Richard Mille - what about absolutely terrible value for money? Plastic time-only watches for $200K lol. You have to knock them down for that.. no other S tier has such terrible offerings on your list. Also, Hublot you say value for money, but $10K watches for quality and movement that is inferior to dozens of C tiers on your list... doesn't make sense
@MarcoFerranteWatches5 ай бұрын
We can disagree on Richard Mille, that's fine. Their watches are no doubt spectacular in my opinion so we'll never see eye to eye there. As for Hublot I should have clarified their high end movements and movement technology is what I'm talking about. Ok at the entry level they may not be great but you can say that for a lot of high end brands that their low end stuff is not great. Just my 2 cents on this and hope you enjoyed regardless 🙏

They are also now targeting the urban street wearer and some of their collaboration and price points reflect that. It's not about value for money.

Great video Marco. Three comments: 1) Love Vacheron as well - my favorite brand, but not the oldest (even if you believe the story debunking Blancpain - which I don't), Favre-Leuba would be the oldest brand since they started in 1735 and have been continuously producing watches since then; 2) You really shouldn't rate a brand if you don't know it - putting Maen which is a fine C-tier microbrand out of The Netherlands - in F just comes across as ignorant and you are better than that; 3) It would be great to see you rank within price bands - I never see anyone do that. It's really hard to compare a FPJ to Certina. It could really be interesting to see how brands in the same price bracket stand up against one another. Additional item, my pet peeve is that Montblanc will not split out Minerva. Minerva is truly an "S" brand but I agree with you it gets lost in the averageness of the rest of Montblanc.
@MarcoFerranteWatches5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! 1) I think the evidence is pretty compelling against Blancpain and the fact they never showed the record of being founded in 1735 publicly is pretty telling in my opinion .. 2) It is what it is, I explained I wasn't familiar with the brand so I don't think I did anything wrong .. 3) I think brands across pricepoints can be tough. Maybe models across pricepoints like comparing 20 watches between $15,000-$20,000 probably makes more sense Agreed on Minerva. My Montblanc Monopusher chrono is a true gem in my collection.

I think you should take into account prices also, like how can you put chanel that sells quartz for 6k over citizen or baltic.

How would you rate Angelus?
@MarcoFerranteWatches5 ай бұрын
Excellent new indy, I would rate them a solid A tier brand. Very comparable to Moser in my opinion. Hope this makes sense and thanks for watching the video! 🙏

Been loving the intro music... Sounds familiar-ish... And reminds me on how you lead that team for quite a while... At first I was skeptical of you because you were a new guy... Young... But you knew literally more about anything than anyone I ever watched on KZbin... You are such an intelligent human being in this world... And I will follow you wherever you go... Hope to meet you one day and buy a watch off ya pal... Til then I'll be watching every video my good sir... Keep doing you brother

Did you really put Tag in with Seiko and Orient. You bumped your head sir.

Blancpain is definitely A tier. Way ahead of several A tier brands you listed including Rolex. I have both and the Blancpain’s finishing is miles ahead of Rolex, Cartier and omega. They can’t be in the same tier as Breitling (have that too). But Rolex is Rolex and I agree with it being A tier. Also agree with RM being S tier. They are not for everyone!
@MarcoFerranteWatches4 ай бұрын
Totally fair criticism, definitely some personal bias at play when it comes to Blancpain. I'm with you on the others. I know some may say RM doesn't deserve it, but there are simply too many groundbreaking innovations and incredible pieces for them not to make S tier. Hope you enjoyed this 🙏

Nice to see MAMACOO show a watch that can be afforded by almost anyone rather than these pieces costing thousands and thousands which are out of reach for so many.

Not bad, but I don't agree with all of this. At least Blancpain should move one step higher
@MarcoFerranteWatches5 ай бұрын
Some personal bias at play there but yes agreed they can and probably should be A tier! Regardless, hope you enjoyed this 🙏

I considered myself a "watch guy" before seeing this video. But I have to admit there 5 or 6 watch brands in this video that I never heard of lol..

I think I'd skip over a brand that have no idea what they're about. Doesn't seem fair to give Maen an F when you know nothing about them. They're a decent micro and use good movements with great finishing in that range. I also think Parmigiani Fleurier is a high A, working towards S tier. I don't see Union Glashütte. That's too bad. Such an under rated brand
