I Went to British Watchmakers’ Day 2026… This Watch Blew Me Away

I visited British Watchmakers’ Day for the first time and discovered some incredible independent watch brands. Thanks to OVTLYRS for sponsoring this video : https://ovtlyr.com/?fpr=jag From Roger Smith’s £300,000 masterpieces to exciting microbrands like Monroe, Arken and Studio Underdog, there was an amazing variety of watches on display. But one watch completely stole the show for me — the Vertex M36 Black Bronze. In this video I walk through the highlights of the event and the watches that impressed me the most. 0:00 – I Found My Next Grail 1:22 – Arriving at British Watchmakers’ Day 1:55 – Watch Gecko 2:19 – Oracle Time × Isotope 3:12 – William Wood 3:39 – Roger Smith Watches 4:17 – Bremont 5:21 – Schofield 5:54 – Fears 6:12 – Christopher Ward 7:16 – Studio Underdog 7:57 – Monroe Watches 8:39 – Arken 9:10 – Vertex (The Watch That Stole the Show) 11:22 – Bamford Cricket Watch Holder 11:36 – Beaucroft Rebel Red 11:49 – Meeting Top Time Ticker
