The ETA 2892-A2, ETA 2824/2T chronometer grade, ETA Valjoux 7750,Unitas 6497/8,Omega 2500, JLC 889/2 , JLC 960, Longines 990 (Lemania 8815), PP 215, PP 240,now IMHO the Grand Seiko 430 is one of best movements ever made .Others like the Zenith 400,Zenith 670, GP 3100 all excellent movements, plus there are many more.Would not call any modern movement made today best,whats best in one persons eyes is better in another's.But most movements today even from Alpha to every day Seiko, Miyota and all the high end brands all have there place in today's horological world.

Thank you for taking the time to post this! This is one of the best, if not the best, post I've seen in recent memory.
Let me ask this - is there a book out there that details the history of the Swiss watch world? Something like the post above with the Gruen/Rolex story but much bigger and more in depth spanning the insudesty at large? I know things like that exist for silicon valley and the American and Italian auto industry.
How does one acquire knowledge like this?
Just amazing. Thank you.
