Thorn
Founded no public date · China
Thorn makes compact mechanical watches with upper-mid-range movements, and shares its origin and its catalogue with Tactical Frog. Several of its references are the same piece under a different name.
History
No public documentation. What is verifiable is that its reference numbers and its designs match Tactical Frog's, and that it fits PT5000 movements — a well-regarded Chinese clone of the ETA 2824 — and Miyota rather than the cheaper NH35. Its cases are small for the genre: 38 and 40 millimetres.
Iconic models
T003
An automatic with the PT5000, the best-known reference.
Worth knowing
The PT5000 movement it fits is a Chinese clone of the Swiss ETA 2824, and one of the few the community reckons a match for the original.
