The most recognizable independent luxury watch brands are ones that carry huge price tags. An F.P. Journe Chronometre Bleu - the entry-level watch - costs $39,800. At De Bethune, the entry-level DB27 costs a cool $40,000. In a world where Richard Mille and Greubel Forsey routinely charge as much as $1 million for chic independent brand luxury watches, are there any values to be had? YES! Tonight's show focuses on independent brand watches that are priced at $10,000 or less.
Armand Billard of France is an industrial designer by trade. However, he's also a watch craftsman -- and self-taught. Armand's focus is elaborate dial concepts and execution of these visions by hand. From aventurine to stone to meteorite and guilloche dials, there's very little that Armand does not offer on his SB04 watch model. Literally thousands of permutations are available for under $10,000, and it is possible to create a totally unique SB04 from among the options offered. At 40mm or 37mm in titanium or steel, the SB04 is an ideally sized canvas on which to create a truly unique luxury watch.
Garrick Watches of Norfolk, UK focuses on the modern revival of traditional British watchmaking. The new Garrick S6 is a 42mm steel or gold dress watch that combines a pocket watch-style manual wind movement with elaborate dial options. Hammered dials, textured dials, engine turned dials, and different styles of hands are on the table; colors can be customized across a large range of options. the Unitas 6498-based movement includes custom color gilding, an engraved barrel cover, and various styles of finish.
Torsti Laine is a Finnish watchmaker practicing his trade in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. His Gelidus G3 is a 40.5mm steel dress watch that offers much of the style of Kari Voutilainen and the Gronefeld brothers, but at far lower prices. Custom dials, unique movement relief decoration, and artful use of traditional movement bienfacture yield a luxury watch that boasts up to 80 percent of the detail of more famous options at perhaps 5-10 percent of their prices.
Dan Royter of Brooklyn is a self-taught watchmaker who focuses on chronograph watches capably finished and accessibly priced. Dan learned movement decoration alongside traditional mechanical watchmaking by trial and error, and he has been a great guide for Tim in his own study of watch craft. Dan's DR02 chronograph is highly customizable with unique colors, engraving, straps, movement gilding, and upcoming options including engine-turned dials. Dan includes extra straps, timing sheets, and personal notes with all of his timepieces.

I love it when Tim exposes us to brands we are not familiar with. Tim also gives us his reasons on how each brand makes his cut to qualify as high horology. This is the secret sauce of why Tim is a cut above the rest of the watch channels!
Always miss the live stream at this time of year. Wonderful selection of watches, Tim! German independent D. Dornbluth & Sohn is one of my favourites. Beautiful, customisable, cost effective.
Armand is amazing to work with while choosing all of the details of your watch. The process was unlike anything else.
Tim, tell us about that digital clock behind you. I love it.
It's a Nixie Clock made by Dalibor Farny in the Czech Republic.
Best,
Tim
Great list. Under 10k I'm still all in on Habring2, but I love what you put together here.
Came Across The Watch Box Channel And I Have Been Addicted Ever Since...Last Week Went Into An Wristwatch Dealership For Rolex, And True To Word, The Daytona,The Sky dweller Where Only Available Via Wait Listing...Took Sometime Out To Appreciate A Few Omega, Tudor And Tag Watches.....Thanks Tim Im Officially Addicted To Horology...By The Way My Dad Was In The British Navy And He Was A Collector Of A Few Bespoke Watches...
Some epic watches/brands
Difficult to choose between them
The fact that they are so customisable is also so appealing
Many Thanks Tim
My pleasure for logging on
Love the show, Tim’s enthusiasm and incredible knowledge! You are awesome!
Man, I wasn't going to buy another watch this year....but this video has made me rethink that 😅
Food for thought, right? These are great options that don't force you to choose between a watch and... retirement.
Best,
Tim
Thanx for the great show Tim. I checked out Holland bikes at the Made show in portland last weekend. Your name came up and smiles and platitudes were shared. If you ever make it to the rose city, give me a shout-out and a nice ride on a nice bike is assured. Thank you for the standard of excellence that you establish for those sharing their love of horology and timepiece collecting. Cheers!
Wow, you saw Bill and Cody at Made? I'm so jealous!!! I'm amazed that they remember me all these years later; I bought my Holland Exogrid in 2012!
Best,
Tim
Best show and host on UA-cam! Always waiting for the next one. Keep up the good work sir.
Love the content of today show! Love those Breguet wrist shots roo🤟
A few months back, Aren personally came to my home to deliver my HN00 and it’s been an absolute pleasure to wear. The case perfectly conforms to the curvature of my wrist and the dial shines in any lighting. Saying that I’m excited for his next creations is an understatement!
Listening to Tim describe watches is such a treat. Like, I learn new big words every time. Sounding them out now. I'd like to have Tim replace Siri/Google. I'd just pull over, listen to the word painting, then forget what I asked, but feel ever more sophisticated and cultivated. Great work once again! P.S. As a Finn, I'm saving for a Voutilainen. Never going to happen but it sounds provocative.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad I can provide that much entertainment

