Here are some watches that are around that price that are indies and have amazing finishes!!

Forgive the spelling, also, some of the names are their Instagram profiles because they do not have a lot of information online.

There are so many Instagram Brands that are making some really amazing watches and include some fellow WatchProSite people. Here are a few

What are the most beautifully finished independent watches under 30k USD?

 
 By: Cozmopak : April 15th, 2020-22:00
Not necessarily MSRP, but general grey market prices as well. Lang and Heyne comes to mind for me. ...  

Great question which I am excited to see the answers.

Laine comes to mind, which is well under $10k

the first Pascal Coyon .... 100%

the next one will be around 30K, still acceptable but the first was almost for free

For me, it would be

Kikuchi Nakagawa, Naoyo Hida, Moritz Grossmann, Kudoke (terribly good value for money), Urban Jurgensen, Lang & Heyne of course. The Murakamo by Kikuchi Nakagawa The 1B by Naoyo Hida The Benu 37 by Moritz Grossmann The finishing of the Benu is among t...  

I agree with you, Sham

Staring at Nakagawa's posts on IG of the hands he makes is a serious personal source of pleasure ...  

This could be my next watch!

'Could be'!!

These are excellent suggestions.

 
 By: Cozmopak : April 16th, 2020-00:07
Thank you. I absolutely love the Grossmann movements and their hands are exquisite. I just can’t get use to their logo.

Thank you my friend!

For you to say that means a lot as you are the King of Independents!

How about Gronefeld Principia?

 
 By: batholith : April 16th, 2020-00:54
It's in roughly that price range, as well.

Great Watch!

But I don´t think you will find a new PC under USD 30K? Best Thomas

At least 10 on chrono24 under the 30k with the cheapest full set at 18k.

They don't hold their value as I have learnt from personal experience. I could have bought 4 rolex kermits instead back in 2012. Where 1 now would be worth more than the moser.

New or used?

 
 By: MTR : April 17th, 2020-15:10
I don´t dare to look there... Best Thomas

Mainly new based in the US. I've used it many times

 
 By: Hulk : April 17th, 2020-15:18
and would recommend based on the trusted checkout. C24 hold the money if you get a dodgy watch, which i did once, fell for too good too be true. The money is returned to you. Mind you my 2 best friends are horologists, so they check all my buys. Maybe too... 

So.... I have been creating a list ...

Great list!

A lot of interesting pieces I didn't know of!

Wow.

 
 By: Cozmopak : April 16th, 2020-14:13
That’s a fantastic list. Many that I never heard of.

I especially love

 
 By: Cozmopak : April 16th, 2020-23:52
Qin Gan. I had read about him in the past. Beautiful work. I have no idea how to get a hold of him though.

One of my favorites...

The Kalpa Hebdomadaire from Parmigiani ...  

I love your Lang & Heyne!

 
 By: MTR : April 17th, 2020-08:09
Is it your´s? Lang & Heyne is definitely on my wishlist. I am just afraid what will happen now after Marco Lang has left the company and also how the crisis will influence smaller watch companies? But I think, a "standard" three-hand watch can be serviced... 

No, unfortunately.

 
 By: Cozmopak : April 17th, 2020-15:11
It was for sale at a Munich watch store a few months back and posted on chrono24. I still regret not buying it. It sold quickly. I’m not too worried about Marco Lang leaving the company. Maybe it will affect future value, who knows. The watch that I poste... 

Pascal Coyon + Josh Shapiro

 
 By: Cozmopak : April 17th, 2020-22:09
This is very crudely photoshopped, but I've been thinking that the pink dial on the new Pascal Coyon series would look great with Mr. Shapiro's infinity guilloche. ...  

MPakalnis - I completely agree 👍🏻

 
 By: Bounce781 : April 21st, 2020-03:11
- I have both a Coyon AND a JN Shapiro! Pascal’s finishing is fantastic and Shapiro dials are incredible. I received Joshua Shapiro’s Watch last week. Mesmerising!!! I’m just preparing a review of the Shapiro which I will share soon, but here are some pic...  

Spectacular!

Congratulations on that Shapiro!
