Price point is great and I will probably never change brands, did I mention Skagen's are ultra thin and it feels great for extended wear.

Beautiful video, thank you so much. Like everytime, I see something new, some of watchbrands I‘ve never seen before. This time it was a „Green Dragon“ from Moser. When I think about a minimalism, I think about one brand: „Bering“. Did you ever hear about them? Especially their ultra-slim collection and a classic one. Just at this moment I‘m wearing one with 4,8mm thickness. Sometimes its just nice to have a clear dial, hour and minute and nothing else, it feels quiet and calm. One of the best ways to escape from all the stress is just to take a look at such a minimalistic watch on my wrist and think myself „everything is okay, I have a lot of time“.

Dolz - anOrdain just shifted their production method. They were doing batches and opening them up for purchase at an announced time. The problem was they had a batch of 40 (which is a lot for them as they are a very small shop). IIRC, 600 or so people tried to buy them. They sold out in like 16 seconds. (Seriously.). The owner sent an apologetic email that mentioned Teddy’s videos as one of reasons for the insane demand. Now they are taking orders but you gotta wait for them to make the piece. The process is hard and they scrap a lot of dials so it takes time. I joined the waitlist in October or November. I just got the email that I could order. I think they are saying it will be done in April or May. I did have to pay the full price up front, but I think they gave plenty of business. My thought is this - you don’t really order a watch from snOrdain as much as you commission a work of art.

The watch cases are made with metal from vintage WWII fighter planes. The other was made to honor The Tuskegee Airmen of WWII. They came out at the same time the movie "Red Tails" came out! It has a nice automatic movement and it keeps impeccable time. The feature I like best is the full line dial! My wife calls it my flashlight watch.

There are two minimalist watches that deserve to be on this list. 1) Citizen Caliber 0100 White Gold - this watch is not only the most accurate watch ever made with +/- 1second a year accuracy, but it is entirely powered by the sun with 6 months of running time. (Take that Apple Watch.) The Citizen 0100 is a minimalist masterpiece without ego. It looks painfully common but then so is a raindrop, a blade of grass, a grain of sand. 2) Credor Eichi II with Ruri Blue Dial - this watch is undoubtedly the most achingly beautiful blue dial watch ever made. Take a Rothko painting, shrink it to the size of your wrist, and the Eichi II would be the result. The blue dial is a deep as the midnight sky and each hand painted marker is a breath from God.
