Microbrands We Love | Inside My Collection

guy on the right sounds gay af

All these brands are so great! Having met the folks at Lorier and Brew, it makes them even better that they have great people behind them. I also love my Autodromo Group B Night Stage II. That automotive inspiration era was when I was getting into cars as a kid, so it really hits a sweet spot for me.

Thanks guys. I’m a fan of Lorier and it would be great if you could video and post another interview with Lauren and Lorenzo at some point. I’ve had a Neptune for a few years and just added the new Gemini Nero which is on the wrist right now!

I subscribe for email and when I visit I get the insidious pop-up prompting registration. Complete BS since this isn't a bug. Amateur hour? 😉

I was lucky enough to get the copper dial retromatic as well, absurd value for the price!

So many great micro brands. Love Vertex Dirty Dozen watches. Hanhart and Lorier are also fantastic.

You are so right about the Miyota traveller GMT movement making such watches available affordably. I just picked up the excellent Smiths Traveller from Timefactors for £400. The choice will only grow from here. Love that Brew!!

the Brew metric is hands down the most value for money, retro cool looking watch. I would also like to bring your focus to Singapore based micro brand Vario. I have been a fan of their collection

I shouldn't have returned the Worn & Wound x Autodromo Group B I had for a day. A hasty return decision. Additionally, I should have kept my Worn & Wound x Christopher Ward C65 Sandstorm. Let's say my choice to keep may have swayed in its favor had I updated my eyeglass prescription. Anyways..both collab watches had what could be one of your signature color palletes of grays and light blue/teal.

Going back to the Group B. I am waiting for some new colors they are said to release closer towards the end of this year. My favorites are the Night Stage variants. I hope they make more maybe in the next new batch/run.
I used to have a lot of microbrands. Currently, I only have the Serica 5303-1 which I still really enjoy.. dispite the quirky crown action. It's been a pretty solid performer at not much more than +1 s/d and I love the design aesthetics.

Its not a W&W video if there are not at least 2 shirt jackets present.

Why feature models and references that are no longer available? Makes no sense.

Great video and love your watches. I have 6 Autodromo pieces in my collection, including the W&W Prototipo Ltd Ed (and the Hodinkee Group B S4!). Other microbrands in my collection are Farer, Omologato, Zelos, NEZUMI, REC, Mr Jones and Christopher Ward. Unique, individual and quality. I live microbrands!

Just picked up the Addiesdive 'AD2030' Deep Sea Hunter. Fantastic dress watch with Seiko VH31 MechaQuartz movement and GS style dial! Under $100. highly recommend

Great episode, nice to see you two sharing some of your favourites, I have a Baltic Aquascaphe which is very wearable, thanks.

I like AnOrdain, but watches just aren't available...

My Baltic Bronze Aquascaphe has been hard to take off my wrist through beach season

I started colecting watches with the HMS 001 from Baltic and it is still one of my favourites.

Great segment, guys. Appreciate the topic very much.

It kills me that the autodromo doesn't have any group B watches available. It's been teased that they would return summer 2023. ..

Still waiting 🫠

Maybe the title could be: Microbrands that pay!

Love my Helson and Bernhardt watches. First aware of the brands via W&W years ago.

The Brew is Gorgeous... 😮

i cant believe they do not own a Ming watch.. its the king of microbrands a must have

Pls pay attention to Venezianico
