Breitling’s Unique Luxury Watches


Breitling WatchesBreitling watches have many unique features engineered into their precise movements. The delicate hand craft labor that is invested into each time piece is extraordinary. Each component of the movement is hand finished so that the edges will be smooth. Each edge is polished individually and will have a unique angled finish each time. The reason skilled watch makers take their time to smooth the edges out has to do with reducing friction in the movement, which will allow the watch to work longer with less need of maintenance. Breitling watches are one of the most calibrated brands in the industry.

Each individual watch is C.O.S.C. certified. The C.O.S.C. is The Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute. This highly regarded institution sets the benchmark for precision in time-keeping instruments of various brands. Their certification is dependability watch owners can count on. Certification of watches is conducted through rigorous and enduring tests on the watch’s ability to keep time perfectly. Most luxury timepieces can lose or gain about 15 seconds to a minute and a half a year. This is due to engineering deficiencies during the manufacturing of the movement. If the movement is not precisely calibrated and built to perfection, seconds or even minutes will be lost and or gained over time. This will render the watch owner always on wrong time schedules.

Breitling watches are certified to be precise to 1/10th of a second, and will rarely lose or gain seconds over time if the watch is properly taken care of. The brand is also well recognized within the aviation industry for its great accuracy and various functions, such as the slide rule. In addition to all the functionality and accuracy these wonderful watches have to offer, they also meet the most vane and stylish of fashion standards.

All components and materials employed in Breitling’s manufacturing process are specifically chosen for durability. Crystals are glazed on both sides with anti-reflective elements to reduce up to 99% of glare. Crowns are built of stronger composite metals in order to ensure sturdiness as well as protect the luxury watch by serving as water-tight seals. In comparison to other luxury watch brands, Breitling is the clear choice. They employ the toughest and most quality-driven components in their time-pieces, engineer watches in the most accurate fashion and finally, produce some of the best looking designs in the entire watch industry.

The Vibrant World of Michele Watches


Michele Deco WatchMichele luxury timepieces are contemporary art deco design watches most popular among young adults and teens. The innovative design these timepieces have is inspired by the vibrant Miami lifestyle. Michele Barouh, creator of the watch brand is the mastermind behind its global success. By continually being at the forefront of international fashion trends, she has been able to conceptualize the brand’s design with colorful straps and art deco watch-making architecture paralleled by none.

Michele time-keeping instruments come in various color dials and straps. They have 8 collections, which include the Ceramic, Deco, CSX, Urban, Milou, Coquette, Sport Sail and Garden party. Each collection has an average of 5 sub-collection variations. The Variations include different sizes, case designs, bracelet and colorful leather strap combinations, as well as Arabic and Roman hour markers.

My favorite Michele watch collection is the Deco watch. It is an elegant watch to wear in social gatherings, yet it can be relevant to more casual events. The deco watch has a vertically shaped rectangle case design. It can be purchased in stainless steel, gold, or a combination of the two tones. By switching the bracelet for a trendy colored strap, you can wear the watch in a sportier fashion. My favorite variation of this collection is the Diamond Deco Michele time piece. It has three rows of diamonds set into the bezel. The diamonds accentuate the classic look of the case glamorously, yet are not flashy or eccentric.

The most exciting feature Michele watches offer are the ability to always look different. The luxury brand sells interchangeable straps and bracelets for every fashionista’s taste. You can acquire a variety of leather straps including python leather, alligator leather, calfskin and lizard.

Bracelets are also interchangeable. Stainless steel designs come in a variety of link designs. Gold plated bracelets are also available. If you can’t decide between the two, you can always choose a combination of the two tones which is a very popular alternative.

The reason to buy Authentic Gucci Watches


Authentic Gucci WatchesGucci watches have been around since the 1920’s continuously impressing buyers and customers worldwide.  To up with the constantly changing and evolving market, Gucci has done a remarkable job at meeting the demands and high expectations of the always changing clientele.  But do replica Gucci men’s watches live up to the real deal?

There are several watch companies that can create replica watches that are almost identical to the authentic watch.  However, it is almost impossible to create a replica Gucci watch.  While there are many fakes on the market, there are just too many differences that make it a waste of money.

Authentic Gucci watches present elegant and attractive designs that are flashy and up-to-date.  Ever since its creation in the 1920’s, the company has followed its tradition of old-world craftsmanship that helps distinguish each timepiece from all of the other company’s in the watch industry.  And for this reason alone it is difficult to create replica timepieces of Gucci watches.

The goal of many replica watches is to replace high-end materials with cheap materials to portray the real thing.  This makes a luxury watch much more affordable while maintaining the same appeal and look.  However, it is virtually impossible to replace the elegance and glamour that a Gucci men’s watch presents.

From the classic round, rectangular and steel dials to the polished stainless steel set against black or cream colored backgrounds it is a timepiece that is irreplaceable.  Gucci watches provide a true luxurious accessory for every man to show off in the business room with the elegant suit.  This is something that a replica watch simply cannot do.

Certainly you can expect to pay far more for the real thing as oppose to a replica.  However, this is what makes a luxury watch so glamorous.  Purchasing a replica watch is only cheating yourself and lying to those around you.  If you want to get the real experience of having a flashy accessory on your wrist, the only route to take is to go with a true Gucci men’s watch.

