Favorite German brand less than $5k

[Mediocre]

Many great choices, set the $5k ceiling to keep this from becoming a Lange thread lol

I will reserve my opinion until some responses file in, so as to not lead the witnesses

So far I have owned Sinn, Tutima, Muhle, Nivrel, Schaumburg, and Archimede

Looking forward to the discussion to learn what I should try next!

My order of preference from usual suspects: Nomos, Damasko, Stowa.

Respectable choices! I have never owned any of the 3. If someone had to choose 1 to add, which would you recommend?

I've only owned dievas and nomos. I loved my nomos - great product brand, and superb value. The dievas was cool, but I don't do huge dive watches any more... But if you like that kinda thing then why not.

Depends on what kind of piece you need. Below my personal favorites.
