Just hate reviews of sold out watches.

That's hands down the most unique finds among the lesser known microbrands! Love them all!

Dear Max, thank you so much for taking the time to mention us! We are very happy to know you love the Mondial!

Always great content! Appreciate the intro to new brands

Love Direnzo so much! The watchmaker behind that brand is super friendly as well and produces such quality watches. Love you highlighting these microbrands. Great vid as always Max!!

That GMT is nice looking! I’m not transiting time zones often, so an “office” GMT is fine for my needs. Change the time when I get to my destination, change it again when I get back home!

Awesome possibilities! Thanks so much for bringing these watches to my attention.

Just saw this now, thank you Max for reviewing the Circula AquaSport GMT! Enjoy the watch in good health and see you soon in NYC I hope.

Really enjoyed this one. I have the Direnzo ( blue dial ) and I am so happy with it. The watch keeps great time, looks amazing and Sergio has been so good to deal with.

I love these microbrand videos. Their design language is always so different compared to mainstream brands.

You've picked some excellent watches, that I haven't heard about before. Keep it up! Thankyou.

Great video indeed, love to hear and see more of these underrated microbrands.

That Direnzo rocks! It’s been ages since I’ve seen a modern design watch that I like

Love the Direnzo.

Love it! What a good find 💯

Great choices and you were right I've only heard of direnzo which i really love especially in that color

Love the circula!

I’d be cross shopping the Farer chronographs with the Bravur - similar movements and equally eye catching use of colour

Hope to see more watch videos about microbrands!🥰🥰

Cool GMT, never heard of Circula so keep these videos coming! I am hopeful that Monta makes a diver GMT soon, because I love the skyquest but really prefer the diver type GMT

I’ve got the Direnzo DRZ 03 Eclipse. Actually I was wearing it only yesterday! Beautifully made & detailed watches. Sergio is a a fantastic guy to deal with. 👍🏼😎🇦🇺

Great video. I mostly buy vintage but I've just picked up a new green PRX 35mm quartz for $191 which is hard for any microbrand to beat. It's also not just European micros that have production in Asia - plenty of Tissots are marked "Tissot Hong Kong" inside the caseback.

Direnzo watches look amazing I just wish they would add a otf clasp. Direnzo and Maen are two of my favourite micro brands.

As a PRX Chrono lover the Bravur is a must have! What a banger!

Direnzo rocks! Always enjoy the content 👌

I know Circula, I bought one but it’s too big I ended up selling it.

That Bravur is just incredible! How much water resistance does it have? Can't seem to find it on the website.

Nice video as usual with some interesting information. I love de DiRenzo drz04. Will have a better look into this brand. I might even buy one fir myself. It looks so refreshing. Thank you for making me discover those new models. UPDATE: pity their website shows the drz04 already out of stock..😢

Direnzo watches are so cool! I really wish I had jumped on the DRZ02R when it got released, but unfortunately my watch account was dry at the time of launch

The Direnzo looks sweet! Great video as usual Max.

I have had my eye on that Baltic for a while. I will check out Direnzo.

Great content brother! Keep it up...

nice video but why no links in the description..?

where can i buy the bravur and for how much itvlooks amazing

Love that Bravur, but the price is a tough pill to swallow given the price of many of its competitors.

Great Video

Extremely tasteful for the ones in the know of the microbrand world.

Max, take a look at Fears, from the UK. Not cheap, but very good.

Kudos on spitting out the PRX Koolaid. You're 100% right -- Direnzo is a superior watch that deserves more credit.

OMG, you found some very nice pieces there

Good collection....even though out of my budget

Love my direnzo, great family too.

As much as I like Baltic, can't believe they didn't put an open case back on the ST19. Why would they hide such a beauty

I think Baltic is not unknown...it's very popular among the youtubers. Personally I think they are the best for those classic looks. Their tricompax with the swiss movement, I think the best looking one...

nice watches

I salute your good taste, and I feel the suggested watches completely. However, after some time being a WatchCruncher I own a few watches and the money is gone. So, then it all stops for me. How do you guys continue this hobby?

