luxury watches brands list image
Thomas Kov
i usually get nixon watches or bulova watches. what watch companies have luxury watches but still under like 700 dollars?
Answer
Luxury watches are usually considered to be costlier than $700. I recently finished writing the 5th edition of my book about "The Costliest Watch Brands". The costliest brand overall now is Richard Mille whose cheapest watch, a basic steel sports watch, costs $70,000. His costliest now is a $660,000 tourbillon. The 2nd costliest brand is Patek Philippe that begins at $25,400 for a basic steel sports watch. Costliest now is a minute repeater-tourbillon-perpetual calendar that isn't priced but probably costs nearly a million bucks. Also in the 20 Costliest Brands are Roger Dubuis, F.P. Journe, Greubel Forsey, Franck Muller (whose $2,666,700 "Aeternitas Mega 4" is the most complicated wristwatch ever made with 1483 parts), A. Lange & Sohne, Concord, Jacob & Co., Parmigiani, Harry Winston, Vacheron Constantin, Piaget, Audemars Piguet, etc.
In recent watch magazines and almanacs, I see these brands have mechanical watches priced $449 to $700: BWC-Swiss, Deep Blue, Nivrel, Stowa, Tissot and Vostok.
More common in the price range you want are quartz watches priced $349 to $700 by Alfex, Boccia, Botta, Chronotech, Citizen, Ernest Borel, ESQ, Gc, Haemmer, Issey Miyake, Links, Luminox, Movado, Ocean 7, Pierre Junod, Reactor, Sector, Seiko, Swiss Military, Tissot, Victorinix, Vuarnet, Wenger and YES.
I've owned watches by Citizen, Movado, Sector, Seiko and Tissot, and I can testify that they are good. (I also own watches by Patek Philippe [1893, 1926 and 1995 models], Vacheron Constantin [1902, 1933 and 1994 models] and Piaget [1953 and 1979 models] that are great.)
EDIT- Shiraishi and Carlos listed some brands that cost more than the $700 maximum you want!
Epos, $1350 to $2550
Omega, $4400 to $35,200
TAG Heuer, $2700 to $9500 for sure and some not priced surely cost even more
Union, $1995 to $4795

Answer
Just to throw my two cents in... I would also add Tissot in that range if you buy online (not in stores). Tissot is Swiss made and is one of the entry level luxury watches in the Swiss made realm (they are owned by the Swatch Group).
BUT I will add... WHAT kind of watch are you looking for? A quartz or an automatic? If you want to start collecting.. you'll eventually need to cross that line from a quartz to a mechanical. In that range, Seiko makes a pretty affordable and realiable automatic. I would highly suggest checking out Orient watches as well. These are Japanese automatic watches, which are a huge bang for your buck.
For quartz... the Citizen Eco-Drive series. Such a solid quartz in that range and one of the best quartz systems on the market.
Research and dig through the forums at Watchuseek.com. I search there regularly but am no where near the expertise of those forum members. You will also definitely get the best deals online in the "grey market" as it's referred to (aka Amazon, Jomashop, etc..)
