Horological Meandering

This has been on my hard drive for years -- thought it might spark some discussion here: Watch Brand Rankings ...  

Chronocentric had a better one.

Rolex should be in the top tier. They have as much heritage and history as any brand mentioned there, Again, just an opinion.

Whoever authored this list had an opinion. Probably a lonesome opinion in my estimation. 1. Antiquorum is a brand? I thought it was a defunct auction house that worked with criminals to liquidate stolen goods... 2. U-Boat is in the same level as Rolex? Ro... 

Much more fun is Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists... December 18, 2015 100: Lindsey Buckingham, Key Tracks: "Rhiannon," "Go Your Own Way" 099: Thurston Moore, Key Tracks: "Expressway to Yr. Skull," "Silver Rocket" 098: Alex Lifeson, Key...

... There is a name missing from tier 1a. Kari Voutilainen.

This chart is not doing a lot of watch companies and their fans justice. One of my favourite watch brand BALL watch is not inside... and omega and Rolex not at tier 1x? Rolex maybe arguable. But omega? Omega should also be in haute holorogy, I.e. 1x or ev...
