Just going to bump this as Micro Brands were one area i'd like to explore further, main reason for joining.

I'm not afraid of buying a kickstarter either (Love my Ventus Mori).
Own(ed) Scurfa, Bertucci, MHD, Bradley, Karlskrona, D Hodge...
So may Micro brands that I'd love to see / own...
Helson
H20
Zelios
Ocean
Boldr
Gruppo Gamma
NTH
And many more that im yet to discover!
My Elliot Brown, Holton, Project 354.
Absolutely love this watch! A limited run from Page and Cooper. Only 1 of 15.

I could probably be excused for thinking Zenith have been a micro brand and still are.
Currently wearing this micro brand, very well known in these parts.
I also think Scurfa and the Marine Chronometer Company are excellent
I have a couple of Kick Starter watches, a mix of hit and miss

Don't have a photo as it's been sold on but my Borealis Seahawk in blue was so nice that I ended up getting a Tudor Pelagos (the watch it is based on).
I find that they can be great in finding out if a particular "original" watch calls to you or not - at a price that won't cost too much to sell on if it doesn't.
Farer Lander. Very photogenic.

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

Aquatico Bronze on a Steveo para strap - cheapest bronze watch I have found, luminous ceramic bezel as well. I am impressed for the price of c GBP 240.

Holy thread resurrection Batman......
All the above I rate very highly on build quality & time keeping.
I have also owned a DeepBlue & I can vouch for the build quality/time keeping of them.
A few of my favourite micros:
Geckota C-01 Chronograph: has to be seen in the flesh, the finish is breathtakingly good. Within 24 hours of arrival my wife had blagged it!
Straton "Legera" Bullhead Chrono - another wonderfully well finished watch, snaffled recently from SC:
Lanna Klockor "Starfish" supercompressor - absurdly nicely designed and executed watch for the cost of a decent night in the pub:
Heritor "Edgard" diver - blatant Zenith "homage", but tidily done and hilariously affordable; original bracelet 2nd rate though:
Spinnaker "Cahill" - I chose (and love) a marmite colour scheme on this, but subtler versions also exist - beautiful quality in the flesh:
Undone "Aqua" bespoke - loved the idea of specifying my own watch, and very happy indeed with the result; could have done with some lume on the white skelly hands though! -
I love what microbrands are doing (and have a couple of Helgrays and a Shield on order as well!) - I love having a varied collection of watches that the big names couldn't afford to risk making, and I for sure couldn't afford to buy!
Vaer A5 bought via Kickstarter
I have worn this for 10 days straight, which for me is very unusual. I really like this watch. The overall service and package are excellent

Not sure if this is a Microbrand?
Some great watches shown here some of them I own myself.
Dug this Benarus Moray out of a drawer, a forgotten favourite from a few years ago.
