The closest alternative to the Celeste Watch Company Tarantula is the Mondaine Evo2, Polished Steel, 30 mm, Stainless ($435) — quartz and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Timex Peanuts Floral x Timex Weekender 31mm Fabric Strap Watch at $99 (vs $250 for the Tarantula) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Celeste Watch Company Awareness - Dragonfly is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko 6L12) and Same family (Insects). Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Classics Slimline Ladies Moonphase ($995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
