    This video has introduced me to a number of british watch brands I haven't come across. I would suggest that Christopher Ward should be in the top 2 imo.

    I have a green diver from NIte Watches of England. It's one of my best everyday and travel watches with high lume Tritium. I consider it one of my favorite watches.

    @ChrisGBusby Před 11 měsíci +4

    No Bamford? Even Harrods have commissioned 2 special editions from Bamford! Most of the rest you featured are just Swiss movements in a British case. Bremont at least make their own movements now :)

    I would think Accurist would have to be on the list. Growing up in London I remember they sponsored the call in time. Personally I own a Farer, Rotary, Scurfa and an Accurist. I’d love an AnOrdain.

  • @leemartin2978

    The Bremont appears initially with the Dent section, and Swiss made appears on several dials ?

    AnOrdain, heard of b\c of the dials. Farer, on some micro-brand chats. Bremont over Christopher Ward?

  • @jayjay9932
    @jayjay9932 Před 10 měsíci

    Why is there an Oris 65 @0:33 on the video? If Speake Marin is now based in Geneva then why Rolex isn't on the list?

    10:59 The mispronunciation of guilloche hurts your cred.

    • @megasoid
      @megasoid Před 11 měsíci +1

      Cred is enhanced by giving us something different instead of the same old brands over and over again. Sounds like an AI generated voice anyway.

    • @WatchesYouAfford
      @WatchesYouAfford  Před 11 měsíci

      Probably the AI voice would have gotten the pronunciation right :)
      But we're humans, and even though we might make a few mistakes here and there, we try to make every single video as good as possible.

  • @kingvii7250
    @kingvii7250 Před 7 měsíci

    It seems though, that it rely's heavely on the quality work of Swiss. I was waiting for the "Fears watches" to be on the list.

  • @peterlamont1533
    @peterlamont1533 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Thanks for that list and good descriptions with many I guess most people have never heard of. Your title states "British" which of course leaves out Scotland (Great Britain) though you mention a Glasgow maker. Then you mention the UK at one point which includes Northern Ireland as well as Scotland. One brand you missed is "Marloe" who produce an interesting range using Swiss and Japanese movements. Cheers!

    • @SomeNot
      @SomeNot Před 11 měsíci +2

      “Britain” does not exclude Scotland. Britain is the name of the big island and includes England, Scotland and wales.

    I have a Graham watch, it's the favorite in my collection of 30 watches. Dump the music in the background.

    • @patrickiredale4359
      @patrickiredale4359 Před 11 měsíci

      Mind numbing music is one of my pet hates. I totally agree! It (mostly) detracts and cheapens CZcamsr’s videos

      Yes, and then they forget to put Rolex on 1.... AI generated content perhaps....

    I don't think I could afford a Roger W Smith, unless this is aimed at millionaires.

  • @patrickiredale4359
    @patrickiredale4359 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Why CZcamsrs choose to denigrate their videos with shite backing tracks. Totally counter-productive in my opinion. Ugh! I’m off.

  • @laerpearce7932
    @laerpearce7932 Před 12 dny

    The background “music” (It’s not really music; it’s garbage) is so irritating that I couldn’t watch the video, even though the subject was interesting to me.

      Hi - What prompts you to say this, please? Schofield exhibited at a couple of watch shows in Brighton and Ireland in September.
