Thank you for watching!

[@henryarcherwatches]

Thank you so much for the wonderful introduction to our brand. We are incredibly proud to be among the brands in your inventory. Kind regards from Denmark, Henrik

[@islandwatch]

When you make great watches, my job is easy!

[@spencersmith9473]

Just saw this video and immediately purchased the Nordso iris! Love love love your pieces

[@henryarcherwatches]

@@spencersmith9473 Thank you so much 🙏

[@David-nx2vm]

“…Eff the gloves…”! I nearly spit out my coffee. Nice addition to the store, Marc.

[@islandwatch]

haha, thanks.

[@halfsourlizard9319]

One of my fav moments in a Marc-introduces-watch vid ever.

[@piquetuk]

I have the Nordsø purple DLC, the dial is mesmerising. Also when I emailed them a question Henrik himself called me in the UK from Denmark, we ended up chatting watches for a good 20 minutes. A personal touch I have never experienced before, top bloke.

[@islandwatch]

So cool, thanks for sharing.

[@ahha6304]

Yeah I can confirm about how Henrik treat his customers, I even called him Hank after 2 chatting sessions

[@thegorn]

Henrik is a cool guy!

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

The purple dial is glorious! 💜

[@islandwatch]

sure is

[@grahamliggat7193]

I have the Nordsø and the dimensions pretty much rock (the thinness really helps with a smaller wrist). I think these are a great range to complement your offerings so I hope they go well. Really like the abalone brookville too so look forward to seeing more of that.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for sharing

[@shamanprime]

Henry Archer nails the colour palette, they really know how to pick good hues.. and, at least the Akva that I have, has a great look and feel, wearing very nicely.

[@StarkestryP]

Love the DLC, and actually, the mecha-quartz is stunning with that blue color and nicely balanced dial. Always great to see new offerings, Marc. Thanks!

[@islandwatch]

Much appreciated!

[@PapriceP]

I would have never guessed I'd like a purple dial but the blue pulls it all together. Excellent.

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@simonbailey2151]

Fantastic looking watch. Well done Henry Archer Watches.

[@davidfarnham3548]

I have an Akva and a nordso. Might be the best watches I have ever owned. The black (dlc coating) looks great and is amazingly durable.

[@islandwatch]

excellent to hear

[@LMC0013]

I have a Nordso Aeon and Nordlys Polar Black. Absolutely a couple of my favorite watches. Henrik is great to work with and chat with. Awesome customer service. So glad to see you carrying these quality watches!

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@troublemakingpups5787]

I dig the Henry A. watches! 🐶😊

[@islandwatch]

me too!

[@Blue_3rd]

They all look great to me, especially the meteorite dial. Thanks!

[@islandwatch]

welcome

[@LS1007]

Great looking watches. That blue meteorite dial is stunning and the black DLC is stealthy looking. Congratulations on the acquisition. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@TheTarrMan]

Artsy designs. The chronograph has a square crown too.

[@islandwatch]

it sure does, good catch

[@MrDoggerDog]

More no-date watches! Love them!

[@andre.bouchard]

Hi! My name is Andre and I have a purple watch addiction and this watch is awesome.

[@islandwatch]

Nice to meet you!

[@r.w.culbertson2030]

Great watches, own a Nordso myself; glad to see you carrying them Mark.

[@luigisavoia2401]

@9:44 I used to think the 24 hr scale was useless too but it comes in handy to know if you're in am or pm when setting the quick date and other functions that you might not want to touch between 8 pm and 2 am so you don't damage anything. I guess it's more important with mechanical watches.

[@michaelj8793]

Enjoy your time off Wheels Up my friend and Thanks for sharing as always 👍

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@dadmodswatches]

Wow! Those are gorgeous color ways! Great job as always Mark!

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@robertnorth1681]

I’ve been salivating over these for a while. But you never know, and I wondered if this was reliable. So, great to see them available in your store. Makes me feel more comfortable.

