Microbrand and independent watches offer something different from the familiar names of the mainstream Swiss watch industry. Some focus on unusual complications, distinctive case designs or elaborate dials, while others deliver strong specifications without the pricing associated with larger luxury brands.
Our collection includes both brand-new and pre-owned watches. Availability changes regularly because many independent brands manufacture in small batches, with some models limited to only a few dozen or hundred pieces.
Every watch is physically inspected before being offered for sale. Depending on the model, we check its condition, operation, movement, accompanying box and documentation, limited-edition number and any remaining manufacturer warranty.
The photographs and condition information on each listing relate to the watch being sold wherever possible, allowing you to assess the actual piece rather than relying solely on manufacturer images.
Buying pre-owned can provide access to discontinued models, sold-out collaborations and limited editions that are no longer available directly from the manufacturer. It can also offer better value than purchasing new, although availability is naturally less predictable.
Our new Trematic watches are supplied through our position as an official UK stockist. These sit alongside pre-owned watches from established independent makers and smaller brands that are difficult to find through conventional retailers.
Many microbrands use proven movements from manufacturers such as Sellita, ETA, Miyota and Seiko. These movements are widely understood and can generally be maintained by a competent independent watchmaker.
More specialised watches may use modified, proprietary or unusual movements. The relevant movement and specification details are included on each individual product page.
A microbrand is generally an independently owned watch company producing watches in smaller quantities than the major luxury groups. There is no single formal definition, and the category can include everything from affordable design-led brands to highly specialised independent watchmakers.
No. The collection includes pre-owned watches as well as brand-new Trematic models supplied through MVS Watches as an official UK stockist. The condition and year are shown on each individual listing.
Yes. Every watch available to purchase is physically held in stock by MVS Watches. We do not advertise watches on consignment or pre-sell stock held by an unrelated third party.
Every watch is supplied with a 12 month MVS warranty. Some watches may also retain part of their original manufacturer warranty, which will be stated in the individual listing where applicable.
Value retention varies considerably. Limited production, strong demand, condition and complete packaging can all help, but no watch should be assumed to increase in value. We recommend buying a watch because you genuinely want to own and wear it.
