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

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

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

@stu632 6 ай бұрын

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

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

@zigzaguzzi2665 6 ай бұрын

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.

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.

@02grak 6 ай бұрын

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.

@cougarbatterie 6 ай бұрын

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.

Hemel had big problems with the fully lumed version and were not happy with the quality control process . They ended up paying everyone back. Shame as it looked a great watch. But he was very up front with keeping us all in the know,so big up Hemel 👍🏻

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.

@dblh84 6 ай бұрын

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.