[@chickenporkadob0]

that Brookville looks really nice but that seiko is another level.

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@CyberSammael]

I have a Nordlys Neon in the purple on rubber with colourful minute track, with the square crown. Fantastic value in a watch, and stunning in hand.

[@islandwatch]

Cool, thanks.

[@claudeweber5764]

Placed an order on their official website 10 minutes after watching this video. Why did it take me so long? Because i couldn't decide on which colour i liked best.

[@mattys1467]

Nice to see microbrands getting a deserved shot

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

Huge thumbs up for these. Very attractive, excellent size (IMO), and best of all, a totally clean dial. Any date complications would have detracted from the dial design so I'm glad they left them off. Cool watches.

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@alvarezxiv]

Agreed on the date complication! Other brands can’t seem to let it go!

[@jodysilvia2]

It's great so many brands seek you out. 👍

[@islandwatch]

or they seek me out

[@GinkgoJoe]

These look great! Nice score, Marc!

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@masterkilla77]

Awesome Marc! I have the akva mint green dial and it is awesome along with beads of rice bracelet!

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@mountainjay]

I almost didn't recognize Marc in the thumbnail at that angle, he's like the Islander mother of pearl dial- different types of suave beauty shimmer depending on the angle.

[@islandwatch]

LOL. You only see me head on I guess

[@jimmazurek5589]

Love that Chrono! Very original design.

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@v1nnyq]

Digging your watches! I just recent heard about them from a friend and was surprised to you are active on YT. I was looking for an automatic with a display back, and came across that mother of pearl one. That one instantly caught my eye and of course its not in stock lol. Can't wait to look through the rest or the watches.

[@azdbuk]

I like the dual quick release. I just reattached my stock Samurai bracelet back on last night, I had fantasies about a quick release while I was trying to install it!, but I can see how it would make another step in solid end link and spring bar design.

[@kmahan2006]

I put my Seiko Samurai on an Islander Blue Elastic Woven Nylon Strap with Brushed Finish Steel Clasp #EWB-02-SS and absolutely love it. SOOOOO easy to wear and pairs well together

[@islandwatch]

that sammy is hard to get on sometimes.

[@vipnetworker]

Great looking watches. 👍

[@markusbe.musicfromtheunder2497]

Nice additions to an already awesome store. Absolutely love their dials and accent minute hands. But to be honest, the Islander Brookville with the Ab dial steals the show!!!! Cheers.

[@MobileTech296]

That purple is brilliant. 👍

[@Wootguy238]

I've been spoiled by screwed link bracelets. I can't go without now. Love the colors of these though!

[@islandwatch]

Understood.

[@H0kram]

Purple is more and more growing in me. One day, I'll go purple watch.

[@islandwatch]

Great color

[@Rob954ever]

That blue dial is stunning...🤤

[@kdawson143]

Henrik answered immediately and explained that akva was no longer available. Told me about the purple nordso. Awesome watch.

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Nice looking watches!

[@islandwatch]

indeed

[@chrispy3866]

I have the Seiko Skyline, aka Seiko Stratosphere as well. Bought it after i fell in love with yours. It’s a forever keeper!

[@Zotrax1946]

That Seiko of yours is sick!!! I am jealous.. Good looking watches, I like colorful dials. And it looks like you lost weight, Marc.

[@islandwatch]

thank you! Nope, I'm the same :)

[@Chris-de2qc]

Excellent Marc!

[@islandwatch]

Many thanks!

[@Laz_Arus]

The Black AKVA appealed to me strongly. Wrist check ... #ISL-43. Purchased just over 2 years ago and I realised I hadn't gotten around to fine regulating it as yet. Currently have it at -1.1 to -1.0 secs/day so almost have it how I like it, which is in the positives under 2 sec/day.

[@islandwatch]

nice grab, thank you! So long already

[@aldo9923]

These watches are really nice, I’ll be ordering that glacier blue 🥶

[@islandwatch]

great!

