For your price range, worth checking out Timefactors. Some solid designs, though buying one is a bit of a pain with a small time window. Lots of reviews on YouTube too -

Honestly most of the brands outsource through the wider group. A large drive to inhouse for basic movements was to find alternatives to ETA. A downside is also being tied to send back to manufacturer to service - and the brands are getting pricey. I'm over the whole in-house - I'll look for quality of finishing and if they're trying to do something special.
I have one! Cracking watch, with the most buttery smooth manual wind. The only watch I've tried with a nicer wind cost over 50k!
Needs a service though - that will not be cheap I fear.....
