I'm glad to see support for British watchmakers, as I'm a fan myself. I own a Fears Brunswick Pt, and as a collector, I buy watches as investments. Even though it's such an iconic piece, I'd like to do some research and find out its worth to potentially make some profit.
How did you grow your portfolio to $52m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, what's your cash flow like?
Sure it's all about DCA, could you please share her name with me or any details so I can look her up online? Thanks!
Diana is a wonderful trader, I'm happy seeing this recommendation, she looked more beautiful in person when I saw her in New York.
If you buy watches as an investment then you're not a collector.
Your channel brings me a lot of joy man, loved these
Another great show! I love discovering new exciting brands. Thanks Mad-man!
Nice to see some support for British watchmaking.
I have the Marloe Sceptre Commander (on the orange strap) - really like it! Great to see you supporting British watchmaking!
Yes! Finally the Stirling video has arrived.
You may remember me asking if you were going to feature them a couple of months ago!
I own the Fraser, Durrant & Gibson from Stirling timepieces. They have all served around the world with me. Incredible quality timepieces.
Thank god Bremont wasn't mentioned. Whoever was responsible for their redesign should get into the sea.
Bremont has been “Cerrato’d”. As a fan of Bremont going back to 2010 I cannot find anyone who can explain to me what is going on there. Could it be that I am an American and just do not understand?
I was expecting this to be Bremont, Zero West and maybe Christopher Ward. Very glad to see 3 brands I'm not very familiar with!
That’s their new CEO!! lol 😂😂😂
As a Christopher-come-lately in the candy store of gaudy-coloured dials and funky twiddly knobs ol' Eddie is asking us to fork out almost 1.100 quid? Dream on, Ed, dream on..... Lively video, as always!
Wow MWC, love all 3. The EC looks really classy and top quality and the Stirling really speaks to me, love the name and the whole vibe and he has lots of beauties on the site, the Campbell for example is awesome. Thank you, great stuff 👌
Looking forward to the rest of the Best of British watch brands videos, and that Sterling is very tempting 👍
Thank you my friend!
Yank here. Love this series. You Brits are really kicking butts with the myriad of fine watches you’re putting out. I have a Helicon Master 62 (diver) in Lichen and absolutely love it. Reach out to Jonathan or Danielle, I’m sure they would love to share their story.
Thanks @macdaddy5971 We can only do what we love with the support of amazing people like you. This is a great video filled with detail, passion and a great perspective. We think we are quite local to @THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR As a wife and husband team, we’d love to showcase what inspires us to create our watches.
I don't own a watch from home country of UK yet, but do love my Lorier watch which is a good sturdy American one.
Thanks for sharing these brands! I learned something new :) They are new to me and I can see myself buying a Stirling!
I have owned a Nite Alpha 300m for several years. Built like a tank. Can recommend it😊 highly.
Great video, I have three Marloe’s already and I can vouch for their quality and beauty, I must admit to being very taken by the Edward Christopher, I’ve had a look and if I were to go for one it would be the red one as I have a blue Doxa Caribbean that looks similar to the blue Edward. Super video and maybe you’ve hit upon a little theme here where you can do micro brand watches by country of origin? Keep well Russ and I look forward to the next instalment.
I love that Marloe. Very cool design and colors!
Great video Russ and a really honest review of some breakthrough UK brands. I am already a Marloe convert (Coniston Trackday) and likely to buy others. It would be great to see a review of Studio Underdog, a UK brand doing things totally left field compared to most and currently with a bit of a cult following. Are they any good? I don’t know but I reckon you’re the man to find out.
Russell - my MHKR arrived yesterday and I love it! It's been on my wrist since I unboxed it. It's comfortable and keeping excellent time plus it's a great size for me. I just wanted you to know that here in Lincolnshire you have a very satisfied customer who will be showing off your watch with pride. 👍⌚♥
Nice! I can't wait for mine to arrive
Great show russ , brilliant idea showing off the best of British, .A bit off key but what do you think of the new seiko pogue,? Just wish it was auto instead of solar. Anywho love the show.
