What I find an even more interesting (and harder) question is: what watch on someone’s wrist who doesn’t have the money to spend more than $1000 on watches would signal that they are really into watches.
Seagull 1963, definitely. The Russian crap too. SKX007. Hamilton?
Christopher Ward, Baltic, Seiko Presage or Alpinist lines, Studio Underdoog…really any microbrand almost by definition requires some research and isn’t an impulse “mall brand/luxury store brand” purchase
