The following three categories (in alphabetical order, including French, German and British brands, excluding Japanese and Russian brands):
AERO Arrow (V): middle and low-grade brands, mainly mechanical products (ETA), a considerable number of pocket watch products, and limited works of high-grade antique movements.
ARISTO Aristo (V): Germany's low-end brand, mainly cheap ETA mechanical products, sports routes, with its own small pendulum automatic movement.
Atlantic Atlantic (V): In recent years, low-end brands have revived, mainly ETA mechanical products.
August Raymond (formerly known as Alsa Alsa, V): a low-end brand, taking the fashion design route, mainly the products of ETA Yishi.
Bomei company. MERCIER Beaumont Messer (Shi Ming, IV): Mingshi is a good mid-range brand (originally ranked lower). Now it mainly focuses on transforming ETA machinery and timely movement, and adheres to the fine tradition of fashion design of watches.
BOVET Bauvita (Weber IV): Weber experienced the process of an intermediate pocket watch-a low-grade watch-a high-grade watch. In recent years, it has been packaged into a large number of high-end brands, pocket watches are left behind, and the functional models are complex, mainly relying on outsourced movements. Enamel surface is a very distinctive variety, which is very destructive to Asian watch fans.
BREGUET (IV): One of the few top brands in this ranking, it was once down and out, but China's ranking was still too low (because there were no good styles at that time, only things packaged by general roughing machines came in). Today's Breguet is not what it used to be, and it is also the most brilliant period of its watch development. It bought LEMANIA as the royal core factory, and a considerable number of complex styles are first-class workmanship and first-class products.
Breitling Breitling (4): Breitling was also ranked low in that year, for the same reason as Breguet. After the rebirth, it cooperated with the top technical watch factory, mainly focusing on the traditional characteristics of flying watches. It is a medium and high-end watch brand that produces a full range of sports watches.
CANDINO Candino (V): Low-grade watch brand, mainly products of timely ETA machinery company.
Xuetie Na (IV): Low-end fashion sports watch brand, mainly ETA Machinery and Timely.
Minister's consultation (3): low-end fashion brands, ETA timely products.
DELBANA Delpena (IV): Low-end timely brand.
DOXA Road Sprinkler (III): Low-grade brand, ETA mechanical timely product, and mechanical diving watch has been introduced in recent years.
Eberhard (III): A mid-range but rather unpopular mechanical watch brand, the popular long-power R&D tide in previous years arose from this small brand, and another representative chronograph CHRONO4 is also refreshing. In history, Yibaike technology is not weak, so it is rare to maintain vigorous vitality and creativity for so many years.
EDOX ADOS (IV): low-end fashion brands, cheap machinery or timely products. There is a classic world timetable in history, but in recent years, the replica version uses the timely core.
Emkai Imka (V): German low-end brand, focusing on ETA mechanical timely products and focusing on watch design.
ENICAR INEGAR (IV): The timely product of ETA machinery, a low-grade brand acquired and assembled by Hongkong, was once the most familiar product of China people. At that time, the quality of Innag was quite good, and compared with plum blossom, it ranked lower in the four categories.
Ernest Borel Ebelor (3): The main brand is ETA Timely, which was operated by Hong Kong earlier.
FAVRE-LEUBA Fifreiber (4): It seems that it was bought in the Netherlands, and I don't know what to do.
FORTIS Fortis Fortis Fortis Fortis Fortis (IV): In terms of the quality of its sports watches in that year, it ranked lower among the four categories. Now it is a mid-range brand that still focuses on sports watches and ETA timepieces, and has made great achievements in the field of flying watches. The alarm clock chronograph developed in cooperation with independent watchmaker PAUL GERBER is the first in the world, and it is also a rare new technology of mid-range movement in recent years.
Gillard-Perego Chirapak (Bai Zhi III): After the tide, Bai Zhi rose rapidly by reorganizing the tourbillon of Sanjinqiao. In recent years, great achievements have been made in the field of movement development, except for a small number of timing movements that need to be outsourced, which are basically self-made. Complex functional design is always jaw-dropping and has become an out-and-out high-end brand.
GUINAND Gaianda (V): This brand is now in the hands of Mr. Helmut SINN, the founder of German Sinn, and it should be a low-end brand mainly based on ETA mechanical sports models.
Hanhart (German Grade 6, Grade 2): This brand was a very good brand in West Germany in those days. It has its own timing technology and alarm technology, and it is also a watch that the military and intelligence agencies often buy. Now it belongs to the middle end, mainly transforming the ETA timing core, recreating the World War II flight table, retaining the original faucet design, and being addicted to military watches.
Haibei, Hebei (V): Low-end small brands, and some ETA mechanical quartz watches, pocket watches and the like. Such a small company is not easy to go bankrupt.
TAG Heuer Luxury (3): Luxury was once the most famous sports watch brand. After being acquired by TAG company, it increased its publicity. Is a mid-range brand that produces all kinds of sports watches, mainly ETA movements, and also cooperates with factories such as Guinness. In addition to watch design, it gradually began to try to develop the movement.
INVICTA (IV): Low-end brand acquired by the United States, which pays attention to diversified design and has a large market. At present, it has gradually formed its own creative style.