What is the dark jacket in the b-roll?

Great choices. If I hadn’t just purchased the Citizen Tsuyosa I would buy that one. I think you killed the Germans’ website - wasn’t loading properly.

…Or you can get PRX, Longine Hydroconquest and Seiko 5 GMT and forget about microbrands that hold no value or relevance, but that is just my point of view how to spend £2k

great video bud...great job increasing our knowledge and thanks for making it harder not to buy watches...!

You are the sauce boss

I might be wrong, but I think Bravur isn't pronounced Bruhvaer. I think it's a play on two Swedish words bra (sounds like the women's undergarment) and ur, meaning "good watch" with a V thrown in between for fun. If I'm right, then it's pronounced like BRA voor.

Bruh Direnzo is out of stock 😂

The Baltic is the only one that interests me, I don’t mind the the Direnzo but the hand set ruins it.

What am I missing that makes that chronograph of specific interest to a cyclist? These are all nice watches. Baltic does a nice job with their design language. It’s not particularly difficult to make a case for buying any one of those watches. To form a three watch collection of them, I simply don’t get it. Yes they are fun and playful, but they are to sone extent nicely done fashion watches. There’s little or no value in terms of actual horology. They are all nicely made, but nothing particularly spectacular. None of these are particularly expensive, but $4,500 buys one hell of a good watch particularly pre owned. So while I’m not going to suggest no one should buy one of these watches, it making them a habit, forming a collection, sometimes less is more. You can only give so many watches actual wrist time.

The bravur is interesting, but the Direnzo and especially Baltic, not my style. Slapping a chinese movement inside a watch , making a fancy dial and charging 600+ for it is just something i wont swallow. Also all these watches are below 38mm, so if youre normal to large wrist sized, itll look like a toy on.

You mentioned that these are all for the price of the Tudor. I’d stick with the Tudor for sure.

777 likes... Im not messing with that! 👍

Yema Urban Traveller, in house movement, 39mm, +- 10 sec/day, 42h power reserve for $890. Better than the Direnzo, PRX, CW 12 etc.

Baltic is too small for an average dude

So the Direnzo is "better in every way" compared to a PRX because of the way the first link articulates and the fact it doesn't have two plastic parts? (even though your claim that this is an issue on the PRX has been debunked numerous times as it's purpose is to reduce friction and doesn't hinder serviceibility) ... not sure you made a convincing argument here.

SO glad I went with the Direnzo Mondial over the PRX. Honestly, by comparison the PRX's finishing looks like 💩

I usually leave a snide remark, but you did well with the Direnzo, Bravur and Circula recommendations.

DON'T buy any baltic watches, they are garbage. I ordered their MR01 for 605 euros, paid in full, in advance. I received the watch 7 months later. It ran 9 MINUTES fast per hour (not 9 seconds). The b.o.r. bracelet was very cheap, I have $100 watches with vastly superior bracelets. And the return process was a nightmare. They couldn’t: find my address, couldn’t send a prepaid return label. Wanted to refund my money to paypal when it was not used for the purchase. So I paid for the return shipping and they committed in writing, to refund the shipping cost. Then they refused to pay for the return shipping cost after receiving their returned watch. This company is wildly incompetent, and massively dishonest.

My bank account is very unhappy with you right now

xddd

I only like the Baltic. The others are hideous. Just my 2 cents. It's all subjective.

yellow dial that doesnt go with a nice wardrobe, a LGBTQIA++ watch, and a watch with strong orange accents. versatility is the point of a 3 watch collection and objectively these are absolutely TERRIBLE choices which say alot about a person. This collection suggests max enjoys the company of other men.

A serious cyclist only needs a head unit with hr and a powermeter.not a watch.

800 for a micro brand what a waste of money don’t buy this