I really like the watches from Forge & Foster based in London. Amazing quality,for really affordable prices. I own 2 watches from the brand and I love both!
I have a Stirling, great watches
Yes big fan of this format nice to know that the uk can build great watches
The Edward Christopher is cool.
It reminds me of a Doxa x hydroconquest type diver
Very nice 👍
Great review sir. Best wife’s reaction in a while. 😂
The Stirling looks tooltastic! Love it.
The Edward look very cool, something different!
Good value for money and nice looking too 👍👍👍
Love this new segment! So far my favorite British brand is Fears from all that I have seen from different British brands. Love the history, the style and design language, and the story of Nicholas Bowman-Scargill reviving the family watch company after hearing about it from his Mom over a Sunday roast! The Brunswick 38 in white, salmon, and that champagne are super awesome. I also love how transparent they are about where their cases, sapphire, hands/indices, dials, movement, and strap all come from. My wish is that one day they can get as to close to in-house as possible and can then finally put "Bristol" back on the dial vice "England". If I had 3500 USD lying around, I'd be buying that Champagne Brunswick 38 right quick. It's been on my list for a couple years now. Hopefully you can get more Fears on the channel at some point! I know they are more dressy, even their sportier pieces, but being "elegantly understated" is pretty suave for anyone and everyone.
Very nice. I especially like the Marloe. “Why is it named after a. Ghost?” 😆👻. Thanks for showing them to us!
Thanks for recommending the Stirling, just bought one off the back of the video 👍
I liked the look of the 'Black Edition' of the Marloe, shame it had sold out.
'Medicinal vibes' 😂😂👌🤙🖖✌🤘👏🍻
Love that the Brit’s are making a stand to the Swiss. Let’s go!
Russ did you miss a lume shot with the Stirling?… 🤔 3 nice watches! 👍🏼😎
Very impressive, all 3
From these three watches I really like the Stirling watch as it truly is a military inspired one. The other watch I really like is the final Christopher Edward watch with the amazing blue dial and that is the one I would probably purchase. The size would be perfect for me and it really wears well on your wrist. I agree with you on the latter one though the lettering is a bit too big and would have looked better without the CE logo at the top so that it would be more compact. No a big issue though but just imo. Thanks for showing these wonderful watches Russel and I will definitely be checking these out.
Thank you for the great comment my friend
What's the difference between truly military inspired and just military inspired?
The Edward Christopher looks lovely.
Love my Stirling Brunt! I have the DLC AUTO version. Its an older version so it has the white date wheel and the new ones have a black date wheel with a cleaner look. Nevertheless I wear the Brunt dailey and its heald up great!
Nice reviews on these three, well now I know one's been called Fraser, I've got to check that out
Hahahahahaha
The Marloe for me. I love how unique it is.
Alkin would be good to see. I’d love to see you review the Model Two white dial if they’ve got any to lend you and Scurfa watches are worth reviewing but they sell out in seconds
All very interesting but for the Stirling I can't get past the seconds hand not striking the mark! Sorry but why can't makers ensure this? Is it the Ronda movement?
Hi Russell, how about Alsta who made the Nautoscaph Superautomatic made famous by Richard Dreyfuss’ character Matt Hooper in the movie Jaws. The company has a great history and has been reborn in British hands..
Definitely check it out I think you’d love the watch and particularly the bracelet. Cheers. Glenn.
England has a LOT of watch design talent!
How about the creative Mister Jones watches ?! Love the chanel ! Thank you for the energy and the craziness
MHD watches are British and make some lovely watches
Hey dude, hope you had a good time in Plymouth, wish I'd bumped into you!! Little footage of the Hoe and Smeatons tower, very nice.😉
I’ll let you know when I go back! 😊
Hi Russell 👋🏻, I know how you’re into military background stories of watches- a few months back I purchased a limited edition of Avi-8 Twilight Tear, which they advertised has a small piece from the wing of a particular P-51 Mustang that served at the end of WW2 in Europe. And it does!
