K-wow! I'm really smitten by this $1500 collection

It's never been a better time to be a watch enthusiast. You can get a CNC machine in your living room, order movements at Costco (maybe), and as long as you got the design chops, you've got a watch company.

But that last part is easier said than done. These 3 recent releases are really interesting, so let's hit some notable micros this week!

My son came back from Japan having bought one of the items from Kuoe, not this exact model but a very nice piece indeed. After watching this video, I am keenly interested in that Nezumi Aviera GMT!!!

We don’t all have Costco!

Super classy 👍

3 great choices Max! Been eyeing that Nezumi since @DeeperBlue painstakingly linked all the Swedish micros after their meetup.

Nice selection for this collection, Max! That diver is truely unique. The hour hand is like a floating piece of lume. But a non clicky bezel? Hmm.

It's a design study 😉

Yeah I didn't care about the Cali dial until I found out it actually has a major military history!

Do you know of any California dial watches with a date function at a lower price point than the Mabry?

They’re certainly unique dials but seem quite divisive!

·

Excellent video Max. Now I have to go to YouTube to smash the like button.

I like that gmt

Here's one for you. Grayton California with a Seiko NH35 automatic movement. It's a nice looking and quality watch for a few hundred bucks or less.

Kuoe has to be one of the best micros out there in terms of hitting all the aesthetics, pricepoints, and marketing elements required to gain the attention of the collector community straight out the gate. Reminds me of of how Baltic came into the scene. Really cool brand that already is establishing it's brand cache.

·

Really great and honest video, Max. 🙌 👍

·

Now I know how to pronounce Kuoe. Once you pointed out the issue with the seconds hand on the Nezumi, I couldn’t unsee it. I wonder if other reviewers noticed that too. Loving the vibes in the new studio and the reverb 🤣

Great comparison. Though I've not been super excited about the newer Baltic releases.

Reverb is my nemesis 😡

Another great, fun video! The Kuoe got my attention, though I've been eyeing the Nezumi's posted here. Thank you for always finding more rabbit holes to chase Image
