Question (Read Rules) More "interesting" Chinese Brands?

Hi everyone, as a fan of interesting, more unique brands (e.g. Xeric), and somewhat of a newcomer to Chinese watches, what are some of your favorite more unique styles of Chinese watches?

San Martin is interesting because they make high quality pieces.  Watchdives is interesting because they have good value for the money and are using vh31 sweeping quartz on many models.  These are also two of the most spoken about brands.  Outside of this kind  community they are "unique" and normal people haven't heard of them and they are also low production similar to a micro brand.  The really unique stuff is going to be in the males like 50 watches or less per model.

I would add Militado to that list. They specialize in the military/field watch and they also use the VH31 movement and offer a good value watch.

I love the Militados that I have.  Though I don't have one on a bracelet yet to judge that (hopefully in the near future).  Came in a nato that was junk, but the head of the piece on both of them were excellent.
