Discover the new Renaissance of horology. In an era where luxury often feels like a corporate label, a revolution is happening on the "less-traveled paths" of watchmaking. Written by expert collector KIM JANG this comprehensive guide is the definitive resource for anyone looking to go beyond the mainstream and explore the world of independent watchmaking.
The 2026 edition captures a unique moment in history: a time when small ateliers are offering the finishes, materials, and mechanical complications once reserved for high-end Swiss giants. From the rugged soul of Soviet-inspired designs to the rapid technical evolution of modern movements, this book peels back the curtain on 100 essential microbrands that are rewriting the rules of the game.
Inside this guide, you will find:
Expert Analysis: A deep dive into the philosophy and mechanics of 100 independent brands.
Technical Substance: Evaluations of movements (from Sellita to Seiko meca-quartz), materials like Titanium Damascus, and specialized technologies like Sinn’s TEGIMENT.
The Microbrand Directory: A curated list of the most influential and innovative players in the market today.
Complete Digital Connectivity: To ensure you can jump straight from the page to the metal, the book includes direct QR Codes and links to the official websites of every microbrand mentioned, verified for the 2026 market.
Whether you are a seasoned collector or a newcomer looking for your first "independent" piece, this guide provides the insight and transparency needed to navigate the vibrant, fast-paced world of microbrands.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There have never been more watch companies. Almost nobody can name thirty of them.In fifteen years the barriers that kept watchmaking inside a handful of Swiss valleys came down. Case machining got cheap, movement supply opened up, and anyone with a design and a website could reach a buyer directly. The result is a market of extraordinary richness and almost no signposting.This book is the signposting.Watchmaker and collector Kim Jang examines 106 independent watch brands across nine chapters - from author-watchmakers charging twenty thousand euros to a veteran in Virginia making one model and the strap it comes on. Every entry tells you what you are actually buying: the price, the wait, the object. Every entry ends in a verdict, signed, that you can agree or disagree with.Inside: the brands that became institutions; which watches are engineered against a specification and which are merely styled to look that way; what "vintage" actually means, and the nine different commercial acts hiding behind one word; why the affordable end of this market has converged, and the shared factory that explains it; how to buy from companies selling in drops, queues and crowdfunding campaigns; and five questions that will still work on brands that did not exist when this was printed.This is not a catalogue. Some companies here receive two thousand words and some receive six hundred, because they are not all equally interesting.No brand in this book paid for its entry or saw its page before publication.Somebody has to do the checking. That is what this is. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9798198000728
