Thank you to all the amazing WatchCrunch members for your support, comments, and countless votes over the past two weeks. It was an exciting time and we're super happy to lift the silverware.

We'd also like to thank this platform and the tournament organizer AllTheWatches for putting in the time and effort to foster a conversation around smaller watch brands, many of whose owners we know personally. We're looking forward to seeing many WatchCrunchers, at the upcoming Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, April 28-30.
