I think of it more as "grail models" than "grail brands".

For me it's a combination of both. The model has to be there for me to love it, because that's what your going to wear and look at when you wear it. But it's now just important to me that the brand excites me as well. I am looking for something with a bit of history, and what makes them special, what type of product are they known for producing, to what lengths do they go to in regards to the details and execution of the watch. It helps to fuel my passion just a bit.
