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 automatic Miyota movements. The cheaper one doesn’t specify which one, but the more expensive uses the Miyota 9015. Both also have a domed sapphire crystal, though it looks pretty flat in the photos (see below).
As luck would have it, I prefer the spendier option. It’s a bit smaller (40mm/11.4mm vs 42mm/12.4mm) and is more water resistant (10 ATM vs 5 ATM). But otherwise they seem largely the same except for some dial differences and different color options.
Not sure I’ll pull the trigger, but it’s cool that there is a brand so close to home. I do wish the case back was clear…only because I don’t have a watch with that yet.
Here’s the one I like best:
