My favourite micro is Visitor. Especially the Vale Park Officer...

There are lots of reviews of it on utube.
I guess if you'r willing to include smaller brands as well as micros, then Damasko, Sinn and Stowa have surely got to be in the mix?
for pure microbrand, I've had nothing finer than my A-13-A pilots chrono- fantastic finish, spec and functionality for the price, even better if you can find one used.
EMG, designed by hked, 40mm.
They have green, dark blue, white, yellow and I think black. I like the solid end links on the bor.
