I'm glad to see support for British watchmakers, as I'm a fan myself. I own a Fears Brunswick Pt, and as a collector, I buy watches as investments. Even though it's such an iconic piece, I'd like to do some research and find out its worth to potentially make some profit.

Super video and maybe you’ve hit upon a little theme here where you can do micro brand watches by country of origin? Keep well Russ and I look forward to the next instalment.

From these three watches I really like the Stirling watch as it truly is a military inspired one. The other watch I really like is the final Christopher Edward watch with the amazing blue dial and that is the one I would probably purchase. The size would be perfect for me and it really wears well on your wrist. I agree with you on the latter one though the lettering is a bit too big and would have looked better without the CE logo at the top so that it would be more compact. No a big issue though but just imo. Thanks for showing these wonderful watches Russel and I will definitely be checking these out.

Hi Russell 👋🏻, I know how you’re into military background stories of watches- a few months back I purchased a limited edition of Avi-8 Twilight Tear, which they advertised has a small piece from the wing of a particular P-51 Mustang that served at the end of WW2 in Europe. And it does! Yet I did more in-depth research, by the serial tail number of that specific plane. I Got to learn much more! This P-51 served in Europe during April and May 1945, it has 3 air wins including one shooting down a Messerschmitt Me 262-the jet fighter!! It also participated in the raid on the eagles nest, Hitler’s lair in Berchtesgaden, which demolished the place. Than I tracked the plane which was sold to the Swedish air force and than, at 1953, to the Israeli air force. It served in the war in 1956 -a joined operation with Britain and France concerning the Suez Canal. And I’m half Hungarian, half Israeli☝🏻.

Love this new segment! So far my favorite British brand is Fears from all that I have seen from different British brands. Love the history, the style and design language, and the story of Nicholas Bowman-Scargill reviving the family watch company after hearing about it from his Mom over a Sunday roast! The Brunswick 38 in white, salmon, and that champagne are super awesome. I also love how transparent they are about where their cases, sapphire, hands/indices, dials, movement, and strap all come from. My wish is that one day they can get as to close to in-house as possible and can then finally put "Bristol" back on the dial vice "England". If I had 3500 USD lying around, I'd be buying that Champagne Brunswick 38 right quick. It's been on my list for a couple years now. Hopefully you can get more Fears on the channel at some point! I know they are more dressy, even their sportier pieces, but being "elegantly understated" is pretty suave for anyone and everyone.

The first one looks like a Marathon Navigator homage. Stirling has a few Rolex homages on their website too. The third one looks like it's DOXA inspired, sharing a few elements. Marloe is the standout, since it is a brand that creates stylish and distinctive designs, and they're very open about where their products are made - currently Japan and Switzerland, with the aim to bring assembly to the UK in the future. At the end of the day, most microbrands are watch design companies, they don't manufacture much by themselves. As far as I know there are only 2 British watch companies that produce everything entirely in-house. Still, it's a start, and if these companies expand they may be able to invest in bringing back manufacturing too.
