Valimor Kilgharrah Review. The Detail is Breath-Taking

- Valimor Watches have been around since 2018 but I hadn't heard of them until I was approached a few weeks ago. The watch shown in this Valimor Kilgharrah Review was given to me for review purposes and I do not have to send it back.
The Valimor Kilgharrah is as striking as it is unique!
Valimor had a brief and just went for it. Produce a no - holds - barred Gothic - Arthurian Styled Dragon Armoured Watch. Simple Right?
They have made it seem so with the Valimor Kilgharrah!
Kilgharrah is the name of the Great Dragon in the Legend of King Arthur and helped forge the steel of the Kings sword.
In my review of the Valimor Kilgharrah I go into the details, and there are a lot of them, to see whether this is truly worth your hard - earned cash.

Lovely review! Beautiful looking watch too. Not too big and not too small! Killer strap. Add up cost of buying alternative strap and cost begins to level out.
Thank you 🙏
Wow, fantastic review. This channel deserves way more than 10k subs. Really well done, man.
Thank you....I agree so spread the word my friend 🤗
Great review! It’s nice to see something so unique and passion-filled like this coming out. Like you, this is not a watch for me, but I respect the vision and attention to detail they put into this watch. Hats off to the Valimor team.
Hi Harvind. It has really surprised me. The strap is possibly the most comfortable I have ever worn. Wraps around your wrist like a warm tentacle! So much ornateness too. Thanks for popping by ;)
That's a very interesting watch. 4 of the styles sold out now. Good review!
Kudos to them for stepping out and making something unique
Hi Tom. I couldn't agree more :)
Great review, John. Not really my style, but I love it. And it's too well done. This dial is outstanding 😍
Thanks for sharing.
Hi John. Thanks for your thoughts :)
Fantastic review John, and I agree with you 100%. Absolutely lovely piece, but the play on the bezel is excessive. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Be well. Cheers.
Thanks Felo. I like to mix content up a bit and it's good because more watch brands are messaging me...some of course are politely declined but I liked the detail on this one :)
@johnswatchjoint Love the mix, and truly looking forward to more as you do a fantastic job my friend 👍
Great Review John! not for me as well
Thanks for watching anyway ;)
Thank you so much mate for finding this brand. I will keep an eye out fot them. Love the Caliburnus II - Flame Opal but its discontinued.
Thanks for watching...I'm glad they reached out to me. Not my style but so much hard work has gone into it.
Very nice and fitting touch at the end :))
I wouldn't wear it, but I find it extremely well executed, it carries passion and intention in the design, I respect that a lot. I hope they'll have their success.
Nicely said. I hope so too :)
Neat concept. The whole package is very well done and being a fan of lotr and the like I'd definitely look at buying one.
Aha...finally someone who would like one. To be serious it is phenomenally well put together. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment :)
They have an updated version on kickstarter now with gemstone dials. Super limited, only 9 of each color. Thanks for letting us know about this brand. I'm a D&D nerd, so this theme is very much my jam.
Thanks for the info!
I love this watch, everything about it appeals to me.cheers John great watch brilliant review.
Hi Darren I'm so glad you and a lot of my subscribers are taking the time to look at this one. Usually, if it's not an AliExpress special, it is difficult to garner attention. Watches like these are essential for the survival of our hobby. This is untamed and it took tons of effort and talent to bring forth. Thanks for watching my friend :)
I ordered this one. I wanted the blue but they were already sold out. This one also looks great. I ordered it with the steel bracelet. Thanks for the review
You will love it. Wear it with honour :)
Another good review of a nicely made watch . There's another review of this watch on Zaltek Reviews channel i left a comment on his video mentioning your review so hopefully you'll both get some extra views or subs .
Thanks for that. This is the kind of watch that is a back burner!
No worries. I'm not sure I'm sold on the dragon sword thing but appreciate something well done. Other than the bezel that's a lot of play.
I am loving the details on mine. That rotor keeps grabbing my attention
Hi James. There is just so much good stuff going on with this watch ;)
Excellent review of an attractive watch. It gains points for originality and is certainly striking, but like others that have commented, not for me.
Thanks for watching :)
very marmite watch , and not my cup of tea, but the attention to detail is pretty spectacular. Hats off to them for going for something that is so different. I guess there will be plenty of people who love the look and will buy it. great review
Hi buddy. Thanks for dropping by. I completely understand your thoughts :)
i like it. it would be extra chill in a 36, but this looks awesome
That’s surprisingly a cool watch! I’m a little too much into the decorated rotor as well…
Who doesn't need twin gold dragons haha;
Not quite for me, and I used to be massive fantasy fan when I was younger. That finishing is far beyond what I was expecting though. Thanks for the thorough review!
Thanks Albert. Something a little different ;)
It’s a handsome beastie although I’d have preferred it without the bezel. Case back back is lovely too. Nice watch for a goth type but not for me.
Me likewise Graham but there is no doubting the amount of time and effort that has been put into this. The case finishing is awesome :)
Great review, I really like the hands and dial and the way the domed crystal flows into the bezel shows a lot of thought too. The crown is a little too much and the watch is far too thick. I'm glad it exists, but I don't think I would wear it.
Great to hear your thoughts. It seems everyone appreciates this watch for what it is : a very niche watch that is not for everyone...me included. I do appreciate it though. Thanks for your informed comments as per usual. Glad you took the time to watch the vid ;)
That's a handsome beast!
Now, that's some watch. Not my sort of thing but if you're into it, that's gonna be THE watch for you.
