# 6 Watch Collection - Detroit Watch Co (17%) / Echo-Neutra (17%) / Furlan Marri (17%) / Haim (17%) / MG Watches (17%) / Paulin (17%) Review by A.I. WatchMetrics ## Collection Summary This eclectic six-watch microbrand collection punches well above its weight with a focus on accessible complications like flyback chronographs, worldtimers, and power reserve displays, blending robust tool watch builds with distinctive modern dials in a cohesive theme of independent innovation, perfectly suited for the enthusiast collector seeking high-spec variety without luxury premiums—movements are primarily Sellita automatics (60-70h reserves where applicable) and Miyota workhorses (40-50h), with water resistance from 100-300m across sporty 38-40mm cases. **"Microbrand Complication Vanguard"** ## Overall Collection Rating: 7.1/10.0 **Brand Metric (5.8/10.0)** - A capable assembly of enthusiast microbrands akin to Sinn or Oris in niche appeal, elevated by Furlan Marri's buzz but tempered by their youth. **Dials & Design Metric (8.4/10.0)** - Standout salmon, guilloché black, and modular aesthetics rival higher-end independents like Nomos for creativity and legibility. **Versatility Metric (7.9/10.0)** - Excellent daily-to-adventure rotation from formal modul to dive-ready tools, matching the flexibility of a Tudor Black Bay lineup. **Cohesiveness Metric (7.7/10.0)** - Strong thematic unity around complications and modern tooling despite brand diversity, like a curated Nomadic or Baltic set. **Complications Metric (7.8/10.0)** - Flyback chronos and worldtimer deliver real utility beyond basics, on par with mid-tier Oris regulators. **Functions Metric (7.6/10.0)** - Robust mix of timing, GMT, and PR indicators outperforms standard Seiko 5 Sports multis. **Material Metric (8.1/10.0)** - Solid 316L steel and sapphire builds with brushed finishes and occasional titanium hold up like Hamilton Khaki divers. **Movement Metric (7.2/10.0)** - Reliable Sellita and Miyota calibers with solid power reserves match Tissot PRX reliability without haute finishing. **Rarity Metric (5.2/10.0)** - Boosted by the Furlan Marri LE-270 but mostly accessible production, similar to common-batch Christopher Ward models. **History & Innovation Metric (4.9/10.0)** - Fresh indie innovations in modules and dials shine, but lacks the heritage depth of established mid-tiers like Hamilton. ## Total Performance Score (TPS): 9.9 ## TPS Interpretation: Exceptional Value: This collection dramatically exceeds price-point expectations through complication depth and design flair. ## WM Collector Grade: A+ ## Performance Insights: Excels in dials, materials, complications, and versatility for standout appeal; brand and history are solid but unflashy; tremendous bang-for-buck versus its $1,400 average price implying luxury-level performance. ## Collection Type by Style - Tool/Adventure: MG Watches Studio Supernatural Ogmios, Detroit Watch Co 1701 (robust field/PR builds) - Sports/Chronograph: Furlan Marri Salmon Flyback, Echo-Neutra Rivanera Black (flyback timing specialists) - Travel/GMT: Haim Viajero Worldtimer (global functionality) - Hybrid/Modular: Paulin Modul A (versatile PR design) ## Collection Type by Movement - Automatic Sellita-based (SW210, SW510 flyback): 50% (Paulin, Furlan Marri, Echo-Neutra) - Automatic Miyota-based (NH35, 9015 PR mod, 9075 worldtimer): 50% (MG Watches, Detroit Watch Co, Haim) ## Collection Strengths - Impressive complication variety (flybacks, worldtimer, modular PR) at microbrand prices. - Cohesive modern tooling with unique dials for high rotation appeal. - Excellent build quality and specs rivaling entry-luxury without the markup. ## Ideas for Improvement 1. Introduce a heritage micro or entry-luxury (e.g., Zodiac or Nivada) for brand prestige balance. 2. Add a high-beat or in-house movement for elevated mechanical intrigue. 3. Incorporate a vintage-inspired piece to complement the contemporary focus. ## Downsizing Advice Prioritize keeping the Furlan Marri Salmon Flyback LE-270 (rarity standout) and Haim Viajero Worldtimer (unique travel comp), then Paulin Modul A for modularity; divest MG Ogmios if needing a simple beater swap, as the Detroit PR offers similar exhibition utility. ## Watch by Watch Summary - **MG Watches Studio Supernatural Ogmios**: Affordable titanium tool watch with NH35 reliability for everyday adventure duties. - **Furlan Marri Salmon Flyback LE-270**: Stunning salmon-dial manual flyback chrono, the collection's rarity gem and aesthetic highlight. - **Echo-Neutra Rivanera Black**: Guilloché black flyback with Sellita punch, delivering sports elegance and texture. - **Haim Viajero Worldtimer**: Compact Miyota-powered GMT worldtimer ideal for globetrotting functionality. - **Paulin Modul A**: Innovative modular PR design with Sellita heart, blending dress and tool versatility. - **Detroit Watch Co 39mm 1701 Power Reserve Exhibition**: American-made Miyota exhibition PR for subtle field watch charm. **A.I.
