948, it has been a big brand, before quartz crisis.

good brand selections here. feedback: the video chapters/sections have typos and at times don't line up with what you're presenting, some brands are also missing
