Wow some of these comments, she admitted it was a sponsored video, but still her own opinions, and and she literally told you on the video that Maen had admitted it was a homage to the VC 2215…. Such negativity guys….
I have the Manhattan 37 in ice grey with a date window, and it is an absolute stunner. I really like this brand. I think that the 39mm, while substantially slimmer than the 37, would be a bit too big on my wrist due to the atypical case shape. The 37 fits perfectly and it has a second hand! And the price isn't too bad either!
Just received mine with grey dial. It's unbelievably beautiful and super comfortable to wear (wrist 7.5 inch diameter). Although it's based on the VC Chrono Royale, it reminds me of the Nautilus 5711/1A/010 which I owned for 10 years. Not far off that quality actually. I have a collection of Vacherons, Rolexes, Tudors, Blancpain & H Moser and I currently can't take it off my wrist.
I have 3 Maen products and one on preorder, white Skymaster, green Brooklyn and the blue Manhattan 37. The dial especially on the Manhattan is amazing and overall quality for their entire product line incredibly good. Can't wait for the 4th limited edition brown sunburst dial Skymaster.
So maen is reliable? Cant decide between the manhatten 39 and the tissot gentlemen p80. Want to get the maen but I dont know if it will last as long as a tissot
I thought there's a second hand hole in the center of the handset as I thought it was using the manual wound version of 2824, but turns it's using peseux 7001 and that movement have a direct small second in its original form. So I was confused on why there's a need to put an extra length cannon pinion on the center of the minute hand, or perhaps that's the minute hand post that is extra long. Removing that would create a thinner watch overall and also I wish they didn't remove the small second. But as a peseux 7001 equipped watch, this could be thinner if only they didn't do things that I've mentioned above.
IBWC member here (14cm). Have you been able to try on the 37mm size, and how well did it wear for you, if so? The lug-to-lug of that one still being 47mm seems fairly large still!
That's certainly much more accurate. The Manhattan 39 is basically a stretched out Vacheron Royal Chronometer 2215. Dare I say it's an upgrade in the looks department in my humble opinion lol. Hopefully no one will see this comment though as I'm certain I will get a lot of hate for saying this
I am really keen on getting this as my third of the watch into collecting. Went 70s with Ebel and Rado, this would fit perfectly as a 70s style homage.
I completely agree. I like my salmon dial better than all the other dials offered on the 37 as well as all the dials on the 39. I believe that the 39 is thinner but looking at it from the side in the picture compared to my 37, it doesn't look appreciably thinner. My 37 cost about US$700-750 though now it's over $830. Still worth it, I think. What isn't worth the extra money to me is the upgrade to the display case back and nicer movement on the 37 at over $1250 or the upgrade to the 39 at over $1150.
I agree as well. The 37 is a more traditional and a classier looking watch than the 39 ultra thin version but I just couldn't get used to how small the dial was so I gifted mine to my gf's mother since she was obsessed with it and pre ordered the 39 for myself which just got shipped today and I'll be receiving it on Tuesday. Not having a date window and a second hand on the dial is going to be hard getting used to. Beggars can't be choosers I guess
One very thin watch that many don’t even know about and is very affordable is the Christopher Ward Malvern 595 As the name implies it is 5.95mm thin. 😊
@@Dazulolwarrior I've noticed that people bring up discontinued CW watches or CW watches that are triple the price of the watch the video is about. Very annoying and makes me want to avoid the brand
I've been looking at the Worn and Wound Maen Manhattan collaboration in 37 mm for a few months now. Although I love the burgundy dial color, I don't like the way W&W reduced the number of lines markers to only four. I wish Maen would come out with a burgundy color of one of there regular lineup, preferably in both 37 and 39mm. I think it would be a total winner.
i asked them directly and they said they had no burgandy or red dials in the works for the 37 manhattan :// the burgandy 39mm is nice i just wish it had second hands
the watch roll it comes with a very big factor in deciding to buy it one thing that bothers is the font of the brand name, something is off about it. don’t know enough to know why
How many people even know what a Nautilus is??? 99.5% of the population don't even look at your watch. Of the 0.5% that do look, the majority frankly don't care what it is or would know what a Nautilus is.
