On this forum there is a lot of discussion about Rolex, Omega, Breitling and the like, but after a recent flight required a bit of reading I picked up a copy of International Watch magazine. Ignore the quality of the journalism, its like a big comic for watch loving adults. What i noticed on perusing the mag was there were a large number of watch brands we never really discuss, some of which looked quality.

Starting at the upper end there was Richard Mille - beautiful, but extremely expensive, and surprisingly not very old (i think).

Then i noticed some particularly lovely pieces by Jean Richard, followed by intriuging David Yurman, bit more on Breguet and Officina Del Tempo and Greubel Forsey, not to mention Concord.

I'll try and get some pics up but feel free to discuss as theres a whole word of watches out there rarely discussed.
