Quartz or mechanical - all Swiss made.
The Quartz is a basic Ronda 515.
Mechanical ETA 2892 - doesn't get much better than that (or 2893 for GMT version)
All with Sapphire glass, water resistant 100m
For some details on the movement.

Note: these are quite large watches.
the only reason this brand is famous is because they got Obama to wear one… and then the Secret Service bought a batch.
Other than that? Nah. prices pulled from their a-holes. $500 for a quartz? No.
Your backstory interested me, but my quick search on the web seems to indicate that Obama and the secret service wears something called a 'Jorg Gray'? Mistaken identity?
Yup, mistaken identity.
This is for design-fans. Not watch-fans.
Georg Jensen is a Danish design company. Lots of gorgeous silversmithing.
You'd buy this watch because of how it looks. The innards will be outsourced from somewhere else anyway.
@KentT: Of course the movement is outsourced, it's Swiss ETA, but the movement is decorated with a custom rotor which adds $,

Archieluxury would call these "horological dogshit"

The watches don't have much character. Don't think they would be selling these anyway irrespective of the movement. Unknown brand quartz for $500. Daring
George Jenson as a brand is quite well known…just not for watches.
It's a Ronda 515.24H movement, hardly unknown, and neither is the brand, just not known as much for their watches.
How much would you pay for a Seiko or Citizen Stainless steel 316L, Sapphire glass Quartz watch?
I paid $350 for my SEIKO SARG009 automatic watch. 6R15 movement, sapphire glass, stainless steel etc. It's a fantastic watch. Definitely a step up from quartz movement too!
Nice, and v good price, $795 at watchdirect (not that I know if that means anything).
Personally I wouldn't buy the Quartz, the ETA 2892 at $838 is the 'bargain' IMHO.
$350 is a very good price for SARG009. Awesome bargain.
I got the Seiko alpinist for a little more than $500. I did not measure but it's movement is on par if not better than my Longines. I personally would not pay this much even if I am getting an ETA movement on a brand which is not well known for watches.
I love the SARG009. Hoping to pick one up at South stage. Great price.
I would never buy one of these for several reasons - no resale, price, from a jeweller, etc. However, I have to admit I do find that black dial model quite attractive and the decorated ETA movement is a thing of beauty. Surprised at the RRP prices they don't even mention the lume type other than Luminova or show the clasp. I wouldn't consider these watches quite large though, 42mm is pretty standard these days and 12mm is quite thin for an auto. LOL at the quartz price!
