The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cincinnati Watch Company Cincinnati's Riverfront #1 is the Yema Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds CMM.29 ($2,249) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Heritage 1938 at $925 (vs $1,995 for the Cincinnati's Riverfront #1) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company When Pigs Fly is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW210-1) and Vintage revival.
