Aston is Bremont- A ‘high quality’, ‘British’ brand that’s full of foreign bits and depreciates faster than most alternatives.

Bristol would be something much less mass-market, like Harry Winston or Jaquet Droz

I’d say -

Honda = Citizen: oodles of mediocrity with occasional flashes of brilliance.
Toyota = Seiko: dreary, formulaic, vast confusing range, occasional flashes of adequacy + riffs endlessly on past glories.

Talking of riffing on past glories and ignoring current mediocrity, VW = Omega

Maserati= Breitling. Complicated, largely baffling, frequently unreliable but everyone has one model they wouldn’t mind owning.

You do know you can edit posts, right? Then again, the average Tag Heuer owner, like white van man, probably isn’t that bright.

They have bumper stickers that say My other watch is a Breitling…

The thing is… I lusted after Tag in the early 90’s during their ‘dont crack under pressure’ years.

Loved my F1 chrono that Dom eventually rejuvenated after the bezel fell off. Lusted after a Transit but then the number plate fell off.

I still love them both.
