    This video has introduced me to a number of british watch brands I haven't come across. I would suggest that Christopher Ward should be in the top 2 imo.

    I have a green diver from NIte Watches of England. It's one of my best everyday and travel watches with high lume Tritium. I consider it one of my favorite watches.

    No Bamford? Even Harrods have commissioned 2 special editions from Bamford! Most of the rest you featured are just Swiss movements in a British case. Bremont at least make their own movements now :)

    I would think Accurist would have to be on the list. Growing up in London I remember they sponsored the call in time. Personally I own a Farer, Rotary, Scurfa and an Accurist. I’d love an AnOrdain.

    The Bremont appears initially with the Dent section, and Swiss made appears on several dials ?

    Why is there an Oris 65 @0:33 on the video? If Speake Marin is now based in Geneva then why Rolex isn't on the list?

    10:59 The mispronunciation of guilloche hurts your cred.

    • @megasoid
      @megasoid Год назад +1

      Cred is enhanced by giving us something different instead of the same old brands over and over again. Sounds like an AI generated voice anyway.

    • @WatchesYouAfford
      @WatchesYouAfford  Год назад

      Probably the AI voice would have gotten the pronunciation right :)
      But we're humans, and even though we might make a few mistakes here and there, we try to make every single video as good as possible.

    What, no mention of Struthers!!! BTW Roger Smith comes from Bolton, not the Isle of Mann. He moved there.

    @kingvii7250 10 месяцев назад

    It seems though, that it rely's heavely on the quality work of Swiss. I was waiting for the "Fears watches" to be on the list.

  • @peterlamont1533
    @peterlamont1533 Год назад +2

    Thanks for that list and good descriptions with many I guess most people have never heard of. Your title states "British" which of course leaves out Scotland (Great Britain) though you mention a Glasgow maker. Then you mention the UK at one point which includes Northern Ireland as well as Scotland. One brand you missed is "Marloe" who produce an interesting range using Swiss and Japanese movements. Cheers!

    • @SomeNot
      @SomeNot Год назад +2

      “Britain” does not exclude Scotland. Britain is the name of the big island and includes England, Scotland and wales.

    • @patrickiredale4359
      @patrickiredale4359 Год назад

      Mind numbing music is one of my pet hates. I totally agree! It (mostly) detracts and cheapens RUclipsr’s videos

  • @neilharrison7555

    And how about Duckworth Prestex??? Their finish is second to none.

    some of them watches say swiss made on their dials?

  • @patrickiredale4359
    @patrickiredale4359 Год назад +1

    Why RUclipsrs choose to denigrate their videos with shite backing tracks. Totally counter-productive in my opinion. Ugh! I’m off.

    The background “music” (It’s not really music; it’s garbage) is so irritating that I couldn’t watch the video, even though the subject was interesting to me.

      Hi - What prompts you to say this, please? Schofield exhibited at a couple of watch shows in Brighton and Ireland in September.
