UK Microbrands

Hi Crunchers,

For those of us living in the UK we can probably all agree it can be a bit tricky getting hold of certain watches from American microbrands.

Can anyone reccomend any UK/europe based microbrands? Or Microbrands that you've had a good experience shipping from the US.

Thanks Chrunchers.

Spaguetti Scametti👌

Baltic from France is great in my opinion.

Steinhart and Sternglas from Germany are also worth checking out.

They make really cool stuff. From everything I've read on here, reddit, and other fora, dealing with the company can be a pain at times.

I'd still own one if I get the chance, but just throwing that out there.

Solidyeti's list is good. Farer and C Ward are micro's moving into Indy territory and both are amazing.

A few additions:

Paulin

AnOrdain

Clemence

Fears

(Sidenote: I've never really had trouble buying from any international microbrand, you might get stung with import tax but that's it)

While I live in the US, I have recommended Islander to people living in the UK, as they are shipped there for a flat $15 rate. Also Australia, Canada, and New Zealand are included in that flat shipping rate.

By the volume of responses I got I'm judging that most brands do a good job of shipping internationally, I think theres a minority that dont or charge a fair sum to.

Ah 😂 lucky my kids arent conceived yet then

Also don’t forget that CW, Farer, Fears and Baltic bave showrooms (by apointment) too, if you happen to be near.

I’m sure some of the others may have too (or you can catch them at some of the upcoming shows - Worldtime UK or Watchpro Salon)

I would definitely recommend Farer from UK. Love their cushion case and 3 hand models. They usually have dials which are not to loud but the colors still pop out.
