Armand Nicolet
Has anyone seen/worn/owned an Armand Nicolet watch? From photos and a bit a research it seems the Swiss brand is very solid for the price point, especially grey market. But with that said, there is very little buzz around the brand amongst watch enthusiasts, Youtube channels etc. at least hear in the US, so I'm not sure what to think. Would love to get some thoughts from others who may know a bit more about the brand!

Love em! Big supporter of the brand and you're right that they fly under the radar. Here are a few I've owned 😎👍
Oh and I didn't own these all at once. They have an amazing trade in program so I keep getting a new model every year or so!
They make some very nice pieces. They generally put a lot of work into their dials, so you will find nice details. Build quality is excellent.
I’ve had these for a couple of years now and love them.

All look like great pieces! did you have a favorite of the 5? I'm worried the diver is just a little bit too big at 44mm

Really nice! I'm definitely interested in the moonphase one, MH2? Do you find it a bit too large at 42mm for a dressier watch?
Yeah this is a MH2. My wrist is a bit over 7” and 42mm is one of my favourite sizes.
Because of the polished case it feels a tiny bit smaller, but it still has some presence about it I guess.

This was my fave initially as it gives integrated bracelet, sport watch vibes but then my taste changed to smaller watches (this is 41mm but wears bigger because of the squarish shape)
Now this newest 38mm chronograph is my favourite 😎👍

Both look awesome, definitely drawn to the 38mm chrono the most! Thank you for the info, I'm definitely going to take a closer look at getting one.

Yea the polished case definitely has some pop without being overly gaudy. Thanks for the pics and info!
