The 24hr dial on the Timex is actually super useful for setting the date! When you're cycling between watches and pick it up to set the time, you never know if it's am or pm - if you have to turn the hands all the way around to get to am or you're good to go with a slight adjustment.
@@IDKline if you know am/pm you know if you are in the safe zone or not and can then set the time and date without spinning the hands past 12. Example: if you want to set for 5pm and the watch says 3 you can use the 24 hour sub dial to know if you need to move 2 hours ahead or 14 hours ahead.
Echo Neutra have some really interesting designs! What a time for micro brands. Maen, Formex, Baltic, Lorca, Lorier, Echo, Farer, frickin CW. Spoilt for choice.
Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
I also found the Maen moonphase to be a standout at Wind Up this year. I only left with one watch, still on my mind from the debut last year, the Lorca Model No. 1.
Wouldn't you like to shop at Albert Villa? I'm all for experimenting but welcome that the Rivenera is 'not goth'. All in the eyes of the beholder though.
I really enjoy the W&W Watch Fairs and talking to all the vendors-- I've been going off and on since 2017. You even recognize a few W&W people walking around. I typically only walk out with watch accessories like straps and cases, I have yet to purchase a watch then and there (I tried with Stowa but they had to special order it).
I'm really liking that Echo Neutra Rivanera! I saw the release but wasn't sold. I kind of am now, it looks great! I'm not sure if it would work with lots of different colored straps the same way a Cartier Tank would, but I like it in monochrome a lot anyway. Thanks for showing it off!
Watch are the ultimate Men's accesories！Enjoyed watching your collection. Keep going！As a watch enthusiast and watch reviewer, I can say MAMACOO this was a great choice. Enjoyed your video!
That misaligned minute track on the Vaer is entirely unacceptable Edit: I was wrong and recognize the makers are aligned. The crime, however, is just terrible design.
Every minute/second marker is aligned, plus every odd space between is divided by four more lines into five smaller intervals. It doesn't make much sense with an 8-tick movement, but it's not a chronograph, so it doesn't matter anyway. The odd spaces are orange, the even spaces are pale yellow, the dashes are white. The white and yellow blend into each other, making the markers seem misaligned.
Thank you for wearing the watch you were discussing. Much appreciated. I don't think the 12 indices is supposed to line up on the Vaer. Timex has been on fire lately. That is a nice looking watch.
@@WatchCrunchOfficial Is the 24 hour subdial independent of the main hour hand? If so, that would be a pretty sweet GMT for the price. If not, it is just a day/night indicator. Nice looking but not as functional.
@MrBacchus18 The Maen is just too close to the mark with those two references. For what it is worth, they aren't the only ones who referenced the Polerouter, but I expected a little more from Maen because I like their other watches.
..... thanks for introducing me to echo neutra ...... never heard of them before ...... not sure about the Rivanera but some of their other watches are wonderful ........
Cool New pickups ! I've been particularly interested in the Echo/Neutra Rivanera. The only thing that might concern me is the crown being hexagonal and it's a manual wind movement. Have you found it to be a difficult crown to manipulate?
The Vaer watch looks great but why would they make the track not line up? Even on their website it shows that it is un aligned. Strange. Now that Maen watch is 🔥🔥🔥
I've been looking for more videos on the Echo Neutra Rivanera after seeing it first time on an italian youtube channel. I liked it so much that I ordered right away! Thank you for showing more of that watch, cant wait to get it in December
I think the Rivanera is truly a great choice. Were it not for the steep price, I probably would have taken the plunge already. It is very refreshing in an understated and almost edgy way, while entirely in keeping with the tank tradition. For the Maen I'm quite convinced it's a good watch, but if I wanted a moon phase, the design of Loresum and Raymond Blanc's petite 35mm gold PVD version call out stronger, bit to mention the unusual Burbidge from Farer. I think there is an interesting tension between very modern bracelet with a rather traditional feeling dial set in a somewhat contrarian case shape. It does seem to be well judged on size, but I'm basically not sure I'd pick it from a lineup in the metal. You did though. The Carer is just really not resonating with me. They have various other watches that would appeal more. The Timex puzzles me a little. It may be a great value piece, but it's also just on a lesser level compared to the others and when you went to a watch fair so must have known you wouldn't be able to get a good fit on the bracelet, I'm not sure why you bought it.
I've been to Windup Chicago and as of last weekend, two Intersects, and now a Minutes+Hours. I picked up an Astor+Banks Fortitude Pro in powder blue last weekend, which I am loving. I highly recommend going to one if you can do it. I flew in for Chicago and have no regrets.
I wouldn't even give the Vaer the time of day with that misaligned minute track. Hate Seiko for the same thing. Other budget brands can get alignment right, don't understand why others can't.
I've been in the watch hobby for decades. It makes me laugh hearing all the "39mm is perfect for a sports watch" comments these days when just a couple years ago that statement would have been made about a 42mm watch.
Yes the waiting times for this model are indeed really long at the moment since we just released this model about a month ago. Once production has finished we aim to have these in stock for direct shipping.
My wife has a 14.75cm wrist. She has a Berny titanium watch with a titanium bracelet. 36mm case diameter. She had the bracelet sized to fit and she loves it.
Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the MAMACOO we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
Funnily enough, MAMACOO's replicas are perfect for people who can actually afford a luxury watch. Because in those social circles, it wouldn't matter and everybody would just assume it's real. You have a yacht and a beach house in Tuscany, of course that replica is real. There isn't a millionaire out there going around with a jeweller's loupe to scrutinize their acquaintance's watch. They'll just go "Oh is that a Patek? Nice, I should really get my hands on one of those, they look great."
Been to the San Fran one and was underwhelming. Made me question why people are into watches, on the analog side, especially automatics they are all the same in my view, and even then I could not find a white dial with Arabic numerals filed style, day/date, drilled lugs with jubilee bracelet! oh and realized lume is just shit, nothing beats Casio's twist wrist to light up, or a timer!

