OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM | A DIFFERENT KIND OF WATCH

Though the household Swiss names in the world of horology will more often than not get us to part with our hard earned cash, there are lots of watch brands that deserve our attention but often fly under the radar. We at MVS Watches, love exploring the more niche pieces and, where we can, stocking them for you to browse and purchase at your leisure.

M.A.D. 1 RED Watch

Possibly our favourite watch (that is currently in stock) comes from the minds behind MB&F. That is the M.A.D. Editions M.A.D. 1 RED Limited Edition Watch. Unconventional in every way possible but totally eye-catching for it. Upside down movement? Of course. No dial on the front? Sure thing. Crown at the 12 o’clock position? Makes sense. Lateral time display with two revolving cylinders? Obviously the easiest way to read the time! Explore more details and add to your collection here.

Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster

If you prefer something a bit more in line with the classic vision of what a watch is, take a look at the Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster. The glossy orange dial and cream-coloured luminous indexes give a warm, retro vibe to the piece. Having built a reputation for crafting beautifully designed, affordable, and highly reliable tool watches, this Nivada numbered edition piece is no different and ticks all the boxes. 39mm would be assumed to be small for a dive watch but in this case, it is ideal. No date – no problem! And change from a thousand pounds gets you a lot of watch. Dive in here for further information.

Mr Jones Watches Night Howl

Our final watch of this blog was made in London (as are the majority of their pieces) and was only available to purchase for 12 hours! Mr Jones Watches have built up a strong following for creating unforgettable pieces and the Night Howl is no different. Avoiding convention by creating a dial that requires you to read the minutes by checking the tip of the torch beam while the position of the ghost tells you the hour. A quirky, nocturnal adventure on your wrist. More details of this exclusive piece can be found at Mr Jones Watches website.
