    Frequently asked questions

    What is a microbrand?

    A small, independent watch brand, usually founded by enthusiasts, with limited production and direct sales. The guide spans microbrands to independent ateliers and shows each brand’s country, movement, calibre family, case size and price band.

    How does a brand get into the guide?

    Independent brands that sell wristwatches under their own name. Shops, resellers and defunct brands are excluded. If one is missing, use the suggest-a-brand button.

    Does Coroa sell these brands?

    A few. The guide maps the market and is open to every brand. Coroa is starting to bring some of them to Brazil, with invoice and local warranty; when Coroa sells a brand, its page says so. “I want it in Brazil” helps choose the next ones. Registering interest is not an order or a reservation.

    Why does the guide’s price differ from the price in Brazil?

    The guide shows the average list price on each brand’s website, converted at the Central Bank of Brazil PTAX rate. It excludes taxes, shipping and import costs, and it is not Coroa’s selling price.

    I found wrong data. How do I fix it?

    Brands can correct their data with “Is this your brand?”, and collectors can comment on each listing. The database is reviewed twice a week.

    How often is the guide updated?

    Twice a week: each round checks websites, prices and movements, adds new brands and updates exchange rates.

    Can I cite the guide?

    Yes, and a link is appreciated: “The Definitive Guide to Microbrands, Coroa” — coroawatches.com/microbrands. Listed brands can use the guide’s badge on their own website.
