Great Watches without Great Names?

Come with me on a strange journey....


So, I'd like to pick the brains of everyone in here about Off-Brand watches that make top tier products. Here is my logic:

I am 26, I work in Home Loans, and make a decent living, but i'm certainly not making 300+ A year. The m3 is the largest flashy thing in my life currently. I'd like a classy watch ( No invicta's or junk) that has the quality of an Omega or mid-tier (3k-5k) Watch, but without the price point. I know I can't be the only person in the world who feels this way. I'd say Lum-Tec is an example of the brand i'm looking for? Though honestly i'm not sure.

I'm not a brand evangelist, though I have a deep passion for the Tag Monaco's.

I'd like something I can wear with a suit, or with slacks and a collared shirt.


All that having been said.

What are you favorite Watch Brand's that nobody has ever heard of? Bonus points if they're more cost effective, but I also am interested in hearing of esoteric brands in general.

For Example, one of my favorite "off" brands is JS Watches, based in Iceland. Way out of my budget, but amazing pieces.
