Amen! I own 2 Nodus watches at the moment and have transitioned my collection from more high priced traditional brands (Rolex, Cartier, Grand Seiko, etc.) into microbrands. The quality now is quite good for the established microbrands, Nodus, of course, being one of them and the pricing and access to the owners is excellent.
I think stone dials are quite attractive and enjoyable to see so many. Not mentioned here is Microbrand Henry Archer who produces many stone dials. I have a malachite on a bracelet and it is quite good looking and a very reasonable price comparatively. Thanks for an interesting article.
