Definition: A micro brand is a small scale brand recognized by consumers in a certain niche market.
For the purposes of this thread I propose a focus on watches that are of decent quality (of course subjective) and in the £250 - 1250 range.
Aim: To help expand awareness of alternative brands and to give those of us who like collecting less expensive yet well made watches a specific thread to look at perhaps other lesser known brands.
Reason: Since joining tz-uk on the advice of Steptoe I have become aware of various micro brands that have taken my fancy. Contained in various threads are examples of watches that I’ve enjoyed looking at yet otherwise would not have necessarily been aware of.
I’ll start with my most recent incoming.
Made in Germany, Kemmner uses many eta movements and has produced watches of various designs and styles. I am of the understanding that he is no longer producing watches under the Kemmner name and is instead focusing on meeting the demands of the other brands that he builds watches for.
