### Scope
- Brand histories: explained through business reality and design lineage
- Movements: architecture and serviceability in plain language

- Craft details: casework, dial finishing, hands, and what sets true watchmaking apart from marketing spin
### What you’ll find here
- Weekly video breakdowns of models and brands
- Written notes and checklists for decision-making
- Comparative guides at multiple budgets
- Red-flag indicators to spot poor value or short-term fads
