Luxury Watch brands.
What do you consider an entry level Luxury watch brand? Now I am not asking what the market say. What’s brands do you as an enthusiast consider entry level luxury?

I don’t know if I would call myself a watch collector. I am a watch fan and have had many watches over the years. Watches have always been something I enjoyed.

To me, every watch in my collection is a luxury. I’m grateful to own all of them.
I think it’s all relative I think Longines starts for me and scales up incrementally until it’s a luxury watch brand
Tissot

I agree that’s why I asked the question. I wanted to see where it went
For me personally, entry level luxury is a watch which won’t break the bank but you also feel like you’ve spent a good amount of money on the watch. This watch being of a recognised brand, not a designer one. Tissot, Seiko and Hamilton are the kind of brands I think of.
Hamilton / Bulova / Longines / Tissot / Seiko / Mido / Casio / Citizen / Orient / Formex / Certina / Marathon / Zodiac / Maurice Lacroix / Victorinox / Sternglas
I just went to teddy's and did a search of all brands and set the filter to $500-$1000. Which is a great place to start. To be honest you could set the filter even lower and you would still find a lot of great entry brands, including several that are on the list already. There are tons of micro brands that I would consider great entry level luxury, but that list would be much much longer. My strategy has been to just keep my eye on the WRUW posts and whenever I see something new I dive in and do some research. I have almost as much fun doing that kind of research as I do buying watches 🙂 .
