Query (anyone can rerun it on query.wikidata.org):

SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?sitelinks WHERE { { ?item wdt:P452 wd:Q41767 . } UNION { ?item wdt:P452 wd:Q63346664 . } UNION { ?item wdt:P1056 wd:Q178794 . } UNION { ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q136094627 . } ?article schema:about ?item ; schema:isPartOf <https://en.wikipedia.org/> . ?item wikibase:sitelinks ?sitelinks . SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". } } ORDER BY DESC(?sitelinks) LIMIT 400

Added by hand (the query does not find them):

• Seiko (Q322601): Not classified as a watch company in Wikidata (no industry/product statement); obviously belongs.
• Swatch (Q573422): Same.

Left out under the rule (besides dissolved companies, which the data file lists):

• Q1496822: Geneva Seal: a certification, not a business with customers
• Q138307980: The Geneva School of Watchmaking: a school, not a brand with customers
