What do you think of the new (ish) in house stuff? I haven't paid enough attention since ETA started taking their ball and going home. Ultimately it'll make them a better company.
It pissed me off initially because I knew what the swatch group was doing. Ultimately I think it makes the watch industry better (and ultimately more expensive). Any in-house movement is going to be better if the time and effort is put into it.
And my definition of the good stuff is subjective. These are the brands I enjoy. Not necessarily what I own:
Breitling
Patek
Glashutte
Breguet
Omega
Baume
and a few others

What do you own? Sorry for all the questions. I just like a good watch convo. `
I'm about to head to lunch, but I'll share mine.
My first "real" watch was Brietling Superocean Steelfish. I sold it a few years ago. I'm not a big Brietling fan. 2nd watch was a Tag Carrera (CAR2111.BA0730). Another one I ended up selling. Outside of the Monaco Tag doesn't do it for me either. #3 is a gold Rolex Datejust. Its the watch a wore to my wedding so it has a special place in my heart. #4 was a the green Rolex Sub or "the Hulk". I needed a good sport/dive type watch in my collection since I sold the Superocean. I finally hit the big time with my next one a rose gold JLC master control. Its my baby. Since then I've picked up and sold a Speedy 861 from the 80s & a LE Monaco. Ended up settling and keeping a LE Speedy 50th Anny "Patches". My next target is a Nomos with their own swing system. Nomos is such an awesome brand. I only discovered them a few years ago.
Edit: I also just got passed down a Bulova L2 Squadron and a Bulova Accurtron from my grandfather who recently passed. Not exactly my style, but very meaningful.