And also 0.01 of the population can afford a nautilus and also how many good Swiss brands are making homage to the nautilus. By exemple the PRX from Tissot is the best seller hands up from 2022 2023 and will see for 2024. Now more people associate the style of a prx as this style than a style that look originally more from an AP even a nautilius.
Because most watch enthusiasts prefer a more "substantial" feeling for the wearing experience so that's what the big brands produce. I personally much prefer a slimmer, more athletic feeling watch which is why I pre ordered the Manhattan 39 and I hope bigger brands will also make their own variation of a thinner watch. I do understand the sacrifices that come with making a thinner watch which may result in losing interest in it for the more traditional watch enthusiasts such as not having a date or a second hand on the dial. To me it makes the watch have a cleaner look, but I must admit I will miss the date window and the second hand on the dial. Beggars can't be choosers
Am I the only one a bit annoyed that those vertical stripes don't line up with rest of the dial? For example: Look 12 and 6 of clock markers and compare it to stripes in the dial. Its half a centimetre off... In all the pictures in maen website and videos of early "reviews" they are perfectly lined. Quick image search later and same seems to be ongoing in most watches that are actually bought from maen... It almost seems that watches that are sold have completely different quality standards than watches that were revied in early access. This is the reason why I have trust issues...
Did you mean half millimeter? There's no way anything on the dial could possibly be off by half a centimeter. Either way, I didn't see anything that's misaligned.
I have the Manhattan 37, love it but getting less time since my Tudor arrived this autumn. Love the Maen brand as it offers alot of watch with enough own tweaks to the obvious inspiration of their designs.
Hi Jenni, die Uhren von Maen gefallen mir, allerdings haben die KEIN Impressum und ich frage mich dann wie die Garantie Abwicklung ablaufen würde? Weil lt. EU Recht muss jeder Shop in der EU ein Impressum haben (soviel ich weiß). Ich vermute das der Sitzt Außerhalb der EU ist und mich eher stutzig macht auf deren Internetseite eine Uhr zu kaufen.
Auf solche Fragen hat MAEN (Jenni) keine Lust zu antworten... Ich rate also dringend davon ab, bei ihnen zu kaufen. Das ist schade, denn ich wollte einen kaufen. Aber es gibt andere Marken und Uhren, die mehr Vertrauen erwecken (Impressum). For such questions MAEN (Jenni) doesn't feel like answering...So I strongly advise against buying from them. It's a pity because I wanted to buy one. But there are other brands and watches that inspire more confidence (Impressum).
Looks like a great case and a good movement, love some 7001 peseux (now ETA) goodness.howver, manual wound and then this tiny octagonal crown will probably not make it the most comfortable to wind, I assume? Also the missing second hand leaving a hole uncovered in the stem makes this a bit ugly. Hope they find a way to cover that up before production.
I thought that way for a bit during the review as I thought it was using the manual wound version of 2824, but peseux 7001 have a direct small second in its original form. So I was confused on why there's a need to put an extra length cannon pinion on the center of the minute hand, or perhaps that's the minute hand post that is extra long. Removing that would create a thinner watch overall and also I wish they didn't remove the small second. But as a peseux 7001 equipped watch, this could be thinner if only they didn't do things that I've mentioned above.
Don't see the point of this watch. The Manhattan 37 ticks all the boxes already and I've never complained about the thickness of mine - one of the flattest sitting watches I own. The 37mm size in an integrated design is plenty large for even up to a 7 inch wrist I'd say. And the 37 is much cheaper with an automatic movement that keeps decent time. The 39 seems like a waste of money to me.
What do you mean the price is "right there with the PRX"? Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is $690 and Maen Manhattan 39 is $1052. You also said "Manhattan can keep up in terms of quality" when Manhattan is a complete upgrade to the PRX in literally every aspect. I own both watches btw
For me, it's annoying that the videographer doesn't answer important questions, such as the absence of an IMPRESSUM on his web page. This reinforces the idea among readers (potential customers) that this company's head office is effectively outside the EU - a delicate situation for the future.....(warranty, repairs, etc.). The video lacks a bit of concrete information about the watch, there's a lot of blah-blah.
