Microbrands You Should Know...from A to Z - Part 4 ๐Ÿ˜‰

Looks like Jody's been reading my posts here on the Crunch over the past couple of weeks and decided to make a video about microbrands.

So, instead of working hard to draft Part 4 (I will do that work and call it Part 5), I thought I would just share Jody's video that dropped today which does pretty much what my posts have done...only his is more interesting, entertaining, and full of great audio-visual content...

Enjoy!

To be fair...Jody called them a "Zombie" brand...a brand that went BK and was resurrected.

I personally don't like the name "Zombie" brand and I also don't consider them "microbrands" since they are trading on a brand name that has a history, goodwill and classic designs.

So I generally leave the following out of the microbrand definition, though CB @AllTheWatches includes them,...

Aquadive

Aquastar

Choisi

Douglas/Wolbrook

Excelsior Park

Landeron

Le Forban

LeBois

Nivada Grenchen

Ollech & Wajs

Sheffield

Tornek-Rayville

Vertex

Yema

I would call them "Phoenix" brands...more positive and represents the good intent and proper care with reviving them.

Maybe that is another Part of the series...

Why they all make these stupid screaming faces for the thumbnails, itโ€™s ridiculous

No Wise. 4/5 stars.

Youtube influencer thing. Basically, make a surprised/angry/whathaveyous faces for a thumbnail and it'll help with engagement.

Maybe you should do a joint presentation of your lists on his channel? I'd like to see that ๐Ÿ˜€

Well done, I wouldnโ€™t count them as far as โ€œmicroโ€ but for the sake of the tournament, people get upset with their exclusion, so include a few each year. Many are part of a consortium, others are acting more like traditional micros.

Then there are brands like Zelos. Where do we count them now? To me, once a brand starts making watches for other brands or YouTubers are they now more of a private label?

ยท

You assume that Jody knows how to read. ๐Ÿ˜‰

ยท

Your posts are better and I enjoy reading them more than I enjoy Jody.

But, you worked crazy hard and deserve a break. So while I wonโ€™t watch him, Iโ€™m glad your taking a break from this immense project!!

I'm surprised he included Namica. Love my watch.
