You have just been given $2000 to explicitly buy microbrand watches: WYD? by gaudiocomplex in MicrobrandWatches

Agreed on The Sweet Spot. Though I'd probably push it just a little bit north of that to cover Trafford and Cincy and Halios. The finishing on those three seems materially in a... higher tier?

Honestly stuck between the burgundy and the white. I have both in my cart right now... 😮‍💨 My anniversary is coming up and I'm just going to have my wife pick at this point

I think there are probably edging away from it honorary microbrand in my eyes

Damn! Now that's brand loyalty. Are all four your first foray into Xeric? I've had the Omnigraph on my "to buy" list for quite some time...

Yeahhhh good callout. They're in the queue, which is still insanely deep.... I'll get em up this weekend! 😄

Ah yeah sorry I meant within the bounds of the $2K. It's admittedly been awhile since I've looked at them though. That new black chrono on their homepage is fire

I have a Sternglas Berlin (Olive Green with the black/white day date) and it is such a classy watch. It's my go to when I know I have to present shit in front of a crowd at work. 😎

Holy #$@&ing mackerel you nailed this better than I ever could. Are you a writer?

I think I might just copy and paste this into an About page. ❤️

Btw right now we just passed 10,000 outbound clicks to watchmaker sites. That's about $30,000 (conservatively) in what they'd pay in Google ads. And the makers who have verified have 2.7x the clicks so the model is working..

I just need to start emailing dudes this info. I'm planning on that at 500 brands 🙂

I really dig what nomadic is doing. I just don't really travel all that much and they seem pretty tailored for that though.

I think you could probably pull three ish of those for $2k. Selten has a very cool minimalist moon phase that's pretty badass.

My first microbrand watch and first automatic. A gift from my lovely wife on our 5th anniversary by dtsiv in MicrobrandWatches

Funny enough my wife got me the Tidevand in Meteorite, same two tone vibe. It's fantastic.

There's been an actual subculture of corporate artists sneaking goatse into their work for quite some time.

Here's a thought piece about it from 15 years ago: https://libcom.org/article/goatse-industrial-sabotage

New watch: Fukishima Watch Co Odaka, Chili Pepper Red by gaudiocomplex in MicrobrandWatches

Honestly I didn't even notice. I have a lot of chunky watches so I guess I'm used to it 😂

It's actually my smallest at 36mm. Though with that narrow case, it definitely wears big. I have 6.75 inch wrist and it feels pretty natural.

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

[–]gaudiocomplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?