Yet I did more in-depth research, by the serial tail number of that specific plane. I Got to learn much more! This P-51 served in Europe during April and May 1945, it has 3 air wins including one shooting down a Messerschmitt Me 262-the jet fighter!! It also participated in the raid on the eagles nest, Hitler’s lair in Berchtesgaden, which demolished the place. Than I tracked the plane which was sold to the Swedish air force and than, at 1953, to the Israeli air force. It served in the war in 1956 -a joined operation with Britain and France concerning the Suez Canal.
And I’m half Hungarian, half Israeli☝🏻.
I’d like others to know about Monro. My Monro Adventure in arctic white arrived a couple weeks ago and L-O-V-E it! It’s an awesome 1st offering. They have a diver coming very soon as well.
Nice video! Love a Brit brand! What I want to know is when are you going to review the M36???
Soooon!!!!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR yes mate!!!! Can’t wait. I’ve been down to Shepard market and had a look at one in the metal. I think they’ve struck balance between retaining the classic charm and the modern updates perfectly IMO. Can’t wait to see what you think about it.
Schofield watches from Sussex are incredible. Their Damascus steel case is quite something to behold.
The Edward Christopher story is a little cheesy. The watch is okay but for the price, I absolutely expect an option for a bracelet. No exception for that much money. Lastly, I don't think there is anyone making watches in the world, let alone the UK like Schofield. They're mind-blowing.
It's a blatant attempt to ride the Christopher Ward fame.
Farer watches are lovely
I think the Edward Christopher logo is in fact a combined E and C so he could just strike the text
Noted!
Would love to see you do a video on yema, there’s not a lot on them out there , and they’re stunning affordable pieces .
Be interested to hear your opinion on the Enoksen Deep Dive
The first one looks like a Marathon Navigator homage. Stirling has a few Rolex homages on their website too. The third one looks like it's DOXA inspired, sharing a few elements. Marloe is the standout, since it is a brand that creates stylish and distinctive designs, and they're very open about where their products are made - currently Japan and Switzerland, with the aim to bring assembly to the UK in the future. At the end of the day, most microbrands are watch design companies, they don't manufacture much by themselves. As far as I know there are only 2 British watch companies that produce everything entirely in-house. Still, it's a start, and if these companies expand they may be able to invest in bringing back manufacturing too.
hi russell it’s jack from tennis :D
I have the Marloe Sceptre and it looks so much better in real life. It's a fantastic watch.
But seiko were bullet proof in Vietnam too .. remember? 😂 ,love what you do Russ
I need to see some Mr Jones
You should take a look at Elliot Brown watches. The Holton range is amazing and they make watches for the UK Special forces
Nice video! Stirling got my attention recently. Not even a mention of CWC in the beginning with the heavy hitters? 😢
They are coming my friend
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR awesome!!!
DAMN,DAMN,DAMN U Russell, I Was so looking forward to ENDING MY WATCH HUNTING DAYS,,Now 2 more to get..! ok 1 to get the MANTA it is...
I've been on the Sterling bandwagon for a while now. Proper tool watches
I really thought Edward christopher was trying to copy another British brand, I'm pleasantly surprised that they're not
The c60 atoll from CW is still the best
Am I the last person in the world to notice that the like button glowed when Russy asked us to like the video? Has this always happened?! Bad watches but still a good video!
1:21 not to be confused with the tripe that is STÜHRLING
Most definitely!
You think that embarrassing faux military marketing of Stirling isn't tripe?
@@L233233 I bought one as a teen and the cases are just plated with chrome, the bezel jammed, and the cyclops was misaligned. Marketing aside, Stirling doesn’t look trash
I like all three watches in their own way. I don't like their brand names though. Well, Marloe is okay, but a little forgettable. All three sound like brands that are already in existence. Like, isn't there another "Stirling" brand that spells it with an e instead of an i? I could have sworn there was. And Edward Christopher. The brand might be named after two heroes, but no one can use the name Christopher as a watch brand without sounding like that other Christopher. It's like Pepsi used to be Pepsi Cola. They dropped the Cola because it just reminded everyone of their competitor. Sometimes brand names are more difficult to get right than the actual product.
