Another Friday, another list! After picking 10 pilot’s watches for last week’s list, today, we move on to our 10 favorite chronographs. It’s a category that is related to pilot’s watches. Last week’s list featured nine chronographs, so those specific watches were out of scope for this week’s list. Fortunately, however, it still leaves plenty […]

One of the first things to notice about this incredibly complex watch is its size. Upon reading the specifications, you’ll find that it only measures 39.5mm in diameter and 12.2mm in height. And what’s so special about that, you may ask? Well, today, plenty of simple three-handers on the market consume more space. But this […]

Sadly, the chances of a landfall through a lottery win are very slim since I don’t buy lottery tickets or scratch cards. Instead, I’m watching my stock fund investments stay in the red while waiting it out, and I happily uninvested in the crypto rollercoaster. But that doesn’t stop the imagination from running wild occasionally, […]

This year, like every other, November is a quiet month in the watch industry. The press trips are over, and the releases for the year, aside from a few exceptions (I’m looking at you, Rolex), are already out. One can also say that the end-of-year unwinding, which will last until mid-to-late January, has begun. Before […]

The Top Independent Watchmakers You Might Not Know About – Part 1 https://www.fratellowatches.com/best-small-independent-watchmakers/ https://www.fratellowatches.com/best-small-independent-watchmakers/#comments Thu, 21 Oct 2021 09:00:43 +0000 https://www.fratellowatches.com/?p=194764

Independent watchmakers are definitely some of my favorites in the industry. In fact, I’d go as far as to say they are my favorite.