One thing you will want to be cautious of is manufacturers or companies selling fake watches in substitute for the real thing.  Prior to purchasing any watch, make sure that you know that it is genuine and not a knockoff of any type.  There is nothing worse than paying top dollar for a replica.

There are no timepieces that you can get away with purchasing a replica of.  But as for Gucci, purchasing a replica is just a waste of your money and an insult to your wrist.  There is nothing quite like the feel of an authentic stainless steel Gucci watch on your wrist, which can not be accomplished with a replica.

Movado: Art and Time


Movado LogoMovado timepieces are revered as one of the most modernly designed luxury watch brands. The Movado brand is recognized as a symbol of modernism, which first introduced the museum watch in 1947. The museum dial is characterized by a dot at 12 O’ clock, representing high noon. This simple, yet elegant design, has endured all fashion trends over the past 6 decades. To this day, the museum dial is considered trendy, contemporary and classic; virtues no other time pieces posses.

Artist Nathan Horwitt conceptualized the museum dial’s design more than 6 decades ago. It was selected for the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1960, an honor never before bestowed on a watch dial. For this reason, the dials have been branded as “Museum Dials”, and the original watch is recognized as: “The Classic Museum Watch.”

Movado is renowned for its commitment to the arts. The brand has commissioned limited edition series from legends such as Andy Warhol and James Rosenquist. The company is also a major sponsor for the Lincoln Center of the Performing Arts. A 19 foot bronze clock tower designed by architect Phillip Johnson, under commission by Movado, was erected in 1999 at the Lincoln Center.
Movado watches also introduced the Future Legends Program, in which 3 of the country’s most prestigious art institutions come together once a year to recognize the 3 most talented up and coming artists, destined for greatness.

Movado timepieces are art in its most contemporary manifestation. The brand’s commitment to an artistic future in society ensures it will never lose this essence.

Luxury Watch Purchase Testimonial: A letter from a satisfied customer


WatchI have wanted to buy a new watch for the longest time. But, to be honest, with so many places to choose from whether they be actual stores or virtual stores, it just leaves me with so many unanswered questions. Buying online presents even more dilemmas.  The deals are great ,but my fear of being taken advantage of is even greater. What do you need to look out for?  Do I need to check out site security? Should I only look at the price when buying online?

First off, any time you find a deal that is too good to be true, the odds are that it probably is too good to be true. The implication is “run as fast as you can.” Regarding site security, make sure you use an insured credit card or one that is for online purposes only. These days, most of them are. Of course price matters. That is one of the major reasons to go online in the first place, but that should not be the only reason you buy from one site. A few years back when I wanted to buy a mattress,  my mother suggested that I call the Better Business Bureau and verify whether or not that company could be trusted and whether or not any complaints had been received. These days, the great thing is that you do not have to make any calls. Simply click on the company, and if it is reputable you will know. Take the time to read through the blogs, even feel free to ask questions. If you do your do diligence you will lose your apprehension of online shopping and can actually find it a gratifying experience.

Also speak your friends or people you see with a similar watch that you want to buy. Ask them how much they paid for it  and where they purchased it from. I was interested in The Breitling Men’s Bentley GT Chronograph Automatic, which is a tad pricey but a stunning watch. I checked out a few sites, but one that truly impressed WatchesOnNet. I have spent a few hours with them on the phone after looking at their site and have felt no pressure to buy. That is another thing that I love feeling “no pressure to buy.”  While I’m not sure whether I will buy a watch at this time or not, I feel that I have found a reliable, trustworthy and helpful site  When the time is right and I decide to buy, I will use this site to guide me through the purchase.

Thanks for reading,

Juda

Retro vs. Modern Luxury Watch Design


Cartier WatchWhen it comes to luxury watch design, the fashion world has very contrasting views on what is hot and what is not. Some fashion designers prefer modern watch designs with sleek angles and smooth curves. Others prefer more classic square cases with Roman numeral dials. Classic watches such as Rolex and Cartier tend to fall along more traditional watch design formats. Blunt right angles, bulky cases with symmetrical features and silver-gold bracelets are characteristic of this style.

Modern-design watches such as Omega, Tag Heuer and Gucci incorporate asymmetrical, ergonomic angle schemes which challenge traditional visual aesthetics. The Gucci 103 collection for example, has a case which looks like an abstract oval. Its dials vary from champagne gold with flower patterns, to silver-diamond dials on a Mother Of Pearl background. Omega design commemorative watches for the Olympics, James Bond movies, and the legendary Moon Watch, which was the only watch ever worn on the moon. Their time pieces have bulky cases, yet curved edges with innovative bracelet styles. The Tag Heuer Carerra watch has one of the most contemporary outlines, and modern dials. The chronograph version has a dial which mirrors a racing car’s dashboard and a variety of straps with spherical carvings.

More classic watches such as the Cartier Santos 100 have traditional leather straps, with deployment buckles. Their case is almost perfectly square, and a Roman numeral dial is standard on all collections. Rolex watches also incorporate Roman numeral dials for many of their models. Classic watches are also a better option when attending sophisticated social gatherings or business meetings. They portray class, taste and most importantly distinction.

Whichever design suits you best, keep in mind, not all watches should be worn in any circumstance. Some classic designs are appropriate at a cocktail gathering, while other more modern ones are a better fashion statement at social meetings.
