It has to be value in most cases, but nothing particularly ever draws me to micro brands. I look for amazing watches that are durable, stylish, quality and desirable. But that can be any kind of watch, just so happens that there are a few we label as micro brands.
But what makes those good micro brands great is they accessibility to the watch parts inventory and services that only in today's world can allow these companies to at great things. And some of them do and some of them, most of them just don't.
I think of Traska, Baltic, Monta, Lorier and CW, even though I think some of them will transition out of the micro brand territory like CW has done. I feel like for the great ones, micro brand is where they start and eventually they move into major brand category.
One of these pictures is different, I can't but my finger on it because that would be disrespectful, butt it's different. I feel different about it than the rest.
Listen, I own a Traska that is my most worn watch and I'm putting another on reserve tomorrow. But there is no way that Traska wins this vote unless people are not informed or have no idea about either.
Weiss is by far an insanely better watch and the craftsmanship is way different, everything about these two companies and their watches is apples and coconuts.
Weiss wins any day. But Traska is a beast and for the money one of the best watches under $1k
