What’s the best hand wind watch?
I really like the idea of hand wind watches, but it’s hard to find one other than Hamilton mechanical. Any suggestions?

lorier falcon is a total sleeper if you want that vintage vibe without the hamilton price tag.
Baltic MR01 is a total beauty if you want to get your daily workout in via the crown.
Look at the Farer Stanhope or their other manual models. They use top-grade Sellita movements that feel way smoother to wind than a basic Hamilton.
Traska just released a manual wind version of the Venturer that feels way more robust than a Khaki. My Nodus is an auto, but for value in a manual, the Baltic Bicompax is hard to beat since the Seagull movement keeps the case profile impressively thin.
Arg - I've heard good things about the Seagull handwinding movement. Apparently, it's used in a few micro brands, and I've recently seen it in the Boderry Voyager Chronograph, which I've had my eye on for a while.
