The Serica 4512 with the California dial made go "OMG I want that".

I love field watches, so I give this to Vaer. I wish Vaer and Baltic weren't up against each other though. Feels like 2 possible champs are fighting in the early brackets.

Boldr for the variety of watches the build. They get extra points for having a 40mm diver.

To me a microbrand should hit that sweet spot of design, specs, finishing, price. Ming is undeniably beautiful, but the price of the only watch they currently sell is $30k, which means it is something I could never own. Because of that, I vote Norqain. I want to vote for a watch I could actually acquire.

If only Lorier would actually have watches to sell.

Gotta give it to Straton. While the Paulin + anOrdain collab is gorgeous, Paulin only makes 1 other watch style. Straton's not my cup of tea, but at least they have more variety and they are trying some unique case designs.

commented on Micro Tournament Round 1 Day 5: AnOrdain Vs. Behrens ·

I am grateful for a reason to learn about watch microbrands that others like @AllTheWatches have already vetted for being of good quality and provenance. Who wins almost doesn't matter. The fun of voting makes me research these new to me watch brands =).
