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

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 🙏

Because, with a RR you are not paying for value of what the car does, you are paying for a luxury that cannot be found elsewhere. And in the case of the watches, we are not talking about the gray market pricing which can be either higher or lower. You have to look at AD pricing and same with the cars.

Tag heuer is a high C at best. They have positioned themselves to be that. Lots of their stuff are entry level and no great finishing. They have some high end stuff that are great value but their target audience is no longer just the working man like the late 90's and early 2000's or racing enthusiasts. 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. Marco is definitely rating based on what qualifies your brand to be haute horology being S and F being stuff like Invicta.

Mean already has a banger, the Manhattan (a scare watch which could remind the Cubitus, except that it has been done 3 or 4 years before the Cubitus ;) And it just launched a perhaps future banger, the Lunar Classic.

Sourcing the raw materials/components for the cheapest price possible is the end goal for any business to maximize profit - which is the goal of any business at the end of the day.

Excellent brand! Given their ingenuity and them being one of the few watch brands which makes everything or almost everything right down to hairsprings in-house and the breadth of complications they are able to execute, I would rank them in S tier. Hope you enjoyed this 🙏

Obviously this is ranking is very individualized, which I respect. Was surprised, given your knowledge of watches and horology that you didn't include Greubal Forsey in the ranking. I am never going to be able to approach one of their watches when it comes to $ but their Balancier is one of my favorite designs

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.

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 feel very lucky to own it. Thanks for the support on the video 🙏

Why judge a brand if you can't judge a brand. Don't include it instead of giving it an F tier below Invicta. Maen should be a c list minimum.

I think Citizen and Bulova should definitely be in the C tier, almost B tier, Casio should almost squeeze into B tier, especially with the Oceanus and Edifice line. Christopher Ward, Steinhart, and Tissot B Tier.

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!

@MarcoFerranteWatches 4 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 🙏

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