[@hgr.7857]

Holy H3LL that abalone Brookville 🤤 The featured watches are great, too. Thanks for the vine on a solid up and comer 👍

[@Sn-tk8rq]

It has some Phoibus vibes to it. Looks good. Thanks for the video.

[@islandwatch]

you are welcome

[@BoozewithNick]

We need a drinking game where we do a shot each time Mark says “beautiful” while looking at this brand.

[@kelvinlau09]

I like that baby blue and the quick release spring bar, on the fly micro adjustment really tick the box for me.

[@islandwatch]

it's cool

[@richardtwyning]

Definitely like the dark blue meteorite 👍

[@islandwatch]

ditto

[@navajasrs2402]

Wow, love that purple. Still don't have a purple. Islander's was just too close in hue to the pink we already have, at least on screen. This is tempting. Not 100% on the Plain Jane bezel insert though.

[@islandwatch]

you need a purple!

[@MrZanzibar123]

These are cool, and your abalone watch looks amazing!

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@georgecupac1202]

Very nice .

[@Knuckles-4]

Beautiful watch the blue with yellow hand, I too love the color blue,will save some money and sell a couple of watches to buy this one

[@islandwatch]

many thanks!

[@peasantrobot]

Amazing designs. You didn't liked the chrono, but it is something in its colors and forms that made me want one... usually, I do not like chronos...

[@islandwatch]

no worries, diff'rent strokes!

[@kdawson143]

I just got the limited nordso purple DLC. 😍 watch well made. I first saw the Akva on your channel. Couldn't get it anymore. Think nordso is awesome 👌

[@commandZee]

Tasteful yet playful, I dig 'em!

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@Z-S-H]

Is the polar dial a full lume dial? With the black markers and hands it looks like it should be but I did not see a lume picture of it on the website. Thank you and awesome addition to your list of watches you sell Sir 🙂👍

[@adammoke8949]

Awesome watches

[@mikeingeorgia1]

That purple dial in the black dlc case would be 🔥

[@imc2cavu]

😂 "eff the gloves!"

[@islandwatch]

LOL

[@ae-ca602]

Very nice watch. Great value. When are we going to see this type if clasp on the Islander watches?

[@islandwatch]

Maybe. ..

[@davect01]

Eff the gloves 😜 It's a nice watch, lovely face colors. ALL metal bands should have those micro adjustments

[@islandwatch]

thank you!

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

I checked their website. Decent prices. Great features. I might be interested in the mega-quartz chronograph.

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@thofMay]

I don't wish to be a pain in the arse, but it is mecha-quartz...

[@jamegumm]

I have the red….probably my best watch in regards to price, fit, design, and specs….

[@islandwatch]

awesome, thank you

[@ahha6304]

I have a Hank (but Nordlys not Nordsø) in my own possession, it runs +0/-4 seconds a day for me, but most of all, it is still the only Hank exist in Thailand

[@islandwatch]

Sweet, thank you

[@garycollard1981]

Beautiful looking dial, love those colours. Agree about the lack of numbers on the bezel. Odd design choice for a diver.

[@tomincali]

Sorry Mark. But that chronograph is sharp as hell. I think I’m gonna order one 😊

[@richardcranium0]

Seeing the video's thumbnail and the first shot of the watch around 2 mins in and aI thought "Ah cool, Mark's carrying Ollech and Wajs!". (edit: the logo is O&W's, but Japanese movmn't instead of an ETA.)

[@islandwatch]

Very similar

[@adk7962]

That’s a rough price point to compete in, but I think they will be very successful in it. Besides Marc isn’t selling watches that aren’t going to sell!

[@islandwatch]

good point there!

[@derbagger22]

You should've shown the square crown on the Chrono

[@kevinwagner8697]

micro brands have nicer dials than big name brands that cost 5 times more.

