The short answer

The closest alternative to the HoraPictor Totem Cipher is the 5280 Watch Company Antero ($5,995) — art / handcrafted dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Aryon Minimal Enamel Automatic at $967 (vs $4,092 for the Totem Cipher) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lucky Harvey Chiming Horse is the standout microbrand take — art / handcrafted dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds ($29,210) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
