Probably Sinn, Archimede, Laco, Stowa, Damasko, M.A.T, Forban, the list can easily continue but basically any brands that needs some research to be known and wont be known by an instagram ad of some sort

(IMO the price of a watch doesnt attest of any knowledge or interest as everyone knows Rolex and Omega but few know about Vostok)

Sinn. It's like a secret society. If you know, you know.

I believe the word you are looking for is ‘cognoscenti’

[–] HardlyAnyGravitas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

From the Latin meaning 'the smell of cogs'.

But also Soviet watches are garbage hahaha. Still want a Vostok Amphibia.

I gifted my brother who's a non watch guy a vostok scuba dude and an skx. He just wears them without knowing anything about watches and gets stopped here and there by fellow enthusiasts thinking he's a watch nerd lol.
