Steinhart.... value for money.

[Ed.YEO]

... Mido, ... ... ... Titoni, ... ... ...

Generally, folks will have some ideas and impressions on these 2 brands except for those born after 2000. So i thinks it's okay to leave this 2 out of the list. You might want to add, Ernest Borel and Edox.

there are many more brands whose watches are amazing in their designs like fastrack an indian brand
junkers
zeppelin
paul picot
perrelet
revue thommen

Oh man.. there are 1000+ watch brands. Definitely more than half are lesser known or even unknown to us. But for good quality watch and yet not mainstream watches, I would suggest:
Christopher Ward
Steinhart
Mido
Glycine
Bulova

Up the scale:
Perellet
Alpina
NOMOS

[skydweller_sg]

still prefer the usual household brands like omega, breitling, panerai, zenith, iwc, cartier, rolex, blancpain and breguet
of course next tier up there's always patek, A lange & sohne, vacheron constantine, FP journe and audemars piguet, ie if you have the extra cash to spend

Stowa is also an interesting brand. Revived by Jorg Schauer, it was one of the 5 companies who made b-uhren (bomber pilot) watches for the German Lufftwaffe during WWII. The other 4 are Lange & Sonhe, IWC, Laco and Wempe.

Another one would be Alexander Shorokhoff, he was the watch maker who founder Poljot Int'l IIRC, has since started a new brand under his own name. Very interesting designs and one of the rare modern watch makers who incorporate mechanical alarm movements in watches of their price range.
