Literally the only watch channel on Youtube that came up with the search.

That was more from a superficial perspective, as in I can understand that watch enthusiasts could have that impression and not consider these brands due to some horological snobbery without actually seeing what is on offer. However, what I was trying to say was that there is more to these brands once you look more closely. If they use miyota mechanical movements, made in good quality factories in Japan owned by traditional watch brands, have their own very original designs (not homages) etc... What prevents watch enthusiasts (many of whom love similar or lower quality aliexpress or micro brand watches) from considering them? That was the gist of my question, as well as a request to find out more about the linked Masterpiece series.

Some examples here. (apologies for all the sites being Japanese shopping sites..)

There is this automatic（the movement in this is easily identifiable as a Miyota 8000 series) but the compass on the caseback is really cool. https://www.2ndstreet.jp/goods/detail/goodsId/2319370987698/shopsId/30311

And another one here also with also an easy Miyota, but the movement is coloured. https://www.sara-mac.com/watch/paul-smith-masterpiece-psx42-1091.html

and these quartz designs seems classically inspired. (scroll down to see the listed watch) https://item.fril.jp/3911c2f965199184fc4853580722ed7e

Thank you Rob for your reply! The last line was an actual request, as I have already typed in "Paul Smith watches" on Youtube (nothing on the usual watch channels) and many online sites and the result has been very scarce (the result was 0 on this forum) . My post here was a result of me already doing that myself. What you describe was exactly what I myself thought before I knew about their watches. Bog-standard $10 quartz movement fashion watches with funky designs (meh.... ). But once you see a few of their watches, you'll notice that this description does not apply to them. For example I was trying to find out a review video (to find out about the movement inside) about this 600 limited edition automatic watch by them (apparently it's a model within their masterpiece series), but there is nothing. https://aucview.aucfan.com/yahoo/b167567667/

Green gold version of the same watch here as well. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m79807116792

Hello everyone! 
I'm just reviving this post to let everyone know that I am now a proud owner of 2 gorgeous bronze watches. Both from AliExpress! So thank you Robwei and Simonswatch for recommending AliExpress to me! What a wonderful place for watch enthusiasts! I even went and bought the very watch that Simonswatch recommended from Tandorio, with my own name engraved on it!! Here are the photos of my two bronze watches! 

Thank you Robwei for the heads-up! Yes, I know about Bronze oxidation and its patina look! The photo you posted is gorgeous. Which watch is it? 

Thank you Northshore watch about the Glycine watches! Definitely worth a look. If I can find one for around 100 dollars, I will definitely consider it as I'm located in Japan and need to add postage, import tax, etc. The watch looks amazing. Another bronze model to keep in mind! 

Thank you Simonswatch!! Yes, I actually found the Tandorio shop on Aliexpress! They seem to have a lot of affordable Bronze watches. Also, Baltany has a beautiful half-Bronze watch that has caught my eye too.

Now I am spoilt with choices. hahaha. 

Thank you so much Robwei!! 
I will check out the San Martin one! I think I have seen some bronze San Martin ones on some of the YouTube Reviewers' channels. I believe it would be a little more expensive than the Boderry above but probably nicer! Definitely worth checking out! 
I didn't know about Aquatico, and also the bronze Hamilton Khaki. Thank you for letting me know about them!! 
By the way, one reason I was looking for a bronze watch was that when I was in a watch shop this week I saw the copper colored (not real bronze) full-metal G-shock Casiooak that came out last month, and also in the same shop a bronze Maurice Lacroix limited diver watch. Both were beautiful... 
Too many gorgeous watches and not enough money to buy all of them... 
That's why I was looking for an affordable alternative to scratch that itch. Hopefully, I can find one and share its photos here soon! 
Thank you again for your informative reply!!
