While we all respect Rolex and admire Omega, the dominance of such storied, and monied, watch brands does lead to the impression that there are only about five or six watchmaking marques around. Anyone with half an eye on what’s going in the world of watches knows there is so much more than that.
The wonderful thing is there are so many small brands out there, if you’re willing to do a bit of digging, you’ll probably find a watch design that speaks to you so personally it’s almost as if they made it just for you.