Cheers 🍻
It's awesome, it's out there, it's brilliantly made but it's not for me either. Each to their own :)
Great quality watch and post but can't put my finger on why it's not me.
Games players will love this watch…. They’re on to something with this one…😃👍🇬🇧
Very nice looking watch but as soon as I saw the second hsnd stuttering between 12 & 6 I gueseed Miyota 8 series straight away before you even mentioned it. I HATE those indirect driven movements, manufacturers only use them because they're cheap so how much more woukd it have been to use a Seiko NH35A instead? Very little I would suggest but they've spoilt what could have had me contemplating a purchase into saying 'no thank you not with that movement', especially with the back play in the bexel and at too steep a price for what it is.
Sorry but you possibly did not see that this is the upgraded 8315 movement and I rate these more highly than the NH35. This is hacking and hand winding with 60 hours of power reserve. Perhaps the stuttering you saw was an edit of mine? I have used the 8203 and 8204 movements for years in Citizen Promasters. They consistently outperform Seiko movements. Just my long term experience.
The whole watch and how its presented look like an item from a comic book store. This isn't to say it's not a serious watch with decent specs. No issues with the Miyota 8 series movements when they have hacking at least. They're better looking than the Seiko NH movements, they're slimmer and their timekeeping is more consistent as well.
Hi Alex. I was worried about that too but once I had this in hand and saw the craftsmanship and the higher level of finishing I changed my mind . It is a serious, albeit a niche watch.
The fact that my subs have taken the time to watch it says something. Most of the comments have been supportive.
I think all your points are valid especially the bezel issues, would the bezel put me off? well at the price they are asking yes but if it were a bit more keenly priced I would probably get one.
As yours was basicaly a gift I would be over the moon, no doubt it would impress Daenerys Targaryen.
Enjoy it for what it is, a very nice Watch.
Shows you how much I know about these things! I had to look the name up. Game of Thrones. I have never watched it. It is very ornate and I appreciate how it has been done :)
@@johnswatchjoint You can catch up over the winter.
Haha. I have always threatened to watch it but I just don't watch TV really :)
Interesting. The fantasy theme isn't really down my ally, but I like seeing real originality from micro-brands. If I had more disposable income I'd consider it, but I'm not sure it would get much wrist time. Quite a bit of distortion with that crystal (single dome?) which I actually like. It's an "Arthurian Time Gem". I'm sorry to hear about the bezel. When I heard "60 click", I was hoping it would be similar to my Citizen Eco-Drive BN0150-28E diver. It has a VERY tight, smooth, safe door like quality that really shines.
Yeah, I hoped it would be like my NY0040 but it wasn't to be!
I like the dial.
Not my style but the attention to detail is impressive!
@@johnswatchjoint I think the texture and colour is attractive and that the layout is well balanced.
I think my son would like it. He's got a pocket watch with the Witcher logo embossed on it that he picked up from a comicon. I think this watch might appeal to people who are into that alternative/gothic/fantasy scene who can compliment it with their clothing. Or maybe women who aren't into dainty pink things.
It looks well executed. I would change the strap for a nice leather one though.
Actually I am sold on the strap. It is amazingly comfortable ;)
How did they missed the chance to have a chain mail or dragon scale bracelet?! Also the lack of some distinct pip or other indication at 60 on the bezel would prove annoying. Aside from that its an interesting watch that shows loads of creativity. I'm curious where they might go with this. The attention to detail is rather impressive.
They do have a beautiful bracelet, it's just that I was not important enough to get one haha. It is impressive. See other reviews! I think for the price they did exceptionally well :)
@@johnswatchjoint I had to check out their website to see the bracelet, its kind of neat but I think they could have pushed the theme further with it. In any case id like to see what they dream up next? Perhaps a Beowulf themed chronograph? ;)
It wasn't for me at the end of the day but the quality of finishing and the attention to detail was impressive. I'm sure they will contact me when their next Release is due...hope I'm still around hahaha!
Not for me but price is fair and for those into this sort of stuff it's ideal. Just wondering if that strap would fit over my armour though. 😉😉
Haha. Nice one! I do love that strap. Soooo comfy :)
Except that on their website, they have lots of models but only two that aren’t discontinued. Why are all of their models discontinued? My guess - they’re headed out of business.
Absolutely not. They manufacture small batches of each line and then make a new line of watches. If you look on their site you will see they have had three previous models that all sold out.
Completely the opposite of your assumptions. When I posted the video, they still had four colours in stock so they are selling fast :)
That's a COOL 😎 WATCH ⌚️. 👍
Thanks. Glad you really liked it ☺️
that tea is way..way too milky 😂
I likes it the way I likes it haha!
Not for me I'm afraid, it reminds of the gaudiness of an Invicta.
Each to their own but having held a few of the Invicta's you are talking about I respectfully disagree :)
@@johnswatchjoint We're all entitled to our opinion and they should all be respected. We're all different. I admit I've never held an Invicta, but the strap and oversized looking case do remind me of their style, though admittedly I expect this is far above in terms of quality and construction. Lets be honest, it wouldn't be too hard to beat them on that, I believe 🙂
You are absolutely correct. Your opinion is valued...that is why I said I respectfully disagree because I don't share your view. The watch is not for me either as it is not normally a style I would wear but I respect the effort and the craftsman -ship that has gone into this watch. I have handled many more expensive watches that would be put to shame by the brushing and polishing on this one :)
Game of Thrones on your wrist.
Yeah...so I've been told. I don't have time for TV but may give it a look haha!
