Ranking of watchmakers

You guys seem to know your stuff. How would you rank all the famous brands in terms of prestige, technology, design, etc?

I don't know much, but I think that Patek Philippe is way up there in ranking and it is my dream watch. No other brand even comes close IMHO.

Depends on who you ask...

Certainly Patek is well known. Perhaps the most well known, and "status" watch on the planet would be Rolex.

A. Lange & Sohne (check out this article...http://www.alange-soehne.com/cms/en/...rhunderts.html)
Vacheron Constantin
Audemars Piguet
Jeager LeCoultre
IWC
Glashutte Original
Cartier

There are also some recent watch manufactures producing incredible time pieces.
Greubel Forsey
Richard Mille
Urwerk
MB&F
Franck Muller


These are in no particular order...and I am sure I left out many.

Yes, price is not a factor, just that RM is crazy! It's on the top of my list, although I don't put too much value on watches.
