    The RZE is the one for me. Every time I've reviewed one from them, it's left me wanting to buy it.

      I can attest Isotope makes some great watches. I have 4 of Jose's models and had the pleasure to meet him at the NYC Wind Up Watch Fair. A class act.

    what was really nice about the iscotop watch, was noticing that the indentations on the screw in caseback weren't just circles, but cutouts of the iscotope logo - subtle detail but functional as well

  • @stu632
    @stu632 9 месяцев назад +6

    Great stuff Russ!
    Heron Marinor - Everything about it, the logo, look of quality and scratch resistance - 8/10
    Hemel - Amazing, let it glow, let it glow, let it glow - 8.5/10
    RZE - I like it, similar to the Erebus, lot of dial space, but all round great and on the fly micro - 8/10
    Duckworth - Very nice, gives me Farer vibes - 8/10
    Isotope - I like it but the seconds hand is a bit off, shape and colour doesn't match the dial, I'd prefer different colours - 7.5/10
    Maen - Stylish and sophisticated, this brand is doing great things - 8.5/10

    Hello, and thanks for this video. Micro brands from Québec, USA, Sweden, Singapour, England, Swiss ... this vid was a great journey. I especially liked the Héron and the Duckworth Prestex. About this last brand, do you know which year it was born?

  • @jrice644
    @jrice644 9 месяцев назад +1

    Been following Duckworth Prestex for a while. If they made a smaller watch with the same spec. I think it would fly off the shelves!!

  • @zigzaguzzi2665
    @zigzaguzzi2665 9 месяцев назад +2

    Two amazing microbrand you should (could?) review are echo/neutra: Italian made with swiss movement. Amazing products with amazing quality. I got the Cortina chronograph and it is just fantastic. The other is Dan Henry. I know some people are complaining about them "copying" some models but MAN they are doing sooo nice watches. I got the 1975 model and it is gorgeous! They took the real deal to normal people. 300 usd for amazing watches. You can even choose smaller diameters also (finally!!). They even have a warehouse in Europe so we can spare those customs taxes! The 1972 "maverick" model is sick!! Seriously I am in love with this brand.

    I'm offended Russ! As a Frenchmen, you did not review not one french micro brands 😢. You have to checkout "Charlie Paris" with the Concordia model. You have "Lip" that have excellent diver watches and finally checkout "Beaubleu" with their circular hands. Last but not least is "Yema" with their iconic chronograph watches. Scour more my friend. Cheers mate and my holiday greetings to everyone.

    I have been dailying the Brooklyn for 3 months since I got it. It is by far the best watch I've owned. The dimensions are prime, it wears so well you forget its there, and the dial spared no bit of attention to detail. Oddly enough, it is marketed as a sport watch by Maen but it is sportable in pretty much any situation.

    Have to say I’m a huge fan of MAEN Watches especially the Manhattan 37 and now the Brooklyn after watching this, a Lot of watch for the money especially now with the Sellita SW200-1 movement upgrade option, only thing putting me off pulling the trigger on a salmon dial date is the import side

    Love seeing the RZE one in here. I am a absolute huge fan of their watches, I have 3 different ones from them. Im a sucker for anything titanium and them having some great ones made in Ti for pretty good prices just hits several marks for me. My favorite is the ascentus GMT, I got the new bracelet with the on-the-fly micro adjustment on it and it made it even higher on my list of watches. Wear it at least 2-3 days out of every week.

    A really excellent show (watched it a second time on the big TV in the living room when the wife was out). A very, very nice selection. I take it back by the way regarding the Heron it is seriously pretty and I love the picture of Popeye on the caseback.

  • @dblh84
    @dblh84 9 месяцев назад +1

    Man, Jack Mason's fantastic Strat-o-timer gets absolutely no love from any channels; it's a shame because it's an amazing, high quality luxury timepiece. I've owned my Dark Knight (Batgirl) on its fantastic seven link jubilee for a few months and absolutely love it. It's got a 9075 inside, sapphire front and back, 200m and regulated to +/- 5spd. It's an homage to the GMT MASTER II but has its own design language - cushion case, no crown guards and a very vintage vibe. If you love the GMT MASTER II and want something inspired by it yet has its own unique look, check it out - you won't regret it.

    Love the Lorier (currently on my wish list). RZE make great watches. Love MAEN as well. I quite like the Heron although I'm not sure why it's got the name 'Marinor' on the dial and an image of a Mariner on the back? - did the Chinese do the spelling? (I can't really criticise, I often wear my Guanqin 'Cheronometer' 😉). Great video Russ - I wish Hamtun were still in business, I feel they would've made your microbrand list.

    • @heronwatchco.6870

  • @gordtulk
    @gordtulk 9 месяцев назад

    There are several true gmts that have a quick set date (sellita movement?)
    And I think a true - adjustable hour GMT is a traveller GMT.
    One that lacks that functionality is known as a desk GMT.
    Great content as always.
