Thanks a lot! I'm curious about those micro-brands and how to deal with their watches over a long period of time (say, 20 years), if there's a risk they go out of business or just completely drop the old stock. I guess the brand can be micro, but the price is not guaranteed to also be micro, right? :D Anyways, thanks a lot again for the explanation 🙏

    The thing is, as far as I know, people where meh/judgey about microbrands (if not Swiss..), but in the end it became part of the watch community. Microbrands may start with Japanese/Chinese movements, but if they go well, they tend to include Swiwss movements too (like Yema and Baltic).
    In general, they are not Patek Philippe, but for a €€€, you can get a pretty nice watch that will hold for many years.
