My favourite piece from them.

The star piece from Basel...

 

[pwillie]

The other basel pieces I like

Harry Winston opus XIII

Hublot MP-05

Of course both astronomical price tags, but we can always dream...

Launched in Basel this year, Arnold & Son HM Perpetual Moon is one of the largest moon phase displays available with a moon phase disc of 29 mm.

My favourite is still black.

I'm not sure what the requirements are to qualify for being a microbrand manufacturer, but I'm pretty sure they're not.

Just remember to change currency to sgd...
In usd is $465
In sgd is $585.90

But 527 is really good price. You can try to ask if pay in full cash can give more discount

they are Haute. to even be haute, they must already be a competent Manufacture. maybe Independents?

ACHI on the other hand are established watchmakers who started their own brands


microbrands in general are your 'case designers' using eta/miyotas in the price bracket of eg, USD300+ to USD3k. they dont have an extensive enough collection to sell and the funds to market like the mainstream big boys.

majority of them do only e-transactions

precista, steinhart, halios, doxa?, UTS, crepas, kazimon, aquadive, MK II

a lot of micros are doing divers, which started from the boom created by the PRS-2 dreadnought

Then pay $500+ in store.
Don't dare to do it even I have done it doesn't change the fact. Lol
