Ingersoll has a long and twisted history. The started supplying pendant watches and then moved into the dollar wristwatch space. There were owned and sold by Timex (as Waterbury Clock Company, before the Timex name). They were later associated with Smiths. They are historically known for Mickey Mouse watches. They are owned by a Hong Kong conglomerate now.
For 130 years they have been a budget watch. The benefit of occupying that space is that they are affordable. The downside is quality control issues and durability.

Ok . So ingersoll is down from the list for me .
Btw , does Orient make durable mechanical automatic watches for the affordable budget ? What are other reliable brands I should look into to buy an affordable yet qualityful & durable mechanical automatic watch ?

I have somehow "missed" the Orient phase of collecting. I have never owned one. I have only heard good things.
