And of course getting into All the Great exciting watches out there!! I really enjoy finding and discovering new micro brands and great watch products to share with you. I think this is due primarily to the polished bezel, polished handset, and applied indices. This is pretty straightforward for a watch of this caliber, although when you get it on the wrist, you notice that the Duality has a luster unfamiliar at this price point. Minor marks on the bracelet from light wear but overall excellent condition. I will be sharing more watches from around the world and the US. The Duality comes in a 40mm 316L stainless steel case. Nodus Retrospect watch, yellow, model RET-CY, excellent. While there are a great many American watch brands worth checking out (more than would reasonably fit on this list), below are some of our favorites.Hey Guys! If you love watches like I do. The result for buyers today is more great watches at every price range, from $100 to $10,000. The affordable market has shattered into a sea of microbrands run by up-and-comers like Harris, some of them successful, and each with its own dynamic vision and accessible models. Smaller first-wave brands like Weiss are continuing to grow and break into the public consciousness. Larger, mainstream brands, Shinola included, are all-in for mechanical watches. Quality mechanical watchmakers of the old school like RGM have quietly stayed the course, keeping traditional, luxury-level watchmaking alive Stateside - and have been joined by inspiring young brands like J.N.

The biggest trends, though, have been great for consumers. Nodus does an excellent job with colour, their collections usually feature bright and vibrant dials from their Sector series and their more recent Avalon II.The Retrospect III still packs a punch when it comes to colourful dials, offering a very Doxa-esque zesty orange dial to the mix. Shinola got shellacked by the FTC in 2015 over вЂњAmerican-madeвЂќ labeling thereвЂ™ve been fights over вЂњin-houseвЂќ claims by up-and-coming brands, and names like Niall have winked out of business in an instant. The domed acrylic crystal is in great shape with no deep scratches or cracks. This reference features a stainless steel turn engine style bezel. Georgia Year: 1971 Condition: Watch is in excellent condition. ItвЂ™s not always been rose gold and sunburst dials. Up for sale is a 1971 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Blue Mosaic Dial Size: 34mm Location: U.S. A small army of brands has followed suit. Then, in 2011, Shinola woke some of those buyers up with watches that used Swiss quartz movements but were put together in its Detroit factory. American buyers got perfectly comfy with their Rolexes and their Seikos. Switzerland, neutral during WWII, capitalized, and American watch brands never recovered. вЂњItвЂ™s a madhouse.вЂќДЄmerican watchmaking has laid dormant since the 1940s, when prominent US watchmakers, already on the decline, were forced to turn their factories to wartime production. вЂњItвЂ™s total chaos,вЂќ said Nick Harris, a former Seiko modder who went to SeattleвЂ™s Watch Technology Institute and started his own brand, Orion, when I asked him what itвЂ™s like to be a small American watchmaker today. ThatвЂ™s thanks in part to AmericaвЂ™s own kind of volatility: a crucible of American watchmakers and small brands, rising and falling, growing and changing, duking it out for a whole new market of Americans who want to wear a watch made by an American company.

The watch scene in the United States, long a predictable and quiet market of watch lovers and buyers, is changing.
