San Martin have launched a new watch brand and released the first new watch! The War Drum is what it's called and the brand is Jianghun. These watches are not available on AliExpress only their dedicated website.

WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use KZfaqs lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and KZfaq deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.
HERE ARE SOME MORE USEFUL LINKS!

this one has grown on me, from seeing it the other day on your second channel - i really like the flow of the lume markings on the dial and i've no problem with that idiosyncratic hour hand which while not to everyone's taste, is very much in keeping with the rest of the piece i also enjoy the shape of that 'war drum', making it quite the solid big statement, even the lugs pairing well with the design language of it all: the onion crown is complimentary to it as well - as anything else would get lost on the larger body
@ChristyOFaghan

checking the specs it really does seem designed more for their domestic market as despite the size of the drum, the strap only fits up to 19cm - seems a bit of an oversight if they're wanting to sell internationally

Stylistically, it's not really my thing but I do love a lot of things about it. I like that they are wearing their Chinese roots on their sleeve. I like how well built it looks. I actually really like that hour hand. I could see myself owning a watch by these folks. If they did something with these signature elements, but without the old timey crown and the GMT-like bezel, (unless it was a GMT, natch) I could see myself going for one.

Always admired NH movements (bang for buck) and Seiko for sharing them with cheaper higher spec'd competitors. Although I've yet to try a Miyota 8 or 9000 movement I know they are slimmer so wonder if StMartin and this new brand should be looking to include them to allow slimmer design options..

I also enjoy your more casual style videos. As to the watch, while I don't like it, I also don't hate it. I think there are too many "strong" design elements - the case, the dial, the hour hand, the crown, the strap are all very bold. If they show a little restraint in future models, they will hone in on designs with more mass appeal (assuming that is what they want). For example, if they had put that dial in an otherwise more traditional watch, I think people would (in general) be much more positive about it.

I agree the branding is not the best for the world market. Watch is very interesting and looks high quality, but the name sounds more inline with a $125 to $175 watch. Build the brand name with reduced pricing. I would like this watch from an unknown brand but not at this price. Nice review.

I think it's exactly the right move. People always said San Martin had great quality but they had no original designs and a strange brand that couldn't hide the fact they were "just a Chinese Aliexpress manufacturer". If they made anythin less eccentric, people would said it looked like some other watch. Well, this is definitely original, high quality, unapologetically Chinese and not an Aliexpress brand. Too bad they had to design it that weird cause it just doesn't look great.

Da possessore di San Martin ( ne ho 3 ma, acquistati 4 in pochi mesi) sono assolutamente favorevole alla produzione di orologi che si discostino nettamente dagli homage. Apprezzo la qualità che mettono nelle loro produzioni ed hanno guadagnato la mia fiducia a tal punto che se produrranno un modello originale con le caratteristiche che mi piacciono e con calibri più sofisticati di nh34/35/36/38 tranquillamente sarei disponibile a spendere qualcosa in più di quanto mediamente attualmente spendo per un San Martin.

At least they're being honest and sticking to their cultural roots without embarrassment. The trouble is that even the most worthy designer or artist will be tainted with the brush ' Oh, it's Chinese..' which is unfair. A generation of cheap goods with a not very good reputation has come at a price for the good guys. Fair play to them. Not fond of the crown on this, but hey, hope they keep at it.

1. Love the “stream-of-consciousness-style review. It feels like a conversation with a fellow watch-nerd. ❤ 2. Love San Martin branching out into a micro-brand with a true focus on original designs. 3. The watch quality seems AMAZING; textured sandwich dial, awesome lume, beautiful case finishing, gorgeous leather strap. 4. The branding is a little unusual and (IMHO) a bit off-putting. Not digging it… 5. The. Watch. Is. UGLY. Deal breaker. Love the good work, Gary!

Good review! I agree with all of your points. I was excited to hear that San Martin was launching a micro brand. The name is weird. However, it is not a dealbreaker. I do not like the design this watch. More importantly, the model name, War Drum, makes me curious of their motives. Maybe, if the Geo Political landscape was not ready to explode the name would’ve been more acceptable.

I don't own a San Martin watch, but I hear the quality is excellent and I'd hope the quality of this would be, too. I'm also interested in them being original designs. But...this is not for me. Actually, I think it's hideous. With the numbers round the outside, it's like it's a divers bezel, but it's not, plus with the 200m of water resistance and the hands it's almost like they started designing a divers watch, then changed their mind half way through but didn't change the basic design and decided to make do with it. I don't like the dial and I've seen a similar style of hands before on a San Martin watch and didn't like it then, either. Regarding the name, I'm not that bothered by it and the strap looks really good. This style of video is fine, I like them on your other channel, and it's fine here.

I'm in the United States and believe it or not everything does not revolve around my country are any European country. I'm sure they have their own thing going on along with their own markets. We always complain about things they write on watches. But they are the ones who are building watches. I just always get this sense that people think they are better than others somehow. I don't mean you in particular so please don't take offense. Personally I think they have the right to put anything they want on their watch. That's just my two cents on that. I like the shape of the case but I don't like how they made it so busy. I, like you, appreciate standard regular designs the overall case shape is appealing, they just need to tone down and normalize the face of the thing. I would definitely buy that strap separately if it came in 20 mm.

@@bigriceburnerThanks for taking the time to type exactly what I was thinking. It’s particularly disheartening to see a watchmaker being lambasted for being brave enough to come up with an ethnic name for their brand. Pretty sure none of us here even know what it means; it’s pretty likely that it means something dear to the company. It perfectly explains why companies are compelled to keepWestern-sounding names (e.g San Martin) for their brands. The closed-minded bigotry is appalling.

It's too big for my 6.5 inch wrist, but overall I like the design. People complain about Chinese companies doing photocopier-style "clomages;" well, here they're going in their own direction. And this may be an unpopular opinion, but I also like the name. If you're going to push the reputation of Chinese watch companies out of the common perception of those "clomages," with strange Mad-Libs style mashups of English nouns, you want a Chinese name, I think. I appreciate that they are leaning into native-language branding.

It looks too novelty/gimmicky for mainstream appeal, not a fan of the name or branding either but I don't doubt it'll be quite well made if it's to the same SM standards. The black variant on their website looks better. I want original designs but not too wild lol, good vid though Gary

Interesting watch, not for me or style for a lot of people I think. I really think the brand name is going to cost them A lot of sales. I also believe that when someone starts something they should start with a much simpler design then introduce your wild design style. I prefer 100% more any other watch San Martin has made in the past.

I like the exit away from their standard cases San Martin uses to something like this. The diameter of 42 is too large though but I’m encouraged what’s going to follow. The brand name might be appropriate for their geographical location but for the rest of us it has no meaning and I wish they’d used a brand symbol instead. Also I think this would’ve “smashed it” if it was a 36 or 38 case diameter.

Man, I was really really hoping for better branding than San Martin. Their branding was literally the reason I never bought a SM. I just can’t see myself buying anything with this branding either. The watch however is kind of cool. Very Steam Punk. Not for me personally but I can see the appeal

What a shocker!! One would of thought that San Martin would of had a pretty good idea of what the market wants, but instead they just built this! Great manufacturers, lousy marketers and lets face it, watches are easily 50% marketing.
