GrailAtlasIndependent watch reliability, quality & value

Movement bestiary

Every caliber in the Grail Atlas catalog, classified into one of four tiers (plus the honest “unclassified” bucket). The tier is a small additive lift to the Reliability rating — never an overrule. Owner-verified data still dominates.

Manufacture (in-house)

Brand-designed, brand-produced. Service is brand-direct, expensive, and long. The market rewards these meaningfully.

Top-tier supplier

Widely-used high-end supplier movements (Eta 2892, Valjoux 7750, etc). Robust, well-understood, broadly serviceable.

Unclassified

Calibers we have not yet classified. Honest default rather than a guess.
