The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cincinnati Watch Company Two Cats in Front of the Sun is the Yema Superman Worldtime GMT ($1,549) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM at $780 (vs $1,995 for the Two Cats in Front of the Sun) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company Sugar Skull #1 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW210-1) and Vintage revival. Stepping up, the Ming x J.N. Shapiro 37.06 Lightning ($8,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
