Post by jewels » 28 Aug 2013 12:12

Guys, I'm conducting a survey on behalf of my friend and wants to know what sorta micro watch brands would you hope that a local shop will bring in?
Kindly leave down the brand and links if possible and why.

Feel free to school me or my friend on anything yea?

Cheers all!

Stowa, had a few micro brands but few can beat them for price/quality at their price point.

Jorg Schaeur, another brand by the same owner as Stowa, very well made cases and unique designs

Dornbluth & Sohn, the engraving/finishing done on their movements are very impressive for their price point.

I find too many microbrands being too generic these days with contract manufactured cases and designs that hardly separate one from another.

I agree on that. Personally, I'm very much inclined towards diving watches. Brands like Helson, Halios, Magrette(bronze cases :D ) etc appeals to me so much. I hate those brands that uses an OEM case and just stamp their own branding like UHR. Just my $.02.

I like Halios's designs, they are unique and not as "inspired" as Helson or Magrette are.

I think im sinking my own sales post with this (since im selling a Helson at the moment :lol: ) but I am not impress at the quality for their price point, in fact very disappointed.

Look into H20 as well, their Orca seems very interesting

Steinhart beater.. TS, suggest don't bring this brand in. Or rubbish like uhr. Looking at the resale prospect, it is basically zero.

I personally like halios. At least they got original designs and keep their value.
