Let's play a game
Here is the scenario, you can only buy watches from one country. To make matters worse, the Swiss and Japanese industry has perished. Please choose one of the countries listed and if you like, share your favorite brands. Or if you have another country in mind (other than Swiss & Japanese), I would like to hear it. Have fun!

Started collecting watches in 2018, due to the sheer size of the collection... I started a little watch business on the side since 2020 to keep my wife happy.

Going German means you get Hanhart. I could live with a single Pioneer Chronograph.

Hanhart is a nice brand
Stowa, Laco, Lange, Muhle Glashutte, Nomos, Glashutte Original, Montblanc, Junghans, Sinn, and Hanhart. I could have a varied collection just from Germany

That is definitely a nice collection to have.
Germany - Lange, Nomos and Sinn. Easily a great 3 watch collection there.

I didn't even have to think about it... here's my new collection 😉
All are fantastic choices, especially the Lange. You have great taste.
Any brands in particular?
I do like Marc and Sons, so Germany. 😂

I almost went with Germany but with Squale U-boat and my favourite Echo/Neutra, Italy wins it for me.

I think they’re great. Currently got one of their field watches the Averau Big Moon.

Wow, I love the moon part. Does it actually tell you what stages of the moon in real life?

Yep it’s a proper moonphase complication. They’ve got a few varieties.

Sure you’ll enjoy it. I love mine.
Jawhol....
I'm by no means a flag waiving super "patriot", but I am really a fan of American watches. Currently hooked on Aragon. Islander, Shinola, Glycene and LumeTech are on the radar. My grail (lottery pending) is a RGM Pennsylvania Tourbillion.
France, followed by Italy, then USA, then Germany.
Why are so many choosing Germany? Just because of the german craftsmanship?
Because it shure ain't the beautiful designs .... (Bauhaus :vomit: )
OK: Hanhart and GO (especially the SeaQ) are pretty cool.

I like the arrangement, I'm assuming France first because of Cartier?
