Shocked. Honored. Humbled. Thank you so much for allowing my little brand to be a part of this awesome concept. I can't express how much exposure like this helps us little guys. Pushing content like this is great for the industry as a whole, and I'm really really grateful to be a part of this community. Thank you and I can't wait to see who gets to be in the second edition!! All my best from Texas. Nathan Trafford

I just bought myself a KUOE 90-002 Bronze, and it is even more stunning in person. The bronze and textured, chocolate dial work so damn well together. They are such rich colours and that streak of red on the NATO strap cuts through that richness and provides a pop of colour. Phenomenal looking watch; I can't wait to see it patina! When i graduate next year, I want to pick up a Baltic Chronograph. I was debating an Oris Big Crown Pointer Date but I already have a Date complication in my collection (Seiko Alpinist SPB121J1) and I'd like a Chronograph. I'd personally put the Baltic on a black leather strap.

To now bring their viewers a view of microbrands which offer excellent quality opens up possibilities to enthusiast collectors without deep pockets. This was such a good episode, surpassing all of the excellent episodes that they've done together and I look forward to more in this series as there are more excellent microbrands out there. Keep up the great work!

They have such a diverse collection that most micro-brand watch brands can't compete with as a whole. I have to admit their marketing videos are pretty awesome as well. They really help tell a story and make you want to be part of the adventure. Beautiful, well-made watches and beautiful stories!

Trafford was my number 1 out of these 8. The dial is really next level with the white and red pairing. The typography is also much cleaner than many other watch brands that I see (looking at you Kuoe). Finally the hands are interesting while retaining the clean aesthetics. The 2 things I’d change: 1. I wish the casing was more glossy to give it a more premium/clean look. And 2. I wish the straps were a different material and maybe matched/extended the white or red in the dial. If they changed these 2 things, it’d be an easy buy for me.

This was one of the best episodes yet, Teddy! Also, the shop looks great! I knew almost all of the brands on this list except Wren and Trafford. Love what I saw! The Trafford looks like a really cool watch that can really be used on many different occasions. As someone who doesn't have a lot of money but hangs out with people who do, and enjoys the same things at a budget, this is just the kind of thing to look for. And also as someone running a small company in a niche market, I really love the passion and creativity that these companies put into their watches. Great content and very happy for these brands to get the exposure.

That was tough!! Some really creative and inventive pieces... Very tough to choose. I loved the Trafford from the get go. Is it a tank, is it a turtle? Solid works inside. Very cool colors and the quality workmanship won me!! And as mentioned, for that price, you could buy a couple of those and have some fun and not lose too much sleep over it. It. I'd love to see this at least twice a year. Honestly! Great job! Thanks to everybody for taking the time to create some good content.. well done!.

I agree with Trafford that was my pick. So many look alike watches these days. Trafford watches are unique and just beautiful at the right price point for everyone to afford. And yes you can dress it the way you want. The movement at this price point on top of it is just brilliant.

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

Concur that it’s hard to say anyone lost. I do like the Trafford as I’m looking to add a red dial to my collection. No question what you already own or want to add is probably a bigger factor, as they’re all excellent quality for the money. I have also considered the Studio Underdog, but they’re hard to get.

Main thing that brings me to wanting a Trafford is that not many brands opt for a Square style watch. Along with so many different dial options and the Miyota 9039 movement, and adding a little bit of color pop in the case back, it makes it a great a sub $750 conversation piece with many things to talk about.
