I feel American watchmaking is underrated, the quality, depth and history rivals the best globally. There is an old saying in Pakistan which I'll change a bit which goes like "Home made Baked Bean Chili beats a Ribeye Steak made by someone else" 😁, hope the rest the world recognizes the merit of these Great Watchmakers too.
