Micro Brands
Thanks to this group I am now looking into micro brands. I will be definitely acquiring the JackMason WC edition GMT. And am now on the lookout for great micro brands. craftsmanship and wow factor are my criteria. Any suggestions ? Brand and Model please. Thanks !

Unimatic, Farer and Baltic are all well worth a look (can't say specific models as they all have a wide range). I own a Serica which I adore on a design level but there is a QC issue that prevents me from recommending wholeheartedly (winding stem problem).
Lorier, Vaer, Bertucci, Scurfa, Traska, Boldr, Helm, Nodus, Straton, Signum, NTH, Aevig, Borealis, Draken, Hemel, Orion, Direnzo, Second Hour, Spinnaker, Aragon, Escapement Time
There should be something among these that you will love. If not there're plenty more. Cheers and best of luck to you!
That's a great pick! High demand for that model. GMTs have become so popular.
Enjoy the watch!
Cheers!
Oh my .. opened up a rabbit hole .. some brands Ive never heard of.
oh man the list are too long for great microbrand. i'll try tp give some random example:
limawatch mecha revolt
vario versa
brew retrograph
traska commuter
lorier gemini
smiths everest
farer lander
Love that reverse panda
Also very into microbrands I’m just going to show the favourites in my collection:
Echo/Neutra Averau Big Moon Field Watch
A new brand for me they also have some really nice looking divers, but these Italian designed Swiss made watches are great.
Clemence Watches Photic Diver
My favourite dive watch and my most worn watch. Just now they’re only doing these beautiful divers in a range of colours but they’re talking about coming out with some field watches this year.
Borealus Sintra
I like this watch so much I’ve pre-ordered their dive gmt that’s coming in April. A beautiful watch with cool lume.
E. C. Andersson Calypso II
This one’s interesting as they will just make 170 watches in each line, I’d recommend signing up to their newsletter so you can see what they do. Their normally interesting and unusual pieces.
Hope that helps.
Those dials are fire !!!
Also look into Studio Underd0g. Their pieces pop. Van Banner is great, too. There're so many. LOL
