Brew will win this because they have been around longer and they have loads of fanboys here...
I don't own a Brew...definitely not my cup of Joe...
I am impressed with what Marcus and Betina have done with Moels...so they get my vote...
The new 369 should be killer...don't miss the pre-order going on right now...
Here is the one I ordered...Velvet Noir...
Here is the first release from Moels...

Agreed. And its got lume. Proving you can have basic functionality/legibility, along with style/design.
Brew is definitely something else and I do enjoy it! These are my 2 and designs are definitely hipster vibish. They get my vote for sure.
Both are really cool but haven't had a chance to be hands on.

Pre ordered my 369 yesterday. They had a tough matchup here against Brew!
On one level I like her designs, on the other I was really impressed by the young lady’s story — my vote goes to the underdog Möels. Goes to show that in a sea of knockoffs authenticity is still a thing with these two brands.
I own the Brew and met their team at the Windup Watch Fair in NYC. Love the watch. They get my vote.
This is a tough one for me.

We have similar taste. Not shared by many, it seems 😉!
For me, it's Möels & Co. hands down. Innovative, unique designs and they have a presence here at WC. They are on my radar for future purchases.
But Mel @ChronoGuy is right with his above post. 😢

Stunning, thanks for sharing!
Surprisingly, this one comes down to the volume of watches offered. Normally, this is not a selling point for me. Typically I find the larger the model catalog, the less individuality and coherency of design I find between the individual watches. Brew does not have a deep catalog, but Möels & Co only have two designs — one of which does little for me. Gotta go Brew for me. I would love to own a Metric some day, but I’m concerned about the proprietary/integrated band system they use.
The Moels 369 is utterly stunning. A truly beautiful watch.
And about twice the cost of the mecaquartz Brews.
Hmmmmmmm.
Apples and oranges

This is my favorite. I love both of these watchmakers. This was tough.
I think this is an extremely tough matchup as you have 2 brands with very interesting and unique designs, albeit nowhere near each other. Obviously the market is big enough for both, but in a head to head it’s a pretty polarizing decision. I have recently made my purchase of the 369:
and am a proud owner of their first watch the 528:
The quality and wearability of the 528 is tremendous, such a lovely watch, and I am sure the 369 will be even better, can’t wait to get it on the wrist. So, obviously it’s Möels for me.
Brew is also getting good press since Idris Elba wore it. Cool thing is not only is Idris apparently a watch enthusiast, he chose to wear a microbrand! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻

*The show I will refrain from commenting on tho, for other reasons not about watches and it will detract from the fun here.
Poll closed for this matchup. Congratulations to Brew!
