About the Atlas
A field guide to independent watchmaking
The Microbrand Atlas is an independent, hand-maintained record of independent watchmakers — where they're based, what they build, where their parts come from, and what you'll actually pay to get one shipped to you.
Import duties, explained
What you pay depends on the watch's tariff classification, its declared customs origin and the seller's shipping terms — not on where a parcel is posted from. We explain the current measures and link to the official sources instead of quoting you a figure.
