Those are great brands, but the person who is going to drop £1500-3000 on a (beautiful) Nomos is fundamentally not the same as the person who's going to spend $12 on a no-name watch, whether that's on the watch itself or on shipping. No way. I hate to recommend them because, as far as I'm concerned, they're on the same spectrum as the scammers in some sense[1], but if you do like that style of watch and you're willing to spend maybe a hundred dollars (probably less, used, or in a sale) MVMT might be the brand to go for. And I've seen ASOS selling Bauhaus style watches for as little as £25. [1] I don't love MVMT because in their marketing it's pretty clear that they're claiming to be something they're not - i.e., a "real" watch company with some actual heritage - as opposed to what they are, which is an affordable fashion brand.
