If you want a brand new rabbit hole to dive down look at vintage. My first Oris (1998) and second Omega (1970) are both vintage and are gorgeous and very well priced.

Check out Shinola if you want more American involvement in the watch making.
I'd consider taking Seiko out of the bang for the buck tier based on prices I've seen recently.
