Hi r/watches!

As stated in the title, I am considering to obtain a watch in the US$20k range in the near future, and would like to find out more about watches in this price range.

I am currently leaning more towards the independent watchmakers so I would love to hear your recommendations, and find out about watchmakers (up-and-coming or not) that I have not heard of.

Some of the watches I have seen include Armin Strom, Felipe Pikullik, and others. Would love to find out more!

Thanks in advance!

Nonchalantly looking for a 20k watch without knowing what you want is such a flex.

finding out and learning of new watches is one of my favourite parts of this hobby. that was the main intention of this post lol, wasn’t intended to flex.

This section has a good list of brands. I'm partial to Ressence, although there are many even smaller watchmakers at this price range.

The grey market / preowned watches at 20k opens up a lot. Brands like Vacheron, A. Lange and Sohne, Patek, LUC Chopard XPs, and H. Moser

So you are hopping from a snoopy Timex to the Christophe Claret range of watches? 😂
