The RZE would be at the top of my list.

That titanium looks amazing

@brianwall463 9 месяцев назад

Hey Russ, Awesome review of some lovely micro brand goodness!! Being from Atlantic Canada, I’ll be getting on the Heron website later! Keep up the great work, Happy Christmas and I can’t wait for the Sherwood watch reviews when you upload them. Cheers!!

@DanRC69 9 месяцев назад

That ISOTOPE watch looks stunning, the colours and VERY clear and clean bold design just looks amazing.

@Barbecuejag 9 месяцев назад

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.

@danryan4137 9 месяцев назад

Adore the Maen. I love angry Owl’s.

😮 Jeeeeez... Didn't even know half of these existed! Some real beauties here!.. REALLY tempted by most of these... Thanks Russell.. Thats me skint next year now!😂

@heronwatchco.6870 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feature Russ, we're glad you're enjoying the Marinor. We wish you and your family beautiful holidays!

@Aries0098 12 дней назад

Will be buying a Marinor - Atlantic Blue soon. It may just be the perfect vintage dive watch I'm looking for.

@krvav1 9 месяцев назад

Rze is a great watch. original desig, very durable, interesting colours. i have one and like it. feels like u50 a bit

@rooflessdriver68 9 месяцев назад

Loved the MAEN and would be my choice. Couldn’t help a childish snigger at Duckworth name. Jack & Vera popped up in my head!

@02grak 9 месяцев назад

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.

@michaelkeefer4293 9 месяцев назад

I think my favorite by a narrow margin is the Duckwork Prextex. I also, really like the Heron, Hemel and RZE.

@paulhopkins1905 9 месяцев назад

The RZE reminds me alot of the Oris Pro Pilot X. I really like it

@thelion43 9 месяцев назад

Was the greatest micro brand watch of them all The Spaghetti Scametii lost in the post 😂

@Aries0098 12 дней назад

The Heron is incredible for the price.

@cougarbatterie 9 месяцев назад

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.

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR 9 месяцев назад

I’ve reviewed the Concordia my friend! Loved it! Yema is on the cards very soon!!!!

@cougarbatterie 9 месяцев назад

Sorry, I missed that. I always watch your Casio review because I'm a lover of this brand my friend.@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR

@nsovobaloyi4032 3 месяца назад

The Hemel and Maen are exquisite ..

@jrice644 9 месяцев назад

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!!

@Spongefov 9 месяцев назад

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

@michaelberke9709 9 месяцев назад

Love that Heron….all of them really. Microbrands to consider reviewing: Straton and Jack Mason. Both impressive design and value for money.

@Kaipelana 9 месяцев назад

Wahey! I really liked this one. I want that Heron. And the Duckworth. And the Isotope. Well, all of them really.

@kyleweber9760 9 месяцев назад

That Heron is a stunner....

@GraemeBreiner 9 месяцев назад

That HERON MARINOR is nice!

@johnfrei9057 9 месяцев назад

That’s impressive what Heron did with that scratch resistance.

@markwright2674 9 месяцев назад

Great video - thanks! A lot of fun discovering new brands for me (except for the Maen, which has been on my wish list for a while). Absolutely love the Maen - I do believe it's the Brooklyn 36, however, not 37

@Rivers_RHR 9 месяцев назад

I like the look of the MAEN but not keen on the name! Love the Isotope watches. Will definitely look to get one one day!

@nischalsheodayal 9 месяцев назад

that case on the MAEN...is stunning

@acethis 9 месяцев назад

Love the retro vibes of Isotope - Austin Powers should strap one on his wrist 😂 Another micro brand that I have tried in 2023 and thoroughly impressed - Traska. Their commuter and venturer series oozes Rolex OP vibes but have their own distinct DNA. Anyway, a great episode on micros 👍

@rc7016 9 месяцев назад

Henry Archer and Steinhart are both great watch brands...

@markplayford5836 9 месяцев назад

Do love my micro’s and you picked some belters there. Faves are the RZE the Isotope and the Duckwoth Prestex. 👌

@markgray4029 9 месяцев назад

Maen angry owl 😂😂 should be the official reference 👍

@gunner9010 9 месяцев назад

The Heron looks especially nice. I came across a new Ball watch. The Marinemaster GMT Moon Phase (42mm) with easily movable GMT hand and 2 moon phase complications. I'm pretty tempted on this one.

@goodonthewrist 9 месяцев назад

Geepers creepers Russel… I had to watch the Duckworth Prestex section a few times… the orange and baby blue is something sexy… Great 6 watch set! 🎉

@mdunawaym 9 месяцев назад

I'd love to see a review of Vaer, and Kuoe.