The only use I have for a 24 hour subdial is for setting the watch. I hate a quartz chronograph with that subdial even though I do have a couple.

I came back to this video to ler you know I bought the Rivanera. It’s amazing. What a beauty!
That Rivivenieranara is gorgeous! Great selections!
Echo Neutra has been on my radar since it was established, and this Rivanera might be my first purchase from the brand. Unique, beautiful, and classy.
Echo Neutra have some really interesting designs! What a time for micro brands. Maen, Formex, Baltic, Lorca, Lorier, Echo, Farer, frickin CW. Spoilt for choice.

That Rivanera is gorgeous, super goth. I'd love to see a stained glass style dial on it.
Wow that would be cool !
Wouldn't you like to shop at Albert Villa? I'm all for experimenting but welcome that the Rivenera is 'not goth'. All in the eyes of the beholder though.
Nice to see how your followers increased...I started following when you had about 12000 or less.Keep it up pal!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I’ve already got that echo/neutra on order 🙌🏻
That Maen looks fantastic!
Love the MAEN & TIMEX. Absolute beautiful time pieces
I really enjoy the W&W Watch Fairs and talking to all the vendors-- I've been going off and on since 2017. You even recognize a few W&W people walking around.

That tank is pretty awesome
The echo neutra is a great pick.
I would love to see a stand alone review for the Echo Neutra. Such a nice watch
I'm really liking that Echo Neutra Rivanera! I saw the release but wasn't sold. I kind of am now, it looks great! I'm not sure if it would work with lots of different colored straps the same way a Cartier Tank would, but I like it in monochrome a lot anyway. Thanks for showing it off!
The Maen and the Echo fit my style. 👍
that Rivanera is litttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
You're a brave man to buy so many watches at once. When did you get divorced?
😂
I chuckled as I read this. Then I looked down at my G-shock collection wondering where all the other watches went :)
hahaha 😂😂😂
I've been checking out the Maen Manhattan closely, might have to pull the trigger. Timex is killing it too I like many Waterbury, Q, and Marlin models
Watch are the ultimate Men's accesories！Enjoyed watching your collection. Keep going！As a watch enthusiast and watch reviewer, I can say MAMACOO this was a great choice. Enjoyed your video!
I remember seeing the echo/neutra watch a couple of weeks ago on some blog and thought that model specifically looked cool. Almost like an e-ink dial.
Yes that's a good description
Why did you go for the Grey Rivanera over the Black? Was it for legibility?
Exactly!
The grey variant is sexier, by far.

That misaligned minute track on the Vaer is entirely unacceptable
Edit: I was wrong and recognize the makers are aligned. The crime, however, is just terrible design.
It's not misaligned, it's part of the design, if you look closely at 12 👍

It doesn't make much sense with an 8-tick movement, but it's not a chronograph, so it doesn't matter anyway. The odd spaces are orange, the even spaces are pale yellow, the dashes are white.

Thanks for pointing it out
Horrible design!
The bracelet on the maen watch is increbile.
Maen seems to punch above its weight in terms of finishing and value. I may have to pick one up one of these days.
damn, that Rivanera is too cool
Thank you for wearing the watch you were discussing. Much appreciated.
I don't think the 12 indices is supposed to line up on the Vaer.
Timex has been on fire lately. That is a nice looking watch.
The Timex 24 hours sub-dial can be used as a GMT.
Good call
@@WatchCrunchOfficial Is the 24 hour subdial independent of the main hour hand? If so, that would be a pretty sweet GMT for the price. If not, it is just a day/night indicator. Nice looking but not as functional.
that small square watch is amazing, I have a Cartier so don't need another one but this is really nice, might pick it up
Goth Cartier!
The Maen is just a mix of the Polerouter and Raymond Weil Milliseme Moon Phase. Nice bracelet, though.
Almost every watch is gonna be a derivative of what came before. I don't really deduct points unless it is straight homage.
@MrBacchus18 The Maen is just too close to the mark with those two references. For what it is worth, they aren't the only ones who referenced the Polerouter, but I expected a little more from Maen because I like their other watches.