[@islandwatch]

true

[@grahamtaaffe4261]

How would you compare the HA Nordsk to the Baltic aquascape out of interest? Thanks

[@rappers5719]

Would love the Abalone in a 40+

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

Are there good options out there for clasps with toolless adjustment like that which will fit on Islander bracelets?

[@islandwatch]

We sell one. . . CLASP-03

[@steveregotti8542]

Mark how do you compare the miyota 9039 to the sellita 200??????

[@francislai4363]

I like the Black version. It looks so good. However, the bezel marking seems a bit odd.

[@islandwatch]

I agree

[@MuhButtsBeenWiped]

I can't stand purple as a Baltimore native who is a die-hard steelers fan, but i have to say that purple is sharp.

[@islandwatch]

haha

[@JoeTaber]

Will we ever have a chrono with a useful elapsed hours dial?

[@kutark]

I took my glasses off to clean them when i heard you say, "it is a blue meteorite". Im not generally a fan of meteorite, so instantly the first thing that popped into my head was, "ugh another meteorite dial watch..." Then i put my glasses back on and looked at the phone, took one look and subconsciously started reaching for my wallet...

[@Bob_Smith19]

The chronograph looks chunky even though it isn’t. Talk about a slab side case. Wish they would have made the divers w/ a 45mm lug to lug. Still going to pick one up even though I don’t like divers and the lug to lug is slightly to long.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for checking it out

[@altitude96]

Hey Mark, is it true your shipping is only $15 to New Zealand? Thanks.

[@ramblin1209]

F the gloves. Love it!

[@toomuchnoyz]

Nice watches i think they could have released one with 3 6 9 dial to complement the range.

[@richardtwyning]

Afternoon Marc, how's it going? 🙂

[@islandwatch]

good!

[@ShowemRight]

Peace Mark, I'm not sure if I asked you before, just want to know if you are a Marathon Authorized shop? I have the Tsar, and I am not comfortable with sending my watch to another country to change the battery.

[@GreenPizza577]

This is what the Seiko 5 sports should be.

[@islandwatch]

good point

[@Megatraum504]

odd colors done right for sure. I feel like they hired a sneakerhead to do the colors lol

[@mountainhobo]

The Nordso powder blue is very pretty, but the partly filled hands bother me. Why limit legibility for a doubtful aesthetic?

[@islandwatch]

I think it's all done in the name of style, not function

[@smitty03281964]

It actually has the Miyota 9039

[@Stanjara]

Dark blue meteorite... OMG! You know Mark... you are really pushing that purple color. I mean... ehhh.

[@islandwatch]

Purple is hot!

[@mattshaffer5935]

Their chrono is gorgeous. But as you say, just as with your Bethpage, the 24hr is useless to me. 10ths of a second please.

[@islandwatch]

yup

[@Great-Scott]

I've always thought these are terrific looking watches. My only misgiving is that the bezel should pretend a little more to be a dive watch. Still, I expect I'll have one some day.

[@islandwatch]

ditto

[@keithkatz9224]

Same for me. I've been eyeing these for a long time, but if you use your bezel to time things (like I do) you're kind of out of luck with the entire line. The Nordso is semi-usable, but not really.

[@markloubser2433]

Marc its nice all right but: there is an absolute plethora of divers watches (makes). How the various manufacturers or perhaps assemblers figure a business model long term is beyond me. Definitely time for different complications, ie tide time or barometer are two analogue challenges I can think of. Enough of stop watches allready......😊

[@islandwatch]

no worries, thanks for checking it out

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Nordsö meaning NorthSea....

[@islandwatch]

Perfect, thanks.

[@markr831]

Peter K. doesn’t wear gloves. FYI

[@gmotionedc5412]

Great watches!!! I have 2 and 2 of my fav watches! Recommend🔥🔥 Wolbrook is another great micro brand.

[@mobelue]

THey are nice, but I need day / date.
