Pick your 3+1 “Micro” brand collection!
With some great new releases, and just a fun thing to do, let’s build our current dream collection of “micro” brands!
Rules:
-Micro loosely defined as web based brand without big distribution, independently owned, most watches under 3k
-Driver, Diver, Flyer + 1 (wild card). Interpret that how you like
-$7500 for the entire budget
-Currently/recently available (2023 onwards). Pre-orders are fairgame.
-Feel free to make up your own rules for your own collection!
I’ll start with:
Mean Skymaster: https://www.maenwatches.com/products/skymaster-38-mcr-04
Serica GMT, with lefty crown: https://www.serica-watches.com/en/product/8315-1-gmt-chronometer/
Dietrich SD-1 Green: https://www.gnomonwatches.com/collections/dietrich/products/sd-1-tropic-green-gnomon-exclusive
(Borderline on my own rules, but it is available!)
Zentier Z5 Burgundy:https://zentier.com/collections/z5/products/z5-ultra-thin
All in at around $6k.
Let’s see what everyone else has got!
Musician by training and trade. Into watches since I was very young, and got into studying them more around 2010 (?).
I would probably build a collection around Alexander Shorokhoff, I recently discovered him myself, not sure if you could define it as a microbrand but he isn't super expensive and his watches are released in a small line up and Ming + Slovakian brand Biatec

I thought about the new CW Sealander GMT. It would be easy to do a whole CW collection.