24-hour dials are super useful for people who have to work in or work with other countries. Many other countries only use 24-hour time for everything.
Cool New pickups ! I've been particularly interested in the Echo/Neutra Rivanera. The only thing that might concern me is the crown being hexagonal and it's a manual wind movement. Have you found it to be a difficult crown to manipulate?
I'm not into luxury watches. Your choice in these micro Brands is absolutely spectacular.
I tried that maen on and i promised myself it will be in my collection within a year
I’ve had my eye on that Timex for a while, but on a strap
Maen should be pronounced as Maan (as in Naan bread with an M)
6:32 The bracelet is one of the reasons I don't like TIMEX. Your favorite Marlin chronograph is also guilty.
What a sweet haul 👍🏻
0:06 I need to know what colourful watch is the man on the left wearing….. 🔥😭 been searching on google and I couldn’t find one
The Vaer watch looks great but why would they make the track not line up? Even on their website it shows that it is un aligned. Strange. Now that Maen watch is 🔥🔥🔥
the e/n reminds me of the pebble watch
That Maen braclet looks great.
I feel like the Maen would also look good if it got a small seconds above the Moonphase … Would like to see it out of curiosity
I've been looking for more videos on the Echo Neutra Rivanera after seeing it first time on an italian youtube channel. I liked it so much that I ordered right away! Thank you for showing more of that watch, cant wait to get it in December
I have to say that MAMACOO 's watches are amazing!
the movement actually is not SW-200 but a SW-280, which is the SW-200 with the moonphase complication added on!
Nice catch!
Good stuff. The date window on that Timex though…
The lugs on that Maen are really aweful. Huge, wide protruding eye sores just ruin the whole watch.
Couldn’t agree more

We need that Nodus collaboration release date, Max. Great video as usual!
They need to come to Vegas
Good video, then watch crunch
You have outdone yourself 🎉
Toronto was my first. I definitely want to go to others in other countries. I’m several hours of flying from anywhere so lots of choice….
They are great fun ☺️
I wouldn't even give the Vaer the time of day with that misaligned minute track. Hate Seiko for the same thing. Other budget brands can get alignment right, don't understand why others can't.
anyone know what the colorful watch at :05 was?
Wasn’t so long ago that the Marlin was $199. Not sure why it’s that much more expensive now other than inflation. Quality still not there.
Why do you say the vowels don't belong together in Maen, but seem perfectly ok with the vowels in Vaer?
Going to my first watch show in Austin, Texas. November 16-17, 2024.
Brace yourself 😉
For me, all of these watches would look better without the brand name on the dial.. just a classy timeless logo - especially the last one.
I've been in the watch hobby for decades. It makes me laugh hearing all the "39mm is perfect for a sports watch" comments these days when just a couple years ago that statement would have been made about a 42mm watch.
Errr? Prices really only of the last watch
Ja mee eens - dat laatste model is een mooie avant garde toevoeging
That Maen is sensational! But the idea of paying and then waiting for more than a half year for the watch to be delivered is just ridiculous.
Yes the waiting times for this model are indeed really long at the moment since we just released this model about a month ago. Once production has finished we aim to have these in stock for direct shipping.
Nice watches ❤
The Maen looka nice but those lugs seem just too big/brutalist for the case design
Maen's head is beautiful. Maen's bracelet is gorgeous. The difference in finish between the two makes for a very poor mariage...
Does LA ever have these??
Yes, look into intersect watch shows!
@ yes thank you!
What's the jacket name please :D
North face
@@WatchCrunchOfficial yeh I know but what's he model number :P
Being a woman with a 16cm wrist I like a well articulated bracelet or a Milanese. Otherwise it’s too clunky.
My wife has a 14.75cm wrist.
She has a Berny titanium watch with a titanium bracelet. 36mm case diameter. She had the bracelet sized to fit and she loves it.
The one thing I have to say about that maen are those lugs are not for me…
Max, WHERE'S my FREE PROMISED STRAP?????? FRÉDÉRIC FROM PARIS FRANCE
I like what Vaer is doing. The Maen is really nice to look at, but wouldn't work with my lifestyle. Maen and CW are my favorite microbrands.
They are really going places!
Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
Rats! I missed you in NYC!
Next year!
The Maen is just too rigid in its aesthetics it’s a shame that salmon dial could have been a winner
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the MAMACOO we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
"Watch nerds like you and ME" not "I"...(pet peeve of mine)
Correcting grammar when it doesn't actually matter (pet peeve of nearly everyone else)
Watch fairs and your wallet together are definitely not your friends!
😂😂😂
Would have loved to hear your experience at the watch fair, and if you would go to another watch fair.
Bro, be real here. Are you having a contract with Maen?
We are in touch 😉

Vaer is FUGLY, others ok
Dude has good taste. You can't teach height or desire or taste. Either you have it or you don't.
It appears that you are pro cheap watches, and omegas.
Timex is on top of it😮
"Came out of THE left field" is strange...Out of Left Field, is the idiom.
