The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ikepod Hemipod HE02 is the RGM Watches Model 455 Classic Chronographs ($7,950) — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Telemeter 1938 at $2,400 (vs $6,372 for the Hemipod HE02) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ikepod Hemipod HE10 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Same family (Hemipod). Stepping up, the Bremont Williams Racing ($7,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
