Remy Cools: 1st 2 watches are both tourbillon
Sylvain Pinaud: 1st watch is a chrono; 2nd watch is Origine
Krayon: 1st watch is Everywhere, 2nd is Anywhere
Vincent Deprez: 1st watch is a tourbillon now designing his 2nd complicated model
Xhevdet Rexhepi: 1st watch has an interesting complication that most people do not understand. Designing his 2nd watch
Akrivia with the AKs. These AKs are interesting, complicated and the best hand-finished watches in the universe. The AK-06 previously retail at less than U$90k.
The more established guys like Dufour has his Grande Sonnerie, and Voutilainen has a minute repeater. I have left out many others...

Voutilainan Mr is a lecoultre, Dufour's based on PP, neither have any of the innovation of the GF sonnerie. As for the others, if you think some guys making their first tourbillon just out of school are the equivalent to GF, well maybe that's part of GF's challenge.
