Stowa if you want the modernise flieger look, laco if you want the old school look, Sinn or Damasko if you want the tech, Archimede if you want budget
Despite people say Stowa is not the same as the original company, it is indeed faithfully following the original Stowa DNA and taking over by Jorg Schauer (an award winning watchmaker) from Werner Storz, two years before he passed away. Note: Werner Storz is the son of stowa founder, Walter Storz.
Even Sinn is no longer under Helmut Sinn family when he sold the company to IWC engineer Lothar Schmidt in 1994. But that doesn't make Sinn a lesser brand. Many brands is like that, just take a look at those conglomerate like Richemond group.
Anyway, have fun researching for your purchase.
PS: I'm slightly bias too as I'm the owner of 11 Stowa.
