    They are a first class couple,it’s a first class brand and my Neptune V2 Gilt is my daily wearer. My overall experience with Lorier has been top notch. I wish them nothing but success.

    This has to be the first video EVER of its kind. To get into the heart and mind of a watchmaker is a treat for anyone. There is both business savvy and creative bliss going on this video. Lauren and Lorenzo are the most perfect pair the earth has ever seen! Seriously! Lauren used the word "swagger" and Lorenzo is completely rockin' the pose with the "wrist shot"!

      Take Time, w/Patrick Marlett has interview them as well as the guys from Nodus with the same insight, I think you'll enjoy them.

    These two are a wonderful class act! A breath of authenticity and niceness in a world of fast-talking charlatans who use idiotic buzzphrases like “cutting out the middleman”, “affordable luxury” and “disrupting the market” while they subject us to mickey-mouse images of supposedly high-end design processes from the white walls of their We-work type studios.
    These two did nothing of the sort. They spoke nicely, about nostalgia to promote what looks like a great product line. For that, they have my respect, admiration and encouragement, and in this coming week, they will probably have a few of my dollars for a Neptune S3, as soon as I can get a free moment. We need more of this type of entrepreneurship. Bravo, and kudos for the interview.

      Well, for me Christopher Ward is doing a great job on those ’buzzphrases’,
      But here, Lorier is definitely NOT going to that path.
      It doesn’t mean that I can’t have both in my collection. 😉

    I remember asking them about 1 1/2 years ago for a GMT and they said they were working on it

    Awesome watch and the Lorier founders seem like great people. IMHO, stay away from the limited edition game. Cheers

    What an engaging and talented couple and such a wonderful interview. I found their watches by accident and totally enjoyed their website ethos and then after looking at their watches I was hooked.The quality, the price point and their vision is awesome.

  • @thisplayer01

    I have just received my 1st Lorier, a Hyperion and I fell in love, it's great! But now I do realize, that most models are sold out now, which is really sad...

  • @VMIyanks04
    @VMIyanks04 Год назад +1

    Great interview! I love their explanation of their vision, plucking a vintage watch out from another time period and being able to actually wear it today without babying it! Kudos! Can’t wait for the Astra to come back in stock! I’m a space cadet at heart!

  • @juniorjohnson5961
    @juniorjohnson5961 3 года назад +3

    Totally agree about the price point ,Most people who are not watch Collector or watch enthusiast $500 is a lot of money !

  • @HaiNguyen-mj5pd

    Love this couple, so down to earth. Makes great watches for everyone. Having own two of their watches, the Astro and Hydra. Love the old school design as aspect as well functionality for all occasions.

    Gorgeous watch. Any Coke bezel coming in soon? It would look incredible with that gilt.

    10:30 ish about the price. Hahahah. He kept digging and she saved him 🤣. "We basically chose the price because we didn't want to make it too cheap even though we could sell it much cheaper" "no darling we are happy we are able to provide a quality item at that price" 🤣🤣

    • @peterkarahalios3488
      @peterkarahalios3488 3 года назад +1

      He brings “debonnaire” while she brings muscle and brains. LOL. And it all works, plus they look like wonderful people. The whole thing makes for a wonderful experience :)

    Fantastic company and even better watches....I’m a huge fan. I’ve got the Hydra and the Neptune, I’ll definitely pick one of these up!

    Vintage 50’-60’ watch for small wrist. Nice, clean, versatile and thin.
    They tick all the boxes for me and my small wrist. 😅
    Now, I’ve got stop myself from buying all their watches. 😬🤦‍♂️
    For vintage designs at this price range, Lorier and Baltic are definitely my favorite brands. 💯👍😎

  • @cedarcanoe
    @cedarcanoe 3 года назад +1

    I haven’t really been following their releases since their first diver because I have the Yema and that basicly is a very similar watch. But boi was I happy I saw this video and discovered what they achieved so quickly. Definitely worth looking into. I love that Hydra by the way.

    Great designs! Prefer Lorier to Baltic, the next closest competitor.
    That blue new version Hydra super-compressor is on point!

      Want one so so bad. Despite having an easier access to a gmt and my use case of one very serious

    • @oOoScarecrow31oOo
      @oOoScarecrow31oOo 2 года назад

      I like them both as it’s not the same design style.
      Baltic is more vintage 40’ design style.

    Got the falcon 3 a few months ago. It really feels like a new vintage watch. Love the 36mm, acrylic crystal and slim case line which reminds me more of a manual wind instead of an automatic. I like to rotate my watches during the week but find I wear the falcon at least 3 times a week and swap out my daily from work the other 2 days for the falcon when I get home.

    Love the ethos and democratic approach to their brand. I’m currently on a watch buying hiatus, but will hopefully be revisiting Lorier in the New Year. The Neptune is one of my watches that brings real joy!

    I love the Rolex Explorer, but $$$, so I started looking at homages, but I don't want a homage. I saw a video by TGV and he looked at the Falcon from Lorier. It's an original design with inspiration from other brands and models (Explorer, Railmaster etc), a beautiful watch. It's on my gotta buy list.

  • @iain772
    @iain772 Год назад +1

    i wonder now after the NH34 and (maybe) Miyota 9075 have been released if there is a consideration to swap now. It would trim the price for sure and the Miyota 90S5 is part of the Neptune and Falcon. Either way theyre a win, cant wait to get my Neptune in March

    I just think the GMT should have been 40 mm. Or 41. For my big wrist 39 may be a bit small

  • @HAL-xy3om
    @HAL-xy3om 2 года назад +1

    These guys clearly are tired, 2 years on and only 2 models for sale on their website, have they given up? It's a real shame, their watches were great!
