The short answer

The closest alternative to the Manufaktur Waldhoff Paragon is the Bulova Sutton Men's Silver Black Dial Stainless Steel Watch ($750) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Open Heart at $315 (vs $690 for the Paragon) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Swiss Watch Company Convertible is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Alta SE ($3,495) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