Btw, I own the Manhattan 37 so I'm not hating on Maen. They gotta do what they have to do to market their brand to the masses. But now I know to thread carefully when watching advertisements/sponsored content perceived as being 'reviews'. 😊

@@dukes70 so you're saying that the Nautilus is then a VC 2215 homage, correct? This highlights just how silly these comparisons are. The creator intended it as a 2215 homage, which is fine in my eyes and certainly not overdone. How many other VC 2215 homages are on the market now???
@@Portland_Living_Life I’m not saying anything is a homage to any other, I’m saying the 2215 came out FIRST. So to me, calling something a homage it would have had to come out AFTER the original and pay respect to that original. How can something released 1st pay homage to what came after that?
And where is this watch brand from? That’s right, Sweden! Two Dutch guys met in Sweden and decided to start a watch company. Maen is an old Dutch spelling of the word moon, so I guess it’s a moonwatch 😜
Maen is one of those underrated microbrands, they have a good lineup, and this Manhattan model looks so nice, but it's a bit overpriced for what it is and It's not the same price as PRX, it's about twice the price! But it's not twice the watch imho.
At €1000 for a microbrand it's hardly a bargain, is it? And a bargain compared to what? A Cartier? AP? Unless you get the watch for free of course. ;) I own the Manhattan 37 but I also have the dignity and common sense to tell people how it is without hiding behind a sponsorship/paid review. For a manual wind, the crown is ridiculously small. Any half links (I miss it on mine)??? Warranty? (Maen has a standard 2-year from purchase date. CW offers 5 years on the movement)....
Maen has abhorrent quality control. My Manhattan 37 has a completely off-center date wheel, AND CROWN. Yes, the crown is not flush with the case but is angled weirdly and is also impossible to wind without hurting the hell out of your hands. It's also the only bracelet on a watch that has caused an allergic reaction from my skin making it a horrible wearing experience overall. That being said the finishing is great, it's just too ambitious of a watch in my opinion.
I've been considering the Utrathin with the red dial. I think it looks gorgeous. I hadn't realized there was no second hand though. That makes this watch a no-buy for me. I've had one manual wind watch with no seconds hand in the past, and it drove me crazy never knowing if the watch had stopped or not. I was constantly putting it up to my ear. Making sure it was always wound became an unhealthy obsession. Too much stress
When I look at time pieces, the most important thing to me is the quality of the internal movement, it's accuracy etc. These microbrands simply assemble watches with parts made by others. Their movements usually don't specify accuracy because most of them are +/- 20 seconds a day (such as Christopher Ward). I am not interested in newly minted designer watches that have no clue how to even manufacture movements. It is similar to buying a Calvin Klein or Fossil watch with off the shelf movements.
We use Elabore grade actually.. And the ETA7001 is a very reliable movement. Nothing you will find in a calvin klein watch.. So not sure what you are trying to say here..?
@maenwatches Since this site is for watch enthusiasts, it would be better to explain the accuracy differences in movements. Standard - adjusts in two positions with an accuracy of +/-12 seconds a day up to +/- 30 seconds a day; Elaborated - adjusts in three positions with an accuracy of +/-7 seconds a day up to +/- 20 seconds a day Top - adjusts in five positions with an accuracy of +/-4 seconds a day up to +/- 15 seconds a day Chronometer - COSC certified; +/- 3 to 4 seconds per day The elaborate movement could lose 10 minutes in a month if not adjusted often, right?
As a Native New York city person. I strongly object to the use if the name Manhattan for something like this. Nothing about this watch suggests "Manhattan"

And where is this watch brand from? That’s right, Sweden! Two Dutch guys met in Sweden and decided to start a watch company. Maen is an old Dutch spelling of the word moon, so I guess it’s a moonwatch 😜
Maen is one of those underrated microbrands, they have a good lineup, and this Manhattan model looks so nice, but it's a bit overpriced for what it is and It's not the same price as PRX, it's about twice the price! But it's not twice the watch imho.
