Big Watches Are Popular

“Big is better” is a phrase that we often hear. The more we get with our purchase the happier we are. I guess it’s because we have this idea in our heads that it does more. In some cases this is true, like with watches. Large-and-in-charge watches have enterned the market and exploded in popularity for exactly this reason. Oversized watches were originally a luxury watches feature for men but women’s watches soon adopted the style too. The benefit of the big face is that it can fit a chronograph and possibly even a stop watch. It’s a useful feature…

Watches and Understanding Time

When we think of time we tend to classify it, which, unlike the classification of life forms and their evolution, does not offer us any better understanding of it. What is a minute when we look at our Swiss watches but a sixtieth of an hour, and how many hours until we find ourselves at the same time tomorrow? Why, twenty-four of course. But twenty-four hours can just as easily become part of the same forgotten drift of a single minute. And years! When our little watch hand revolves 8766 times we can find ourselves reflecting on what we were…

Breitling Watches 101

  Breitling is a Swiss-made luxury brand of men’s and women’s watches produced by Breitling SA, which is still a privately owned company.  The watchmaker was first popular amongst aviation pioneers. These days, however, Breitling watches are popular status symbols.

Many Breitling models feature a mechanical automatic winding mechanism and are equipped with additional functions such as the flyback function, split-second, moon phase, date display and so forth. The price points…

Watches More Like Jewelry

There is a growing trend in watch making to make women’s watches look more and more like jewelry instead of watches. This is ever apparent in diamond watches these days.

But there are other watches coming out that look like amazingly cute jewelry! These include great gold watches like this Skagen watch pictured here. It’s gold ion plated band and hands are beautifully muted and a perfect accompaniment to any outfit…

Gold Watches: Everyone Loves Gold

Gold has long been admired and coveted for its beauty. Although we see gold everywhere it is scarce. If you took all the pure gold in the world it would only fill two Olympic sized swimming pools. To put it another way if you took all the gold in the world and tried to build the Washington Monument you could only build 33% of it. That is why you should be honored to have a little bit of gold on your wrist. Gold watches are beautiful and with gold prices skyrocketing there may not be too many around in 50…

More Than Diamond Watches

Diamond watches are undeniably great, beautiful and satisfying. Not only do they look good, but wearing something with such clear value can make practically anyone feel like a million bucks. Yet sometimes we just want sharp looking playful luxury watches to wear with more casual outfits. We want them to look good, of course, and yet we also want to be sure that the engineering within is as sharp and well maintained as that of any high-end watches but we want them to look normal with a decent pair of jeans. That is one of the main reasons for the…
