If it doesn't get a custom designed bracelet... how about an optional module that gives an 'integrated' look and makes the watch appear bigger - something like they did with the Blackbay P01.
I was thinking along similar. Many third party bracelets have a straight end, if the case is designed to be straight between the lugs this would be attractive design. Other than that mesh bracelets seem to work with most dive watches. But the issue here is off the shelf bracelets are steel, either polished or brushed which limits the finish of the compatible case.
Thank you for update. Please make sure the caliber will be minimum 50h. These days this is really important. I would like to see also better, more precise hands. Rest was almost perfect in first generation.
Personally I prefer an accurate, robust and easily/cheaply maintained calibre. The established brands are pushing, promoting longer mainspring storage but hidden in their newer calibres are increasing inaccuracy when storage low, together with more costly servicing charges. I for one can’t see the appeal. If you have two, three, four watches I can just about see the rationale but just one (it’s just about always fully wound) and more then half a dozen one or more will expire before getting to it in rotation.
@@kirkhilton3798 My collection will have 8 watches. Currently have 5 (1 super quartz chrono with 27 jewels, 1 manual wound chrono, and three automatic - two powermatic 80 with 25 jewels - mid tier and one with sellita SW200-1). Having automatic watches with min. 50H power reserve it really helps on daily basis. I don’t mind manual wound watches. They are grab, set and go. If I have unlimited money all my watches it will be manual wound, however I don’t. So I need compromise. ;) One future slot is reserved for Baume and Mercier Baumatic. The other two slots are for microbrands. One diver and second casual or sector dial I guess. Cost service is not that bad, I would said there is no difference between ETA/Sellita/Miyota/Powermatic or any other mass produced caliber. You pay more only for in house movements or chrono movements. I wanted Marloe to create something special. 1st edition Morar was really good. One thing I wasn’t fan are chunky hands, there are too big for this size of watch in my opinion.
@@WparuSlowach the powermatic is impressive but when comes to servicing the calibre/watch have to be sent back to the manufacturer Certina/Hamilton/etc because specialist laser strob equipment is used to regulate the movement and the powermatic doesn’t have the +/- adjustment found on Sellita/ETA/etc so can not easily be worked on by an independent watchmaker, and so will be more expensive to service, I suspect this is part of Smart Groups business plan.
ISO testing is done at production, so retrospectively applying testing and have it be cost effective would be a bit of a challenge! Great idea though :)
Marloe need to physically get out and meet the fans if they, as an online only retailer, are going to survive. Watch fairs and RedBar gatherings are a superb way for the business and fans and potential new customers to meet and greet; there is a RedBar group in most regions in the country and internationally. All microbrands benefit from these events so it's a bit bizarre why there is an apparent reluctance to do so. Fans would love to meet you both and have a literal hands on experience with the models, especially as so many new models are being released. Good luck with the Morar2.
@@MJ-td6nc Thank you for the feedback. We know it, and we're getting better. It's not a reluctance, it's more a conscious decision to use other forms of marketing and growing through those channels, but we get it.
@@MarloeWatchCo Thought that might be the case Gordon, so perhaps a percentage could be tested at production and made available. Personally I think you’re correct most don’t know what “ Diver’s watch” means, those who do think it’s nice to have or have dive computer and many manufacturers apply their own testing standard ignoring iso.
I wasn't a fan of the Morar. It was too small, the bezel design didn't work for me and the hour/minute hands were too chunky and basic. The Sceptre in that regard is better but the hands look like leftovers from the Coniston.
Brilliant overview of me favorite type of timepiece! I learned a lot, cheers mate

Interesting! Will look into it

Thank you gordon. ...i wait for the next step...bye
Thanks for joining!
Just a thought - why not add “iso” testing certification to Morar 2 as an optional extra, then if important to the purchaser they can pay for it?

Here's hoping you are a fan of Morar v2
