Beginner’s guide to Watch Brands

This is a basic beginners guide meant to very briefly go over the most common and notable watch brands found in every price point. We organize the brands based on tiers. But the watches are not placed in any particular order within each tier. This is not a complete guide to watch brands. It only includes the year founded, a brief note on what the brand is often known for in the watch collector world, and some (not all) of the popular models and product lines from each brand.

Good video but you missed Orient in the budget tear

[@the_vintage_reserve]

Orient is another great brand. The list of brands was just already too long for an introduction video and I couldn’t cover everything. I wished I could have included Rado, Nomos, Glashutte Original, Baume & Mercier, Montblanc, Frédérique Constant, De Bethune, Chopard, Piaget, Zodiac, Bell & Ross, Ebel, Ball, Doxa, Fortis, Urwerk, MB&F, and Gerard Perregaux too.

You forgot exclusive and expensive watch, brand name is Ball watch, official standard, railroad. Another's Japanese watches are Orient and Alba good quality watches

[@the_vintage_reserve]

Ball does make decent watches as well. I unfortunately couldn’t cover every brand there is since the video would have been hours long then.
