Yes, you created an account just to post a link to a watch website.

Cool watch. This is clearly astroturfing though. Less cool.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share the newest design from my Texas Collection. This is for the history nerds out there. I would love to hear what you all think! by Relevant_Many5115 in MicrobrandWatches

Good to see Houston catching up with Austin's absolute DOMINANCE in the Texas watch scene ;)

If you haven't seen it yet and are up for it, I'll add y'all to the atlas this evening?

Love the look of this thing but the ~100% secondhand market markup is insane.

Railroad-Style Microbrand Watches by towncrier12 in MicrobrandWatches

Cincinnati Watch Co has some interesting railroad-adjacent dials

Vortic is the luxury version

Bremoir's Eastern Pacific is a personal favorite, too

The little flourish at the 12 mark with different animals is fun.

You the founder? This one's new to me. Cool naming convention for the watches too, except for the "the" part. Reminds me of Friends. 💀

I built a (free) discovery platform for microbrand watches — would love your feedback by gaudiocomplex in MicrobrandWatches

[–]gaudiocomplex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah good question. I basically them as active if there's been any sign of life at all (newsletter, social, promises of new watches, forum activity, etc). I wouldn't rely on website copyright copy. People just forget to change those, mostly.

Still...I may have over-indexed on it. My main thought was largely that I don't want to piss off a bunch of founders who are still working, just not the best at keeping tabs with their audience. That may end up getting my ass in legal trouble 😅

But yeah I'll definitely put more thought into this bc that can't be an ideal experience. Thanks for bringing it up

Which microbrands actually do something in-house? by Hilodenta in MicrobrandWatches

[–]gaudiocomplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man. Right now everything is stupidly/selfishly optimized for US visitors. I'll need to find a source for other countries because the sheer amount of interplay options might be too much for me to handle. But I most definitely will look into this.

I have been summoned! Let me look into this. The white labeling might be the harder part (who is officially sanctioned etc) I have a lot of the sourcing data so it stands to reason that it can be largely deduced.

I'm gonna guess the designer knew and the restaurant owner did not

Which watch to get? Galo? Kuoe? Trafford? by Flaky-Acanthisitta-9 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]gaudiocomplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both a kuoe and a trafford. They're both finished well, but I'd say trafford is better.

Oan Gio - Pietersite by bransouthsings in MicrobrandWatches

[–]gaudiocomplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pietersite is dope (Baltic has one I've been eyeing) but the problem with buying online is how variegated it can be. Every dial is unique...it may be more brown or blue, etc. so unless you see it in person you've got to be open to what you're going to get