Is a Rolex x100 better than a PRX? I don't think this analogy works on "luxury" products.
@@minibus1351no its actually 200x better 😂
Still prefer the 37. No Rotor, No Seconds Hand, No thank you.
this is a paid review!
At €1000 for a microbrand it's hardly a bargain, is it? And a bargain compared to what? A Cartier? AP?
Unless you get the watch for free of course. ;)
I own the Manhattan 37 but I also have the dignity and common sense to tell people how it is without hiding behind a sponsorship/paid review.
For a manual wind, the crown is ridiculously small. Any half links (I miss it on mine)??? Warranty? (Maen has a standard 2-year from purchase date. CW offers 5 years on the movement)....
37MM is best for my wrist size.
Did you talk about the crown while this is a manual wind watch? Anyone will have a real hard time winding the watch with this crown.
Yeah that’s what I thought. Octagonal small crown makes it painful to wind. And here you have to wind it every other day. Wonder if that might change.
Maen has abhorrent quality control. My Manhattan 37 has a completely off-center date wheel, AND CROWN. Yes, the crown is not flush with the case but is angled weirdly and is also impossible to wind without hurting the hell out of your hands. It's also the only bracelet on a watch that has caused an allergic reaction from my skin making it a horrible wearing experience overall. That being said the finishing is great, it's just too ambitious of a watch in my opinion.
The price is 1300€ tf ?!
Cute watch for some…
Wear titan edge
I've been considering the Utrathin with the red dial. I think it looks gorgeous. I hadn't realized there was no second hand though. That makes this watch a no-buy for me. I've had one manual wind watch with no seconds hand in the past, and it drove me crazy never knowing if the watch had stopped or not. I was constantly putting it up to my ear. Making sure it was always wound became an unhealthy obsession. Too much stress
OK Jenni > love yah but u talk way too fast sometimes ok / lighten up on the red bull
This is obviously a Nautilus homage and imo homages aren't cool. 🤷🏻♂
Especially when they choose an octagon 😂
When I look at time pieces, the most important thing to me is the quality of the internal movement, it's accuracy etc. These microbrands simply assemble watches with parts made by others. Their movements usually don't specify accuracy because most of them are +/- 20 seconds a day (such as Christopher Ward). I am not interested in newly minted designer watches that have no clue how to even manufacture movements. It is similar to buying a Calvin Klein or Fossil watch with off the shelf movements.
We use Elabore grade actually.. And the ETA7001 is a very reliable movement. Nothing you will find in a calvin klein watch.. So not sure what you are trying to say here..?
@maenwatches Since this site is for watch enthusiasts, it would be better to explain the accuracy differences in movements.
Standard - adjusts in two positions with an accuracy of +/-12 seconds a day up to +/- 30 seconds a day;
Elaborated - adjusts in three positions with an accuracy of +/-7 seconds a day up to +/- 20 seconds a day
Top - adjusts in five positions with an accuracy of +/-4 seconds a day up to +/- 15 seconds a day
Chronometer - COSC certified; +/- 3 to 4 seconds per day
The elaborate movement could lose 10 minutes in a month if not adjusted often, right?
👌❤
I thought it was must de Cartier
'Must de a Cartier' you thought.
Can you say? Tiffany wanna be!!!!
A nice copy of AP and PP features BUT not worth 1000 dollars. Why are you advertising this?
Dollars.
Because it's a paid review
She just made an editorial mistake. Hope she recovers and finds inspiration and adopts more creative and independent business model.
As a Native New York city person. I strongly object to the use if the name Manhattan for something like this. Nothing about this watch suggests "Manhattan"
Well fuck New York lmao
Typical New Yorker thinking the entire world revolves around you. You speak English, but aren’t English either. 🤡
Another genta homage.. 🤮
No. 2215 was not designed by genta.
@@koolpep similar but twice as ugly
@@Bounce625don’t buy it then. 😑
Your Camera 📷 Quality is Not Good
So improve
Thanks
1k+.......nope
What a terrible Nautilus homage. 🤮🤮🤮
Vacheron Constantin 2215 not Nautilus. Also came out before the Nautilus in 1975
