  • There are plenty of other American watch brands that offer high end timepieces that could easily compete with Swiss brands, but you’d have to dig a little bit deeper, as they aren’t so well known.

    Long Island Watch Co.'s Islander Watch brand also needs mention! I own two and can attest to their quality and value.

  • @mdunawaym
    @mdunawaym Před rokem +8

    Vaer is making some fantastic watches too.

  • @Celebmacil
    @Celebmacil Před rokem +11

    Bertucci probably warrants a mention here for their exceptionally durable and reasonably priced field watches.

      Much more so than shinola and I'm from metro Detroit

  • @garythomas3150
    @garythomas3150 Před rokem +5

    How did Monta not make the list? Especially considering that both Ball and Hamilton are on the list. Ball and Hamilton are Swiss owned, Swiss operated, and manufactured in Switzerland.

  • @BobbyRagnar
    @BobbyRagnar Před rokem +8

    Nice. But Vaer deserves a place on the list.

    • @WatchesYouAfford
      @WatchesYouAfford  Před rokem +1

      It didn't make our top 20 but when we update the article on our site we'll surely include them as well. And maybe make a new video with other recommendations.

    You forgot to mention Islander Watches ! That's where the quality is in every little thing and the love for the watch.

      Well, as good as their products are they are most more appropriately considered as an homage-maker and not an actual brand that creates their own designs.

  • @swirlcrop
    @swirlcrop Před 10 měsíci +1

    Thanks for the great video. These are some very nice watches.

    @chrisenchemin7183 Před rokem +5

    Thanks for this vid. And especially for introducing me Resco Instruments, Kobold and RGM Watch Co., 3 brands that I did not know.
    Perhaps you could have replaced Hamilton, which is now more Swiss than American, with Vaer on your list.

    • @WatchesYouAfford
      @WatchesYouAfford  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for your suggestion. For us Hamilton still is, at its heart, an American brand, even though they moved to Switzerland in 1969.

      Resco is amazing! I own 2, and they have the absolute best customer service!

    My Resco watches are amazing. So great to see them get some love.

    America has/had great watches, I own a Bulova Accutron Spaceview,great watch still working fine after nearly 60 years, a Tornek-Rayville mil-ship vintage, an electronic red LED Wittnauer, a few electric Timex and a Pulsar P4, all are amazing watches.
    MKII are also very nice and relatively "cheap" for the quality,
    Brew are also very nice watches,

    I see that you did your homework, though I had to wait to the end to see it. I said if RGM Watch Company isn't on the list then something is mighty wrong with the video. Thanks for the video.

  • @EfieldHfield_377
    @EfieldHfield_377 Před 10 měsíci +1

    WOW i had no idea. Should have included price point.

  • @17cmmittlererminenwerfer81

    This channel is called "Watches You Can Afford" and they're highlighting $6500 watches.
    Should be called "Watches who can afford?"

    • @WatchesYouAfford
      @WatchesYouAfford  Před rokem

      This series of articles & videos about watch brands is not only about affordable watchmakers. We tried to include both affordable and more high-end options to get an idea about which are the most important watchmakers from each country. We have lots of different videos on our channel with affordable watch recommendations.

      That is why I wonder why the didn't mention Aragon from Florida. Affordable and original design.

  • @MichaelFischetti
    @MichaelFischetti Před 11 měsíci +1

    Although it may not be considered "high end" Aragon is made in Miami Florida

  • @user-wy5gt9cj2c

    @dickb2128 Před 10 měsíci

    Co at the end of the name of a watch maker is company so when you see RGM Watch Co, it is RGM Watch Company, no RGM Watch KOH......

  • @darthgiggity7948
    @darthgiggity7948 Před rokem +1

    A bunch of them say Swiss Made right on them

  • @RegNarnoc21
    @RegNarnoc21 Před rokem +1

    Why do these American watch’s have Swiss made on them..

    • @dannysimenauer5745
      @dannysimenauer5745 Před rokem +2

      Because the brands were produced in America, then moved production to Switzerland.

  • @michaelbedford8017
    @michaelbedford8017 Před 10 měsíci

    It's amazing that none of these watches contain american designed and made calibers.
    Any fool can make the rest.

  • @gtracer6629
    @gtracer6629 Před rokem +3

    Funny how you are talking about American watches and yet you have a British accent. Couldn't you find an American to do this video?

    • @darthgiggity7948
      @darthgiggity7948 Před rokem

      North Americans and British people are of the same ethinicity. They just speak with different accents and/or dialects, and sometimes language.
