Their designs can be very exciting
And fit perfectly into what I talk about all the time
Using your watch for effective networking and as 'wearable art'
Blaken is the most common custom house out there
But my advice is not to touch them with a 10 foot pole
in fact, there are two brands I wouldn’t touch
I had experience with them to see the quality and I was super disappointed
Blaken and AET
I just think they’re $25,000 (minimum) pieces of junk
The ones that I really like?
Artisans de Genève is spectacular
That’s the pinnacle of craftsmanship
This is 100% the custom house to use if you're looking for something special and one of one.
All the connoisseurs and celebrities use them.
Another option is Bamford. They do very good work. Harder to come by these days but exciting
Generally speaking those are my favorite custom houses that offer truly one-off pieces that stand apart in a crowded market...and don't compromise on quality
Is it advisable to play in custom house watches like Blaken?
