    I love that you've put Seiko so high. They're a brand that get so many people into watches in the first place and anywhere from £200-1000 they offer so much choice and value, from the Seiko 5, the Alpinists, the Sharp Edge, the insane amount of divers as well.They deserve credit for just getting people into the hobby while actually being attainable and affordable for most people.

    @Eric Bishard who is talking about luxury? He is talking about getting into a hobby of enjoying quality watches. I am dumping my POS apple watch and getting back to traditional watches with a Casio gshock and a Seiko. I don't care if they are not consider luxury. They are way better than that piece of garbage I mistakingly bought to become one more sheep in the conference room.

    That was a surprise. But can’t argue with their importance. I mean they’re spread of very affordable to fairly expensive is kinda unique, their quality/value for money is crazy, tons of heritage, lots of hits, and movements have been in house for a very long time (long before it was “hip”) again at really affordable prices.

The only thing I have to deduct them for are the JDM models being JDM. There are some crazy nice watches that totally would sell like hot cakes internationally but for some reason they just don't release them outside of Japan.

    Exactly. Their ratings are chosen to be contentious, and to attract comments. I think your top tier list is correct. Leaving brilliant but small makers (R.Smith, FPJ, etc.) out of the equation, my order would be, Patek, Breguet, Lange, VC, and AP. Most enthusiasts have not seen a Patek or Breguet up close, in the hand. That's when the breath-taking reality of true high horology begins to dawn. Alas (thank goodness) they are (reassuringly) expensive. Cheaper, bombproof alternatives such as Rolex and Omega are better everyday user watches. High horology wearers smile knowingly when Rolex folk roll up their sleeves in hope of being noticed.

    As a mid-tier enthusiast, of those 22 (!) - my ranking is: 1. Seiko (same as Watchfinder: 1), 2. Patek Philippe (3), 3. Jaeger-LeCoultre (6) 4. Grand Seiko (8), 5. A. Lange & Söhne (4), 6. Rolex (2) 7. Omega (same, 7), 8. F.P. Journe (9), 9. Breguet (19 ... ?) 10. Vacheron Constantin (6), 11. Audemars Piguet (21 ... ?), 12. IWC (same, 12) 13. TAG Heuer (20), 14. Tudor (15), 15. Breitling (14) 16. Cartier (10), 17. Longines (same, 17), 18. Zenith (same, 18) 19. Tissot (16), 20. Panerai (13), 21. Richard Mille (11), 22. Hublot (same, 22). Overall, this is a nice but tricky exercise, also very much depending on the weight you give to the various criteria Watchfinder are using here (1. value for money, 2. quality, - 3. history / heritage, 4. number of iconic watch models, 5. "street cred"). For me, the first two (value (at retail prices) and quality) are much more important than the other three criteria. This may explain the main differences I have with Watchfinder: - significantly higher: JLC (3 vs 6), GS (4 vs 8), Breguet (9 vs 19), AP (11 vs 21), (TAG) Heuer (13 v 20) - significantly lower: Rolex (6 vs. 2), Cartier (16 vs 10), Panerai (20 vs 13), RM (21 vs 11). The fact that excellent value-for-money German brands like NOMOS, Glasshütte Original and Sinn are still missing from Watchfinder's list tells me there needs to be another sequel ..., maybe expand this list to 30?! Cheers!

    A bit transparently trolling, this video. Clearly they want to create some uproar just for engagement. No-one would seriously put Seiko at the top. Or even Cartier that high, as it is still such a luxury brand despite its history and a few nice watches. And Panerai up that high? Clearly trolling. Oh, and Audemars Piguet way down low is just a step too far even for jokingly trolling lists.

    @Bensmite Herro a few comments: The majority of people don't care one bit about watches beyond telling the time, I know people who are very well off financially and wear a Timex or another budget watch. The idea that people only wear cheap watches because they can't afford 'better' is BS. The people I know who do have a luxury watch mostly bought it because it's what is expected in their circles, they could not tell you anything about the watch beyond the price and that it's gold. Personally I can appreciate both a luxury dress watch and a far cheaper Casio G-Shock that can take a beating and handles time zones and daylight saving time correctly so I know what time (and date) it is in Melbourne or Chennai. Both have their uses.

    Pretty satisfied with Panerai placement as many people hate on them for (partly) using ETA movements but for the price they are really fair. Not satisfied with Hublot though. 😃 Don’t like the ETA models for 10-15k, but their in-house movements are really decent.

    It's interesting that you would place Longines just below Tissot. Hmmm..... none the less, a tough decision. Here's a kicker....in my opinion I would have placed ORIS above Tssot ! (noting ORIS is conspicuously absent...in my humble opinion.) I see Tissot as I see Seiko....and I would have the latest greatest Tissot Seastar 1000 Pro....over the best Seiko has to offer. I just love the casework finishing and dial and and ....color and ...etc Regarding ORIS....I can kind of see how perhaps it's just not their time yet. Though ORIS is on the move. (and yeah, I'm an ORIS fanboy with two in my collection). Finally....where is Blancpain? So that's it and that's all I wanted to say thanks...... And as for my humble addiction....I owe it all to you guys and Jody over at "just one more watch".... Your two channels were my first introduction to horology and the joys of owning just as many bloody watches as one can afford responsibly...Fun stuff indeed ! We're all grateful that you're out there. Thanks a lot. Be well.....peace. Carl, the gafferboy38

    the zoomed in view of the vacheron doesn’t do it any favours, you can see light scratches on the markers and hands, the edges of both of those aren’t sharp as there are bumps and nicks. And the lume bits are poorly applied. For a luxury brand you’d expect the dial (the part you look at the most) to be free of these flaws

    Love the video but Seiko is NOT a luxury brand and should not be on this list. Breguet is disrespected. I’m not even a fan of their watches but as a brand they cannot be below Tudor and Longines, or even Panerai or Breitling. I’d slot them in right under IWC. I’d also swap Cartier and IWC, with Breguet between IWC and Cartier.

A brand that has so many iconic models, so much cred, is extremely recognisable not to mention (mostly) extremely affordable and in many ways (in my opinion) has rewritten the rules in modern horology. Yet, let us all turn our noses up in derision because they are all quartz. That brand is of course Casio..👍
