Pierre Richardson: A Vacheron Constantin Alternative?

With all the economic uncertainty for those of us in the tech sector, it can be difficult to justify the purchase of a full-fledged luxury watch. But, Christmas is right around the corner and it might be nice to add something to the watch box. There are three Asian-made brands that I'm currently keeping an eye on that might scratch the luxury itch without causing financial distress.  These brands are Pierre Richardson, Roberto Marino, and Cristiano Aillen. As far as I can tell, these are all names created for marketing purposes. But, when it comes to watches selling for less than $150, quality, functionality, and looks are the real keys. In this post, let's examine the Pierre Richardson PR4311.

The first watch to check out is the Pierre Richardson PR4311. This brand is a creation of the Israeli company, Orlando Watches.  This model has a 42mm diameter case and a Japanese quartz movement.  Looking at the bezel and dial, this watch appears to be an homage to the famed Vacheron Constantin Overseas. However, the Overseas has an integrated bracelet and it looks like the Pierre Richardson has a bracelet that can be conventionally changed.

For this reason alone, the Pierre has a decisive advantage over the Vacheron Constantin. Plus, for those of you who are financially focused, you can save an easy $30,000. The Pierre Richardson comes in at about $150 and there are coupons on Amazon that can knock that price down substantially.  There are currently three color combinations for this watch on Amazon (silver, gold, and black).  You can start with this stainless look for this Pierre Richardson watch here at my Amazon affiliate link.

For 2025, Bulova has plenty of  great Amazon Black Friday Deals. I found several that you can jump on to save serious money during this holiday season! These deals are good from now through the end of Black Friday week (November 20th through November 28th).

The Bulova Men's Classic Automatic

First up, the Bulova Men's Classic Automatic (below) is 57% off! It has luminous hands, a 21-jewel automatic movement, hack feature, aperture dial, and exhibition caseback.

Bulova Aerojet Automatic

I've been lusting after this watch since I first saw it and gave it a sharp watch shout out in 2024. For awhile, the blue ones were out of stock on Amazon. Now, it's back!

Sharp Watch Shout Out: Caravelle Sea Hunter

Like many watch companies, Bulova has been reaching deep into their historical trove of watch models and designs for inspiration and cool watches to modernize and re-issue.  One such watch is the Caravelle Sea Hunter. An iconic design from the 1960s, it has returned with a modern Miyota 8215 automatic movement. This modern Sea Hunter is a 39mm diameter watch with a 42-hour power reserve and 200-meters (666 feet) of water resistance. The watch has a domed crystal and an antique lume look. I think it looks great and that's why it gets a sharp watch shout out!

If you want to swap bracelets or straps, this Caravelle has quick release spring bars. You can find this one with the gold tone stainless steel case and greeen dial here at my Amazon affiliate link.  I have seen genuine vintage Caravelle Sea Hunters on auction sites at prices up to $4000! In comparison, this one is a steal at under $300.

You can also find variants of watches at other online outlets. I've seen versions with leather straps and more traditional stainless steel tone and various other retailers and jewelry stores. Caravelle is positioned as an affordable brand and JC Penney has a very nice rubber strap version for sale online.

TGIF: Will Tariffs Drive Watch Enthusiasts Back Towards Quartz Timepieces?

With tariff laws changing in the United States and trade rivalries being renewed, the price of watches--especially Swiss watches--seems to be climbing steadily. As a watch enthusiast, I'm not seeing quite as many great deals on Swiss-made mechanical watches. In some cases, the price difference between a quartz watch and a mechanical watch is truly significant. With all the challenges in the job market and in dealing with inflation and economic uncertainty, it's enough to make me wonder if it's worth it to postpone mechanical watch purchases in favor of a more affordable quartz version.

Comparing Tissot Gentleman Mechanical and Quartz Watches

For example, let's consider the venerable Tissot Gentleman in mechanical and quartz varieties. Take the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Automatic (above). It's a beautiful watch. It has 100-meters of water resistance and an 80 hour power reserve. But, it costs nearly $1000 on Amazon. You can examine it here at my Amazon affiliate link. It's perfectly proportioned at 40mm in diameter and 11.5mm thick. But, for about half the price, the Tissot Gentleman in quartz is a noteworthy adversary.

Tissot Gentleman Quartz Watch

In quartz, you get a very similar style. There aren't sub-second markers between the second or minute markers. It doesn't have a chrome box around the date. But, the case and bracelet are nearly identical. The quartz model has a 40mm diameter case that is slightly thinner at 8.52mm thick. Like the automatic, the quartz watch has 100-meters of water resistance. However, it comes in at just under $500. That's a $500 savings over the mechanical version. You can see the Tissot Gentleman in Quartz on Amazon here.
