    Timor is definitely worth a mention. Timor was an original 'dirty dozen' manufacturer and its reissues of the WWW and ATP watches are the best around. Originally Swiss, it's now a British company, making British-designed watches, albeit made in Switzerland.

    • @TopTierTicker

      They did actually make the list at first but I cut them and went with CWC instead. I didn't want too many field watch brands. I feel like CWC is the king of British Military watches at the moment.

      All brands that I looked at when making the video. I could only choose 10, so I picked the ones I thought my audience would find the most interesting. Surprisingly there's a lot of British watchmakers so I might make a part 2 at some point. Thank you for watching Mark!

    A nice overview of some British brands but…
    Bremont *does not* make any watches for the British Armed Forces.
    CWC *does* still make watches for the British Armed Forces, specifically (and only) the SBS Diver.
    Comparing an hourly chiming mechanism with a minute repeater is like saying that a quartz watch is similar to an atomic clock.

    Was going to suggest Scurfa, but it appears their watches aren't available for the immediate future. As with Timefactors (another UK brand), their popularity has surpassed their ability to supply a product.

  • @David-ck8op

    Rotary’s heritage is unquestionably notable and British but I suppose its gone downhill and gets a bit foggy since it’s been bought over by China Haidian Holdings.

    • @TopTierTicker
      @TopTierTicker  Před rokem +1

      Completely agree. I've owned 2 Rotary watches in my enthusiast lifetime. Quality is there but I feel the brand lacks direction at the moment. For some reason they choose to homage big brands over reaching back into their own catalogue and building from the past.

    • @David-ck8op
      @David-ck8op Před rokem

      It’s a shame when you read into their history. So much potential for a brand that outdates Rolex but yeah… they’ve strayed big time unfortunately. Anywayyy love the videos man, keep em coming!

    You ignored a couple of serious contenders in the British watch sphere - Garrick, who make exceptional watches with superb, handmade guilloche dials, and the undisputed king of British haute horology, Roger Smith.

    • @TopTierTicker
      @TopTierTicker  Před rokem

      Not ignored, I studied through about 60 British watch brands when deciding who to feature. I went with the brands that appealed to me the most and also the brands I thought my audience would enjoy seeing. Roger Smith will feature in a video in the future for sure. But one about the highest level of watchmaking and not a microbrand style video like this one
