Not the usual suspects Rolex Sub-AP Royal Oak etc etc, but other watches and brands that have been copied and have inspired others.The ones that i put on my list are those that i think have changed the watch industry not because they were big sellers but because of the influence they have had on the watch industry and watch making.This is my list it would be intresting to see others.In no particular order of merit.
1 Richard Mille-His use of space age new materials in watches inspired brands like AP-Hublot etc
2 Ulysse Nardin-Dr.Ludvig Oechslin. With their series of Astrolabium Galileo-Planetarium-copernicus and Tellurium Kepler they took the art of making complications into a new age.
3 FP Journe His Octa and Souveraine models unique watches with unique complications made him the forerunner for other new independant brands making high end watches.
4Frank Muller-He proved you could be a watch making genius and dare to be different.He made so many complications in such a short time truly amazing.
5 Jaquet Droz this brand with their use of special materials on their watch dials have inspired many other brands.
6 A.Lange& Sohne The first true inhouse high end chronograph in the world even Patek were shocked by this watch.And for being the first brand to dispel the myth that PP make the best finished watches in the world. Willy
