Damasko and Nomos. One for daily wear the other can be used as dress watch.

Adding on to the lesser known brands...

1. Freddy Constant / Alpina

2. Stowa with DUROWE (arguable)

3. Grand Seiko

4. Dornblueth (arguable for most movements, but new in-house movement costs EUR7k)

5. Damasko DK series

6. Zeitwinkel

Maurice Lacroix masterpiece series.
While most of their main line movements are ETA based, they do claim several as in-house.

Also the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec might just squeeze into the price range after discount.

If ETA movement and swatch both belongs to Swatch Group, does that make Swatch watches inhouse movement? wahahaha

Chopard LUC Mark III is a steal for a highligh finished movement with gold micro rotor.
