Ulysse Nardin, JLC, Vacheron....

There are so many, for me.

Ulysse Nardin because of their high sense of Innovation and Madness.

JLC, because they mix Innovation and Tradition in their watches, and they have an unbelievable Creativity.

Vacheron, because some of their watches are just exquisite.

Lange, of course! What's not to love!

G.O, an excellent choice.

Rolex; because their watches are build like a tank, and the pleasure on the wrist is awesome.

Longines: The old Stuff: The Diver, or the 30 CH / 13 ZN are so gorgeous watches.

Blancpain: The FF are pure pleasure!

Same for Panerai.

Breguet: A few of them are jewels.

Let's not forget some Independats, like Parmigiani and a brand I love a lot: De Bethune.

So many brands, at the end!

Best,

Nicolas

Another questionaire...

Alongside Patek Phillipe, what other brand would you rate as your favourite? I have two favourite brands. PP and JLC. I am curious which other make of watch a Patek owner would consider?

A. Lange & Sohne, Vacheron Constantin and F.P. Journe [nt]

If I missed or nobody mentioned Franck Mueller

By: Barsuk : June 8th, 2009-17:29

I would go for PF, Breguet, AP, Franck Mueller

If we are talking mainstream.................

By: Topcat30093 : June 5th, 2009-02:22

Then I would say FP Journe and Lange & Sohne. If we are talking about those independents that only produce only a dozen or so watches per year, then I would say Philippe Dufour, Kari Vountilainen, Romain Gauthier & Roger Smith to name just a small...

Lange is for me One of the very best. It's hard to beat what they do with the Datograph. *CL

I second CL's comments

Lange's finishing is amazing.

definitely casio!

By: ariarec : June 4th, 2009-17:16

Lange, FPJ, and Rolex

Hublot, Franck Muller and Rolex....

My choices

By: Dje : June 5th, 2009-02:21

Hi, My choices, those I like, not necessarily those I see as the best in whatever category: JLC, PP, GP, VC, Lange, DR, and some independants..... I would be tempted to add Eterna as I really like what they do, at a more modest level, and as I think they ...

I am surprised nobody mentioned Audemars Piguet

By: Axel1966 : June 5th, 2009-02:49

aren't they as close to Patek as the "others"?

Of course they are

By: Dje : June 5th, 2009-05:46

Hi, Of course AP is among the best brands in terms of technical prowess and superb finish, but in fact there is just no AP watch I want to own. I'm not too fan of the RO, I just appreciate the very simple models like the Jumbo and the (not so simple) skel...

My Choices

By: precisiontiming : June 5th, 2009-06:50

Lange, FP, GP, VC, Breguet, PP, Blancpain

AP

By: Baron - Mr Red : June 5th, 2009-06:52

I had a bet with myself about this. I suspected that men who were Patek owners would not be inclined towards AP. The other make I suspected would not feature was Breguet. It is nothing to do with the respective quality but rather as a Patek owner, would y...