Tim
Man micro brings is my thing. I stay away from mainstream. I like the real exclusivity of them. Actually watching Tim’s videos , I learned more lux brands than ever. All useless info it seems cuz I will never be able to own, but it is actually really and very well great info. I learned so much to really
Pick and enjoy my micro brands. And maybe one day I will know exactly what I want when it’s time to buy my first luxury brand
❤❤....at $10k, buy the Vacheron Constantin 1956.. beautiful watch
Interesting pieces ✅️✅️✅️. Thanx Tim and Shawn. Enjoy your holiday🥃🥃🥃
Someone in the audience brought up the Rolex purchase of its AD Bucherer. There are so many pluses and minuses, as well as, so many unknowns. Only time will tell how this will impact Rolex’s long term strategy. It will be interesting to hear what the Rolex Account Executives are saying to the AD’s all over the world.
I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 and a big fan, I can’t wait to meet TIM for lunch with two of my Watch buddies.
Ideally, we'll have a WatchBox UK sooner rather than later. I have no specifics to share, but I know it's a place we'd love to be in the future.
Best,
Tim
Thank you Tim & Team.
Great episode as always, Tim. How do you think the bucerer acquisition will effect the the average AD customer or watchbox customer?
WatchBox, not so much. We sell preowned watches that we buy from end users, so we can continue doing our thing on that front. At the authorized dealer level, I'm less certain. It's hard to believe Rolex wouldn't prefer you buy direct through Bucherer. I would be worried about that if I were in the Rolex AD business exclusively.

Tim
Ha i'm still mad I didn't jump in and go for the Royter Chrono in the watch group. Those are stellar watches. Cool to see it highlighted on the show.
Good news: we're doing a "Season 2" group watch this year. It'll be the same volume as 2022 at 20-25 pieces, and as with the first, 100 percent of the proceeds go to the artisan/creator. I'll never make a cent on those watches, and that's the way I want it. Oh yeah, and one more thing: there's an Easter egg in THIS EPISODE that previews the TTWTM Season 2 group watch from Armand Billard.

Tim
Excellent show!
Thank you! Watches at prices that don't cause chest pains 👍🏻❤😃
I know the feeling. Sometimes, the price of these things and the agony of the decision takes most of the fun out of the purchase.
Best,
Tim
Hey! My watch made it!!
Those Havid Nagan watches are stunning, however, the fact that the dials are stamped and not guilloché is a "wannabe" approach that are not my cup of tea. I would rather prefer a honest flat dial.
Thanks for trusting our company 😉
I always try to acknowledge the guys who reach out and mention they bought the watch from us. Since I'm not part of sales, I don't know whether a watch in a wrist shot came from WB or not, so I'm dependent on the client to mention it. If they're kind enough to do so, I feel like a "thank you" is in order when I show the shot.
Best,
Tim
Greetings from Panama.
No RJM watches? 🤷🏽♂️
I covered some RGM watches recently, so Roland had to sit out this round. But I'm going to shoot an "American watches" feature soon enough, so stay tuned.
Best,
Tim
Don't forget you can get the Christopher Ward Bel canto for 3 grand. You just have to wait a while for it!
Miased the love stream, but hey...first comment and all that 😅
Thanks for joining us! It's always great to see new names in the comment section.

Tim
It might be the lighting but it looks like you got a tupe.
This is about half way to a haircut.

Love making tgis live
19:29 This can be red…
That is huge suit jacket
Thankfully, it's not a suit jacket. It's more of a casual thing called "City Hunter" and inspired by Spanish Teba hunting wear.

Tim
Don't get the notion about Wolex buying Bucherer. What's
the point of buying Bucherer cause they have the license to sell Patek dress watches?
Not sure I copy. Are you asking why Rolex won't need or want to buy Patek? Or why it won't need to make dress watches if it retails Patek?
Best,
Tim
No Ming watches?
Swatch may be targeting non-watch collectors and scalpers to spread Blancpain's name to the market. In addition to that, Swatch wants Rolex fanboys to know FF is the father of all divers, not submariner.
I would get the Royale with cheese
Because of the metric system?

Tim
Breguet and tesla usually means sensible shoes
At the very least, it does show an inclination to try something different.

Tim
I can't wait for the greatest watch show of all times . 9-11-should be 🔥