@mtaybar5317 9 месяцев назад

Heron or Hemel for me. If I had to choose between the two then I'd probably go for the Hemel as I already have a diver.

@chrisjackson376 9 месяцев назад

RZE all the way for me, one in the bucket list.

@rodiow369 9 месяцев назад

Wow great review Russ, some very nice choices, just want to say I have an RZE Aspirare and it is one of my favourite watches, I highly recommend RZE, that Isotope looks amazing ! wow

@christrayling1852 9 месяцев назад

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 9 месяцев назад

Hey Chris, thank you for the kind words, Marinor comes from the combination of Mariner and North star, hope it makes more sense now

@christrayling1852 9 месяцев назад

@@heronwatchco.6870 I understand now, that explains the star at the '12' - nice. Many thanks.

'what the wife said' keeps me watching (pun)...and you're brave as she's tough. xlnt.

@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.

@HenriksenDolf 9 месяцев назад

this isotope conquered my soul. Damn I need it…but cannot afford it.

@acp02091 9 месяцев назад

Zelos, Vario, Mr Jones. There are a ton of interesting Micros out there.

@ulig12 9 месяцев назад

@GinkgoJoe 9 месяцев назад

LOL, now I can't unsee it on my other models.

@TheFROG338 9 месяцев назад

@WestCoastAce27 9 месяцев назад

@askari_jones 9 месяцев назад

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.

@mattkinsella9856 9 месяцев назад

The Hemel is my favourite but not being an automatic movement irks me, I dont why exactly but it is a factor that'd hold me back from parting with my money.

@yecora10 9 месяцев назад

@markenlightenment7101 9 месяцев назад

The main issue with microbands is they don't tebd to do lume or movement regulation well. Also its difficult to service them by when there aren't many authorised sealers of then nearby I really don't advise getting a microbrand, especially as you don't have the easy option of reselling then as there isnt much demand for them

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR 9 месяцев назад

The lume on all these watches are done to a high level. All the movements are well known by all watchmakers and are easy to service. There aren’t any bespoke modules added? Just all negativity here from you Mark for no reason??? The resale I agree to a point but if you buy a watch and just think about the resale you’re best buying a necklace instead buddy. Come on!

@markenlightenment7101 9 месяцев назад

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR You're correct that there are exceptions. You can service the movement easily but not the watch case from the actual brand that much. You're also correct that a necklace would be better for investment, but id feel better knowing that I'd save at least 80% of what I paid than 40%. Microbrands might appear cheaper, but they aren't easily sellable unless you lower the price a lot so they are the elephant in the room. Sorry for the negativity, ps I love your content

@GinkgoJoe 9 месяцев назад

I love Hemel designs, and the beauty of the Sea-Gull movement, but always hesitate because of the reliability concerns of the movement. Any thoughts?!

@tiemenstaal 4 месяца назад

RZE puts a $30 Seiko movement in a $500 package? What am I missing?

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR 4 месяца назад

Too many people dismiss the work that goes into making watches that are not off the shelf . Dont just look at the movement buddy, really dig a little deeper and you’ll find worth in these watches . Unique design, materials, assembly, business , ethos, website. You want every band looking like San Martin??

@z06cowboy72 9 месяцев назад

@ryanthomas9306 9 месяцев назад

The mean watch looks like the 38mm Dan Henry

@luke.perkin.inventor 9 месяцев назад

Six beautiful watches indeed. Does anyone know of a GMT where the hand is even more blended in with the dial? You'd have a little floating triangle round the outside, so even less distraction for normal time readability.

@dblh84 9 месяцев назад

My Jack Mason Strat-o-timer (dark knight) fits this description perfectly - beautifully incorporated, subtle GMT hand. I absolutely love mine.

@K0MBIAN 9 месяцев назад

Just one problem with the "as seen on TV" Héron "scratch test". You can clearly see that you're not really using much pressure when "scratching" the spare link. Also, it looks as though the tool is laying flat on the link, as opposed to you really forcing the tip of the tool across the "regular" bracelet...

@hezzy2813 9 месяцев назад

The Heron. Only all I can see now is the star of Bethlehem 😂

@nizarmurar 9 месяцев назад

Great episode. Many thanks. Pls consider reviewing the Italian Venezianico. Many thanks Nizar

@murph8411 8 месяцев назад

Isotope looks ok but I think it’s too expensive for a printed dial and a relatively unknown movement that may be using a Chinese base with a little final work done in Switzerland to bring the value of work done to just over 50% of the movement cost.
