I recentley found alot of the same watches from alot of Companies Like:
Carl von Zeyten, Stührling, Ingersoll, and a Company wich is called Quantum. They are all priced over 200€ or slightly under 200€.
I'm now Interested because of it what Kind of movement this is.

Almost certainly a Seagull movement.
I can't say anything about the movement.
Also the brand is completly unknown to me. They call themselfs "Black Forest Watches". But I never heared of even I'm born there. In their website they tell a story about a guy named Carl von Zeyten and that he lived in the 18 hundrets in the town of Freudenstadt. It's my old neighboring town. If he would had exist I would had heared about him.
I made a quick research.
There is an article from a local news paper writing that this brand uses fictional persons biography and name as a marketing gag to sell the watches. The name type "von" is a royal rooted. In the 18 hundrets no royal would had worked as a craftsman 😉 . That's completly nonesense. Also the name "Zeyten" is just another wrong way of the word "Zeiten", which means "Times" 😂. But the article blames the brand for also missusing the village name Eisenbach. The news article is from 2016. But today I can't read anything on their website. It seems they changed their story :-). The company is legaly located in Bühl. But I don't know any company who produces watches in Freudenstadt or Bühl. Not as their own brand and not as private labeling.
So the Person Carl von Zeyten never exists.
The story is fictional.
The place of production is unclear.
The "1889" is a lie.
I doubt that the watch is even right labled as "Made in Germany".
Another (unprofessional advertisement) article a seller of these watchbrands said that "they often uses Seiko movements". ...."often"....Which unspokendmeans some are Seiko the rest might be chinese.
On a german forum some guys discusted about their movements.
On few models they spotted chinese Seagul movements.
But on this watch with this complication I have no idea.
I see that the prices ar little less than 400.
I can't tell you what you should do with your money. If you have to work and spend your time for earning I wouldn't recommend. I guess their are produced for 30 bucks in Shegzhen. If you really like the style and design, go for it. As an alternative I can recommend you Kronsegler. They are also for around 350 but at least they are using reliable Miyota movements for their automatics and Seiko for quartz.
Another alternative in this price range is Laco. It's a real Black Forest watch maker from Pforzheim. Their basic line Flieger watches like the Aachen or Blaue Stunde costs less than 400 and it's an original first class watch.

Ok, thank you I was only Abel to Find an 4year old Interview with the owner from the Company.
I have a couple of automatic Stuhrlings. They are hard to tell what kind of movement they are. They appear to be either Miyota or Chinese. They are dressed up to look pretty. They work fairly well so I have no complaints.

All fine. If you like it it's ok. I only wanted to let you know what you would buy. So if you like the design and you are not afraid of if the watch gives up after few months or years, go for it. But don't trust the story and their branding and calculate it for your self of what you are willing to pay.
P.s. I just saw your tag "Stührling". But this brand name is "Carl von Zeyten".
