Are there any reasonably priced automatic watches in Switzerland?

Hello it is my friend’s birthday soon so I would like to get him a Swiss watch for his birthday. But my price limit is £60 100CHF, 86.05$ and I don’t know where to begin (no swatch).

Most retailers in London have a limited range of watches to choose from.

 

As I would like to purchase a Swiss watch automatic if possible

If you cannot help can you tell me who can?

 

Any help appreciated.

A list of manufacturers if possible.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours

Farhan (London)

You are not going to find a genuine Swiss made or even Japan made automatic in that price range. Hard pressed to find a quartz on sale that low.

Get that price point your going to have to go with something from China. They do have some they call Swiss design but not sure they are even worth while if you want something to last.

One nice thing about gifting a watch to someone is it is a gift that keeps on giving every time the person wears it. Good luck. ;)

$86 can get you a nice version of a lot of things, but a watch isn't one of them, much less a Swiss watch.  You'd have to start at about 4X this amount, if you're getting something new.

the least expensive watch while in switzerland would be a modaine. and even that would be about 200.00 us for a quartz.
