Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content as well and will feature big known watch brands, microbrands as well as Aliexpress watches.
The majority of the watches I feature are in the affordable range but I do try and get some less affordable watches as well.
Most of the watches that I feature I have bought with my own money. I buy them to enjoy and wear but I also to feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress, Ashford.com and Jomashop.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
www.ashford.com
www.jomashop.com
As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
Below are affiliate links for my absolute favorite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

That dial is beautifully designed. If they had used a different minute hand with a slightly bigger circle that framed the hour window it would have been perfect. You could see the hour through the hole!

A jumping hour watch. Very cool

The details on the dial are amazing.
Beautiful looking piece for sure. I'd be a bit concerned about the long-term reliability of a Chinese-made jump hour though but none-the-less a very cool piece.

That did cross my mind too. But I think, like other Chinese watches, that it would last long enough to feel you got value from it.
I dunno, a Mr Jones jumping hour watch isn't that much more expensive and you get a really interesting, artist lead dial presentation there. The one thing that must be said is that this case design is better than theirs, but that's probably just personal preference.

I really like the look of the Mr Jones watches but I can get over their case designs. It is a shame as I would like to own one.
Hi james great video did not like the colour of the watch but l haven't heard of a jumping hour watch before for me it seems a very good design as I'm dyslexic and when tiered can misread the watch face.this watch is easier because it shows you the hour in its own box then the 5/10/15/20etc in number format so it's very clear. I do miss read my watchs from time to time and have been late for things. I think this a big positive thing for this watch and maybe worth giving feedback to the manufacturer if they might not realise this . there are a lot of dyslexic people in the world and I will now find a jumping hour watch I like to go into my collection.thanks a lot John.

Hey there John Bowman, Thank you for sharing about the fact this timepiece is easier on us, older watch lovers, that this jumping hour makes it easier to read! Blessings mate!!
Very interesting and good looking, i would like to see a bigger hour window, it's probably fine for those with sharp vision but a bit small for those whose vision is not that great,or who wear glasses

my third salmon dial is my mont blanc heritage gmt. looks nice but i would not have overpaid for it if i found out about these two watches first.@@WATCHingJames
I've had my eye on this, and another Pierre Paulin watch for a while. However, both have mineral crystals; I wish they'd spend a bit more money and put sapphire crystals on them. I wouldn't even mind paying a bit more for it.

Me too
I wish the hole in the hand was bigger and you could see the hour through the hand like on my grail the omega de ville jump hour, also sapphire and a bit more effort on the case and it would have been a fantastic watch

I thought the same. But as it is at this price it is still very nice.
Hard to find a great looking watch thats different from the other 1000 on the market great find

And this one has a lot to offer. I’m enjoying it so far
One of my favourite watches is my "replica" franck muller crazy hours. It's a very legible watch. I think I'd need to put my glasses on to read the hour on this paulin. Shame, 'cos I do love a jumping hour.
