In the context of all these brand re-launches, I think it's worth having a dialogue on buying new vs. vintage. Buying vintage isn't as scary as it's often made out to be. If you're looking for a vintage look, why not just buy the OG?
Excelsior Park didn't just make watches, they were a high end movement manufacturer, supplier to Zenith, Gallet and Girard-Perregaux, among others. This new brand carries on in name only.
True, and sadly also true of the likes of Longines and other Swiss brands that stopped making their own movements and have either changed hands and/or been revived since their post-war glory days.
@@borassictime918 If you're really interested in a watch like this, you ought to have a look into the vintage market. Good used examples aren't always hugely expensive, and original EP movements are incomparably better than these new ones, which IMHO aren't really very interesting at all. IMHO, the same applies to most of the recently relaunched brands, like Nivada and Zodiac.

fantastic sizing, and the watch looks great. But 2K isn't really "affordable" for me, sadly.
What is the reasoning for black chronograph seconds hand? I prefer a digital quartz chronograph to mechanical.
Did I understand right?? landeron, nivada, and EP are owned by the same group? Could you provide more information?
Really enjoying the channel. Its become a firm favourite ! Always great reviews and content
