First off, full story below. But I figured I would mention this brand to people. This is a small micro called Celeste, based in Oregon, started by Celeste (big shocker there) that specializes in handmade dials. They do mostly quartz, but they also do automatic (STP movements) and mainly use...

For sale is a brand-new, unopened Kurono Tokyo 2nd anniversary 'Toki' edition. Pictured below is an image of the actual box containing the watch and all papers and extras still unopened. This makes for a very satisfying unboxing experience and is proof that the watch is undeniably brand-new and...

2022-23 has been a banner season for affordable GMTs, with this new Miyota mvt with traveler functionally the most exciting development, IMO. I'm trying to decide between the Traska Venturer or Jack Mason Strat-o-timer. Great specs/value for both. $695 for the Traska, $999 for the JM. Opinions...

Another dive watch for the dive watch hater? Well, not really. I mean, look at it. Does it look legible at depth? So how did this come about? Well . . . It actually started with @Finnish Joe and his thread. I go in there every now and then to see the 6578136916567th Scandi watch brand...

Great watch purchased from the Helson website in July 2020; ETA serviced last month! This has the original - and quick adjustable - bracelet clasp. The newer model listed on their website doesn't offer this option but everything else appears the same. You can see the specs here: Helson Watch...

Hi guys, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I just received a super inspiring mail from a customer. The mail got me thinking on how lucky I and many other micro brand owners are. I would like to send all you ppl that at any point in time have supported a micro brand a huge thank you. I...

For sale: Albany AMA Black Pearl dial. I absolutely adore this watch, but it has never been comfortable on my wrist sadly. I've held on to it for about two years but I'm ready to cut it loose to someone who can wear it more comfortably than me. I want to say only 500 of the Black Pearl dials...

Selling because I'm just not bonding with it. I purchased this beautiful Direnzo Mondial V2 directly from Direnzo in June 2022 and was shipped to me in September 2022. It is in mint condition. You will also get the full kit - both black and white rubber straps (which are super supple and...

A Facebook ad showed me a Canadian micro brand just about 45 minutes away from my house called Locke & King. They only have two watches so far, but I like what I’m seeing. And the prices aren’t crazy. One is $500 CDN and the other is $700 ($365 and $511 USD with our lousy dollar). Both have...

Selling my AJWAIN Sholavaram Pulse Chrono. This is in BNIB, unworn condition. Stickers still on. This is a limited edition of 300 units and will not be made again. AJWAIN is an Indian microbrand and they make some of the best watches for the price. This one is no exception, looks and feels very...

So which sounds more WIS? Two watches in one day? Three watches in three days? Or four watches in a week? For those who don't know, here's the last 7 days . . . https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/this-just-in-citizen-the-citizen-aq4100-22e-winter-serenity.5434400/...

Fam, I've had this watch now for a few weeks and it surpassed expectation. I can't speak to the fit and finish of similar-priced watches, but this thing is flawless. There isn't a single detail I don't like and it's obvious they put considerable time in the design. The taper on the bracelet is...

If James Bond was limited to wearing a watch from only micro brands, what watch do you think it would be? It can be any micro brand watch at any price.. Post pics of the watch if possible please!

So as you all know I'm all for staid and basic designs :p so I decided to go for something different. I've always been interested in MJW watches, and it's obvious that they are run by people who know and love watches despite what their bread and butter are (one only needs to look at the 30CH on...

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about getting a watch from a micro brand, but I honestly have no idea which is better in terms of value for money. I'd like a diver but the main thing is that I'm on a budget (200euros, can fluctuate a bit but not too much) so I don't even know if it's possible to get...

Apologies if this question has been asked already, but I've been looking at this brand and their P-104 for a while, I think its amazing despite not having seen it in person! I'm pretty keen to get it when I graduate... Any thoughts from you guys?

So, I'm very much new to the world of horology. I know what I like and what looks good to me, but I have NO idea how wristwatches actually work, and as such, I've turned to making an account on this forum and asking a bunch of strangers on the internet for guidance and/or wisdom. (This should go...