OWISSA zoo weisa(III): Low-end fashion brand.
Jun Hans Baoxing (German Grade 6, Grade 2): Baoxing was once the soul of watchmaking in West Germany. Now the Germans are still praising it. In the past, it had its own technology, participated in the competition with Swiss watches, and had a wide variety of products. Timely is a low-grade brand, mainly focusing on timely products, and occasionally reappears some classic mechanical watches (low-grade ETA movements). Radio wave atomic table is the main characteristic variety at present.
KIENZLE is willing to come (second class in Germany): It has always been famous for its clocks and watches, and its alarm clocks are everywhere in German flea markets. Typical mass products, watches are also very common. At present, it is still a low-grade brand, mainly in time.
Lip ·LEEP (French Grade II): Generally speaking, Lip's classic watches are not of high quality, but they are the owners of the most classic avant-garde designs. Research alone can produce a book. Now, LIP is a low-end fashion brand in time. Of course, the most classic Mach 2000 model must have a copy.
MILUS Miuliu (V): a low-end fashion brand, mostly jewelry and women's models.
Minerva Goddess of Wisdom (V): How wrong the five categories were. This brand is of good quality and excellent timing technology. Among the five categories, it is probably the only one with its own core at present. TIMEZONE gave it a high evaluation. After all, in the era of "global movement", it is really rare to have its own technology, and it is a mid-range brand.
MONDIA (IV): French low-end fashion sports brand, ETA mechanical timely products.
NIVADA Niveda (V): Asia buys and assembles low-end brands, mainly timely products, which are only common in China.

OLMA olma (IV): Asia buys and assembles low-end brands, ETA machinery timely products.
ORFINA (5): low-end brand. In the1970s, it was famous for Porsche designing watches. It was purchased by the military in bulk, and the original idea of modeling the pilot watch of the German and NATO air forces now came from this. After 1978, the partnership ended, and Porsche Design formed an alliance with IWC-Ofena to independently produce sports military watches, and founded the Royal Navy brand, using LEMANIA or ETA movements. In addition, the trademark logo was found to belong to five other brands, Rofina.
Oris Hollysys (V): a mid-range brand. In the past, Hollysys homemade movement had a good reputation, and it was also a good hand at holding the Observatory. In recent years, it is relatively high-profile in the middle and low grades, famous for transforming ETA2836, and its product style is very unique. It has always been considered as a good choice for entry-level mechanical watches. The move to upgrade the grade will inevitably give people some uneconomical feelings.
Paiyas Pias (V): Good quality, low ranking. Now we buy low-end brands in Asia, mainly timely products.
PRONTO Bailangduo (V): Asian assembly low-grade brand, mainly low-grade ETA mechanical products, lacking new models.
RADO Radar (V): a mid-range fashion brand, which is a thoroughly reformed original brand in Switzerland. Eta's timely products are the main products, taking an avant-garde design route and being famous for using high-strength space ceramic materials on the watch case.
REVUE Thommen Soman (III): a mid-range brand, featuring ETA movement and flight watch style. Previously, the same group of Volu watch cores were used. At present, we are gradually developing and excavating traditional domestic sports.
ROAMER Rome (III): A low-end brand that has made a high-profile comeback in the past two years has been producing low-end ETA core watches since it was acquired. Now some antique movements (low grade) in stock have been used, and the styles have been obviously improved.
RODANIA Rodona (IV): Low-end fashion brand.
ROTARY Rotara (Rotary, V): low-end fashion brand, ETA low-end machinery or timely products.

Sigma Sigma (IV): low-end brands, ETA mechanical or timely products, elegant watch design.
STOWA (Germany Sixth Class, Second Class): a mid-range mechanical watch brand, which uses not only ETA movement but also German antique DUROWE manual movement, and features traditional flight watches, because the most brilliant stroke in STOWA's history is to become one of the five major manufacturers of B-UHR watches used by the German Air Force in World War II (the other four are Lange, IWC, Wimp and Laco).
SWIZA Suizhan (V): a middle and low-end brand, besides watches made of ETA mechanical chronograph movement, it mainly produces watches with independent core technology, and the famous one is the 8-day-chain mechanical small travel clock (with calendar, moon phase, spring striking and watch alarm function).
TIMEX Michaels (Timex, Friday): a low-end fashion brand, and an electronic product that focuses on popular culture.
UNION (V): This brand should have nothing to do with the current German brands. German brands were founded in the era of pocket watches, and Glashü tte's watchmaking level is not as good as five kinds of watches. I don't know if GO has made a deal with Swiss brands after its rebirth. The only thing I know is that there is only one trade union now, so I can list it here. GO brand, mid-range, completely own mechanical movement, with advanced and complicated watches.
LOWAR (iv) of West Watch Company: low-grade brand, timely product of ETA machinery. WYLER Wheeler (III): a low-end fashion brand, focusing on ETA timely products and taking the design route.
Maye Mustang (French Grade 6, Grade 2): a low-end fashionable and timely brand, which was not a good watch at that time.
Zodiac Zodiac Sudia (3): The United States acquired low-end brands, ETA machinery or timely products, and retained the traditional rough sports style (the sea wolf diving money in those years was really classic). Two years ago, it wanted to take the lead in the field of mechanical watches.
