  Independent Watchmakers: Then vs. Now (Plus Our Favorite Summer Watches)

  Jul 9, 202649 min

  Independent watchmakers like F.P. Journe, Urwerk, De Bethune, and many others all have a "then vs. now" feeling about their watches. Even if a brand is relatively new, they might have a breaking point in their design or watchmaking that makes the older era feel almost vintage. Tim and Armand explore this idea by taking a look at these brands and discuss the differences. Then, they break down what they think makes a good summer watch (outside of being just a diver) and what some of their favorites are for this season.
