Dear Patrick, Letting Lorenzo and Lauren tell their story while you stayed unobtrusively in the background is a hallmark of your best work. How people become watch manufacturing entrepreneurs and what they are seeking to achieve is fascinating. Lorier and most micro brands are not generally on my radar screen. As other viewers have also stated, Lorier is now on my radar screen and I am now motivated to find out more about the brand. Very impressive work on your part. Best regards, Howard

What a nice genuine couple. I just got a Hydra and watching this I can only wish both of them a world of success.

much younger than I expected them to be! dope! now I'm even a bigger fan! great vid Pat! love these type of interview videos

So glad to have watched this, pun intended. What a totally real couple. I can see their passion toward each other and their creation. A very refreshing interview on so many levels. Looking forward to receiving my Neptune in February. Thanks again for this.

It's refreshing to see the founders and the passion behind the products.

They seem liked really cool people. I love their super personal relationship with watches. Very nice watches.

I didn't expect them to be so young!

Some of the comments below already say it but I have to repeat ... well done by staying in the background and letting them tell their story. Really fantastic video!

Pat ... somehow you just are able to catch the right people for an interview at the right time. I was waiting for this :-) Great video ... love it. And now I am really sold on those Loriers.

We need more of this kind of vintage looking watches, the design is properly stunning.

Damn, it is amazing to find a company that will stick to their vision that could lose profits. Much respect!!!

Best of luck Lorenzo and Lauren & Thanks Patrick for creating this video!

Ok, seeing a husband and wife team endears me even more to the brand!

Watch these two closely over the next few years. An incredibly creative and beautifully grounded partnership.Naturally gifted designers. Impressive indeed. Hope to add a Falcon and a Black Dialed diver. The plexiglass is a wonderful component.

Lorier will be my next watch. Definitely my next watch 😊. I admire the genuiness of the owner🙂

What a great video. It's cool to see the people behind the designs. they have a great chemistry too. I love their shared vision and their design integrity. I really like their watches. I own a Neptune and love it. I always get compliments on it whenever I wear it. I can appreciate the idea of designing for quality and beauty but also with the thought that most people can't drop a fortune on a watch. I'm a huge fan. Thanks Patrick for sharing this with us. Cheers.

Excellent interview Patrick! I am waiting for my Neptune II and was very surprised to learn how young Lauren & Lorenzo are. It’s just that, design, quality and price ratio of their creation calls on, when you don’t think, long experience in horological world of vintage designs. They obviously have a passion and a sense of quality in subtle design features/details that at the end form fantastic feeling that exudes from the object when taken in hand. I want to thank you and them for this beautiful soulful interview full of honesty and inspiration. I know I will wear the watch with joy and look forward to new designs altogether with their cheerful energy embedded in Lorier creations : )

Their genuineness is super endearing!

Absolutely loved watching that video, thank you for sharing. Felt a real connection with them; both as a genuinely nice couple and what they are trying to achieve in terms of their vision for the company. It has made me look forward to my Neptune - ordered a few months ago - even more!!

Wow, thank you for sharing this video with us. I was on the edge of deciding whether or not to pre-order a Neptune and this put those concerns to rest. I'm proud to have ordered a watch from them. All the best!

I love the look she gave him when she said they looked at pricing it so we wouldn't have to go behind the back of our significant other. I can definitely relate to that!

Wow. What a great story and presentation from this lovely couple doing what they love. Thanks for this, Patrick. Did everyone catch how Lorenzo said plexiglas is clearer than sapphire? (It has inherent anti-glare, which no mineral does.)

Awesome video! Such a nice young couple and I absolutely cannot wait to get my V2 Neptune! I pre-ordered in the first hour they were available!

Agreed 🙂 Lovely couple. I recently chose a different microbrand watch, but Lorier was in "the short list." After learning more about the brand, and its owners, I'll now be sure to pick one up at a later date. I like their vision, and something about the fact they were teachers (my wife has taught for 26 years presently) has me favoring them. Enjoyed the vid Patrick, and am a new subscriber, but finding that you're right up there amongst the very best. I have a lot of past reviews to catch up on.

Love a Lorier GMT. Checked many out on KZread but have not found one that ticked all my boxes. Except for Rolex GMT 2 but too pricey for most people and so hard to obtain. So based on Lorier’s current offerings, I reckon they can deliver an affordable one.

just picked up a blue neptune 3. So so excited to get my hands on it.

This is why I prefer micro brands -- such attention to detail and passion! Hopefully, they don't sell the company down the road to Corporate America where the focus will only be on profit.

Great Video, didn't know much about the brand and not a huge micro fan because they don't seem to stay in my collection! I would serious look at the watches just because of the ownership!

Wow, seriously? I’m sorry to hear that. Such a great problem for them, haha

I like them..... They seem really warm and enthusiastic....and I like the designs. Nice integrated mix of elements from some iconic vintage watches with their own character. Now my critique. I don't mind going with the acrylic instead of sapphire, but I feel like this price point should have upgraded to a Miyota 9000's series movement. I don't actually own any vintage watches, so maybe I don't fully get it. I'm usually looking for sapphire, maybe ceramic, and of possible a higher beat rate..... Along with a cool design language. When a watch goes over the $300 mark, the competition starts getting really fierce. You've got Swiss movements and all kind of spec monsters. If they used a little bit more compelling of a movement, this package would seem more competitive to me. I'm not meaning to sound critical. I'm just sharing what kind of happens in me when I see these very lovely designs and then look under the hood at the specs.

What great people! Makes me want to definitely purchase from them

Enjoy ur adventure

What a great video and lovely couple. I cancelled my preorder for the v2 Neptune as my Tudor BB58 had just come into the AD. I didn’t think I should have both. I do regret cancelling the Neptune because every time I see it I wonder “what if” I do imagine owning a Lorier one day tho Good luck all Kind regards Ali

Take Time, w/Patrick Marlett. Yeah. That’s what I figured. The 58 is awesome btw, I do regret not getting the Neptune tho. But... How many vintage style divers with gilt dials does one need? Would’ve been nice to handle one tho. Look forward to their future offerings. Keep up the great videos Pat! Always enjoy your content. All the best. Ali

That Flacon is a beauty

I have the original Neptune gilt and love it, was one of the fews that complained that the dial was too small but to be honest after getting used to it, my 36mm Tiger 1016 dial feels big now too lol. but overall proportionally the Neptune dial feels small. Might get a black Neptune II next, Falcon would be nice but not a big fan of the hour marks.

Oh and GMT would be so good

I think these pieces look very very nice. However I would love to see all the micro brands that are so "inspired by vintage watches" to at least offer ONE variation in a Vintage size like 34 or 36mm.

Cool interview and insight. Great story, especially the one about the father's Lorier watch. I still like the Neptune out of the available models currently. And, I think the 2nd version of the Neptune is a lot better. More balanced as they say.. the dial did look a bit small on the 1st version and the shiny rehaut was a bit too large as well. I'm glad the lume has also improved. Being a dive watch, even if used more as casual desk diver, needs to have good, if not great, lume. I don't have any issue with an acrylic crystal. They do have their charm and some advantages over sapphire. I'm glad they can actually work together as a couple and share the same vision for their watch brand. From the vibe I'm picking up, these watches have been well received and the quality and design and price level are all very agreeable. Looking forward to seeing what else they will make and put out into the market.
