The short answer

The closest alternative to the Manufaktur Waldhoff Vanguard V8 is the Tissot T-Complication Squelette ($2,295) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Audaz ADZ-2065 at $600 (vs $1,419 for the Vanguard V8) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Manufaktur Waldhoff Imperial is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the 5280 Watch Company Antero ($5,995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
