The oldest in the guide is Mulco, founded in 1931; 61 were founded in 2015 or later. The most common styles are dress, chronograph and field.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Brands can correct their data with “Is this your brand?”, and collectors can comment on each listing. The database is reviewed twice a week.
Twice a week: each round checks websites, prices and movements, adds new brands and updates exchange rates.
