On second thoughts, this should satisfy the desire for a little dressy jazz-era sophistication, while acknowledging one’s inner Stronzetto, plus, it’s a Fortis, and they are simply fucking excellent, as @Jim will testify - Fortis Terrestris Hedonist:
There’s a dealer in Aus who can supply one new for under £700 (ex duty & tax) - it’s ~£1500 usually.
Nomos knock off
Nomos, est. 1990
Fortis, est. 1912
Or travel back to 1950 with this on your wrist as you drop a tall hat onto the turntable:
Fuck, I love this watch.
T K Maxx had it for £600 when you linked them way back. Should’ve snapped it up.
Nomos Tangente 1995
Fortis Terrestris Hedonist: 2015
Nomos knock off
Why would anyone bother knocking off a glorified microbrand whose entire design language was ripped-off from Junghans?
That’s a rhetorical question BTW, but do feel free to keep digging 
Yep it’s amazing how many brands have copied the clear looks of Nomos, especially as they are completely different to the Max Bill Bahaus Junghans stuff.
Nomos are only a young company, but actually have a clear and recognisable look. Still regret selling on one of the first Nomos in the UK when you could only buy them from Wempe on Bond Street.
If you are going to shout knockoff, at least pick something with a similar design language
So, one round watch with a big hand, little hand and markers/numbers around the edge of the face is a knock off of another round watch with a big hand, little hand and markers/numbers around the edge of the face?
Are you bored Kev? 
He genuinely has a point though. Everyone sells a copy of Nomos now
Fartis
Not half as bored as threads about minuscule differences of the same bloody Porsche.
At least watches come from different manufacturers 
But a lot cheaper.
Can’t see it myself, every design detail is different. Tbh the fortis has a look id associate more with your average 60s watch than the clean lines of the Nomos.
There’s a ton of German companies flogging Bauhaus-styled watches - everything from £90 Chinesium via Aristo, DuFa, LACO, Sternglas, Junghans, Bruno Söhnle, DeFakto, Stowa, Nivrel, FineWatchesBerlin (yes, it really exists), all the way up to Lange & Sohne, cos Germans invented the look, and Germans still love it. Predictably, there’s no real consensus on who did it first (I was sure it was Junghans…) but the most popular contender is Stowa with their Antea from the mid 1930s - still made today, albeit the original (right) is - as usual - the better design:
The B-word isn’t always used too much on the various websites, cos those cunning fuckers at POINTtec own the watch-related trademark -
