Globalization of Watchmaking
We are in Exciting Times, No longer is watchmaking restricted to Europe but we can say that Asia has arrived with the rise of Japanese and Chinese watchmakers creating unique designs encompassing their own perspectives. I am optimistic and hopeful that we...
Great post, Salman! Really enjoyed reading this.
You're absolutely right about this being a renaissance moment. What gets me excited is seeing how different regions bring their own cultural DNA to watchmaking. The Japanese approach feels so different from what's happening with Chinese independents right...
Well Said Sir and Thank You π, you articulated my sentiments far better than me π
The Reuben Schoots is a Marvel β€οΈ, Shiming Yang's Mgraver is so cool!
I am cheering for Kallinich Claeys π₯
Met both young inspiring watch makers and have good impressions. Hope to see them at DWW 2025 π
Very nice post Salman.
I like the "crumpled paper" or "landscape from 30,000ft." look of the center dial on the Schoots. Also the plate composition on the back of the Tasaki is refreshing and unique. Although they're not the newest kids on the block I like to follow the work of...
Thank You ππ so true to Add your list Bulova, Cameron Weiss, JN Shapiro, Cornell Watch Company, MassenaLab and even IWC...

I'm very drawn to the desert-like dial of the Tremblage, with blued hands looking like brooks crossing the sand
Thanks for compiling these, Salman.
So many new brands... I could never keep up, but that Fabian Pellet L'Essential is beautiful. The barrier to entry is so low or non-existent nowadays for such 2/3 hands time only watches.
My Pleasure ππ the credit goes to the LVWPIC...
for shortlisting the semi-finalists which allowed me to discover these Watchmakers, the Fabian Pellet is indeed beautiful π, absolutely the barriers to entry are low which is great in my opinion, heightened competition will bring in more creativity and lo...
Excellent post , thanks ππ»
These watches show why i love indies so much . So much love and attention and craftsmanship went into them. Wish i could afford them all ππ»π
The mineroci looks awesome...
I'll be in China soon, ironically because I just moved my jewelry brand manufacturing from the US to China lol. Considering stop[ing by to visit them. They are in Beijing though which be a bit of a pain with the current itinerary. Will be interesting to s...
