About this episode

The episode discusses the debate on whether microbrand watches should adopt quartz movements more frequently.

In this episode, we dive into the ongoing debate: Should watch microbrands embrace quartz movements more often? While mechanical watches often steal the spotlight, quartz movements offer affordability, accuracy, and reliability—yet many collectors turn their noses up at them. We discuss the pros and cons of quartz in the microbrand space, why some brands hesitate to use them, and whether the stigma against quartz is justified. Are collectors missing out, or is mechanical always king? Join the conversation as we break it all down and share our thoughts on the future of quartz in the world of independent watchmaking!
