Other than the recent Bel Canto from CW, the only one I'm aware of is the Bel Hora from Meistersinger.

Which is made by CW for Meistersinger.
It depends on what entry-level means to you. The Bel Hora isn't entry-level as far as price, starting around $4200, and the Bel Canto is trading around $10K on Chrono24 these days. Other than the electronic "chimes" on watches like Casio's, I don't know any at what I would consider an entry-level price. If someone does know, I will get one because I love them.

I wasn't aware of that - thanks for the info. Curious as to why they would have let Meistersinger introduce theirs over a year before their own.

I saw an interview with Mike France(CEO of CW), and he mentioned that they used the Meistersinger as a test of the movement. On the Meistersinger the movement is hidden behind the dial, so it was easier to make it work, but the Bel Canto required not just getting the sound right, but also getting the looks right.
To use chimes in a watch is very complicated. So the only "affordable" alternatives would be any Casio watch. 😉😎