Have a look at Nite Watches Russell.
I have an MX10 and it's a cracking field watch that has had more non-watch people comment on it than my other watches put together!
Stirling watch second hand dos not point on the index marks on dial. Some time stops between them.
Stirling should had casio case the watch, get that second hand hitting the markers. Looks like stormtroopers set those in place.
That Stirling needs even more indices on both the dial and the bezel and of course the case back ... perhaps remove the numerals and the hands to make the indices more visible. 🤷♂
Check titan octane hyper lume , you will be impressed
how does that clicky bezel on the second watch work? sorry if I am a noob.
Like any dice bezel my friend. There is an orange painted triangle on it. Turn it to line up with the minute hand and you can track the time elapsed or from the minute hand, move it to the amount of minutes you need to time something. When the minute hand reaches the orange triangle , you’ve made it;)
No Accurist?
Can’t forget fears
it seems that you are coming home =)
Good
I have a nice Nite Watch a MX 10 from The Jurassic Coast
Me too, it's a great, no nonsense field watch.
CW C11 Elite. 500m diver. Internal rotating bezel 120 click at 2 (and sounds better than the EC), screw down crown at 4 and COSC. RRP well under £1k
"Thhhhhhidayyyyyy" ll be a new watch brand one day 😂
I must admit that marloe one is a stunner , plain and simple… bit like me really 😂
Much more than the some of its parts my friend! Remember that! You are special!!!;)
Edward c = yuk! Sterling = too busy! Marloe = oh yes, love it.
I have a Nite MX10. Absolute quality. If it's good enough for the SAS it's good enough for me. 🔥🔥🔥
I'm a fan of the Marloe Morar but unfortunately non of the other designs have tempted me to pull the trigger.
How about Duckworth watches are they any good
What about Nite watches? Can you do review?
could you do this for as many countries as possible? vear out of LA is kinda cool but need you and your wife to give em the run down!!!
Your wife sounds just like mine, my teenage daughter is taking Mum's line too.
I have two grand marlins mk4 they are a british brand and they are well built.
Not a fan of those Stirling watches, just look like seiko mods. In fact I made a very similar watch to one of theirs with parts off ali express and it even has the same movement. The other 2 watches are excellent, especially the Edward Christopher, brand i'd never heard of until now.
Howdy from Dallas TX USA! I’ve always love your channel and appreciate your watch reviews. Keep it up.! One British watch brand that I have other than CW is NITE in their Alpha orange dial diver . Check it out.
@1:33 so you say the Sterling man destroyed Casio G-Shock watches??? And had to make something better??? I can't believe it!
First!
Edward Christopher... must be trying very hard not to be confused with Christopher Ward. Reminds me of "Relax" watches :)
Didn’t do themselves any favours by using that logo either
Did you read the history of the name of Edward Christopher? Named after the founder's great uncle and father.
CHRISTOPHER EdWARD yeah right.
I bet this guy is not even English.
Yeah, I bet this guy wants his company to be bought by Christopher Ward.
CW needs to send them a cease and desist letter.
Christopher Ward, Dan Henry, Henry Archer, Edward Christopher, Daniel Wellington, William Wood, Roger Smith... watch brand naming by Random British Sounding Name Generator.
@@L233233
Exactly. I don't care if someone's name actually IS Edward Christopher, using that name at this point is just too same-same.
Fidgetable!
ah you came to my hone town, hope you enjoyed the views
I'm addicted to strapahol
It's chewsday in'it?
I'm in me mums car, vroom vroom 🚙
TImefactors is head and shoulders above any other British brand I'm aware of. It's a shame their stuff is so hard to get hold of.
Having owned one my friend I’m not sure why you would say that? However the brand historically is awesome
prefer date windows to be framed (by metal.....)
