The Fabulous History of Breitling Watches

Breitling is a famous Swiss luxury watch brand noted for its inbuilt aviation functions such as chronometer, split second, date, fly back, and moon phase. But, its price tag is so exorbitant that it could scare off even the modestly rich in the society, leave alone the common man on the streets. So, does that mean that only the elite in the society or a John Travolta can only afford a Breitling watch? Yes, if you are talking about the original Breitling brand, and No, if you just need a look-alike model in order to show off amid your friends or in a party. A Breitling replica watch is not that costly and its price tag is affordable to most middle class men. And its features are so original that nobody is going to realize that you are wearing a Breitling replica watch and not the costly Breitling original. It is deception at its very best, and yes at a lesser cost!

Breitling has four different models – Navimeter, Windrider, Professional, and Aeromarine – with each one having a number of sub models with varying specialties and functionalities. All these models and submodels are available in the form of replica watches as well, for a fraction of its original cost. But, for a customer, the biggest test lies in choosing a suitable watch replica from the many available in the market, some good quality ones and many substandard models. Here, in order to discern chalk from cheese, you may have to act a bit smart.

Finding a good quality Breitling replica watch is a task in itself. But, as a thumb rule, always go for a Swiss replica watch that comes with a service guarantee – mostly for limited period only – and preferably customer support. Another aspect to see in a replica watch is its look and feel. If the replica watches were made using the latest watch technologies, then it will be an exact copy of the original, right from its dial and clock face to operating buttons, serial number, and logo. If the operating buttons go loose in few turns, then you can safely assume that the one you are playing with is not a good Breitling replica watch make. Such watches get damaged quickly and must be avoided in the first place itself. Finally, check the weight of the particular watch replica. To qualify as a good replica watch, it must have the same weight as its original. As mentioned earlier in the paragraph, only those watches made using the best technology backup could meet such finer standards.

Most good quality Breitling replica watches are priced in the range 0 to 0. The costliest ones may have a price tag of around 0, but then they may be gold plated or having some additional features or an extended service guarantee. To know more about Breitling replica watches, search the web. Shortlist those replica watch makers who qualify in terms of quality and compare the prices they offer. It could help you to find not only the best watch replicas but also the cheapest deal possible.

History of Movado Watches

Movado Watch is a renowned watch company whose name denotes “always in motion” in Esperanto. The company started its expedition in 1881 and later went onto become a leading brand in watch manufacturing. It was a small workshop in La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland, from where it saw the light of the day. It was the gifted Achille Ditisheim along with the group of his six employees who initiated the grand move to establish Movado Watch.

Initially, the entire fleet of Movado watches was fabricated, accumulated and manufactured by means of hand. Shortly after putting the valiant act on the roll, their stiff effort and grit got the huge and anticipated dividends. By the year 1899, they were rewarded with nearly six “first-class Official Rating Certificates” in their category. The subsequent years came with even better results and they were honored with the ‘Silver Medal’ at the Universal demonstration in Paris.

By the year 1905, the Movado name had put the company into the reckoning and it had started reaping benefits by the name. To meet the customer’s demand and expectation, it embarked onto the path of practicing distinction in the design and utility of the products at disposal. Later years saw them prevailing over their arch rivals at some grand exhibitions: be it the 1910 trade fair in Paris, Rome, Brussels or Rio de Janeiro. They convincingly brought the glory for themselves by launching of 8 Ligne wristwatch collections. The bringing in of the “Polyplan watch” in the year of 1912, almost created havoc and stunned the entire watch community. These watches were so outstanding that they are exceedingly hunted nowadays at any watch auction.

Movado Digital Watch was launched in the year 1930. At the same time, the Calendomatic, exhibiting month and day markers on the dial, was rolled into the market in 1946 to capture the whole market at one go. The unique “Museum Watch” which displayed a solo dot at the number 12 on the dial, took the market by storm. This inimitable characteristic of the watch symbolized innovation unheard of before. It was profoundly accepted as well as preferred to be put as an enduring set in the “Museum of Modern Art” in the year 1969. It was the result of the teaming up with designers of the likes of Andy Warhol, who collaborated with the production process of “one-of-a-kind watches”, which are now an integral feature of museums, galleries, and watch collections.

Presently, Movado Watch is revisiting its splendid past by introducing the KingMatic series. This series of watches were initially launched in the 1950′s. The current KingMatic is made of stainless steel and sapphire crystals and is water defiant. Movado commemorated its 125th year of watch making only last year. In the midst of its resounding watches, put in the museum collections roughly all over the world, Movado Watch has created a huge impact and left its mark of triumph on the world. Its recurrent exposure in celebrated publications further complements the saga of its achievements.

Presently, the company’s watches make use of both quartz and mechanical movements in their timepieces and also markets other luxury watch brands like Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste and many more.

The Incredible History and Product of Hublot Watches

The Incredible History and Product of Hublot Watches

Many people are attracted to Hublot timepieces for their beauty, comfort and elite quality. Much of what makes this brand so unique and desired is the fascinating history of the company. As with most entrepreneurial ventures, Hublot started with a need for change and innovation. Hublot’s story is an inspiring one of risk, change, growth and reward.

Carlo Crocco left Briel watchmaking with the Italian Binda Group in 1976, moved to Switzerland and founded the innovative Swiss watch brand. Hublot was launched in 1980. Hublot took the market by storm and in a few short years, was counted among the world’s leading watchmaking brands. The unique design of the timepieces took 3 years to research and perfect but the product was well worth the wait. Carlo Crocco took a pretty substantial risk in separating from the Italian Binda Group to peruse his own creative potential and that risk paid off, big time.

In May of 2004, Jean-Claude Biver was named CEO of Hublot. Jean-Claude Biver has contributed many ideas for developing the brand. By 2006, just two years later, his ideas and marketing skills had quadrupled sales! Biver defines his marketing strategy as “concentration in diversity”, meaning going where the potential clients are. He advocates investing a lot of energy in sponsoring and partnership in various fields. One of the most significant contributions he made was relaunching “The Art of Fusion”. He loved the idea of the original watch, designed with gold and natural rubber. Jean-Claude Biver took the idea further to encompass Swiss watches made with gold and ceramic, tantalum and red gold, magnesium and titanium, etc. The fusion concept has been a huge success for the Swiss watchmaking brand but still, 30% of demand remains with the classic design. In 2006 Hublot TV was launched. This was the first ever internet television channel for luxury brand news.

Carlo Crocco sold Hublot to LVMH, a world-leading French luxury goods group, in April of 2008. The group has wisely kept Jean-Claude Biver’s brilliant marketing mind on board as CEO. The same year, Hublot designed it’s first timepiece for women. The women’s watch has a similar face but with a slimmer, more elegant rubber wrist-band. Due to the elite-nature of these beautiful Swiss watches, there is a lot of demand on the market for Hublot counterfeits. At BaselWorld, in 2009, Hublot introduces a way of detecting these counterfeit watches. It’s called a WiseKey smart card. The smart card authenticates watches on Hublot’s servers.

This Swiss watch brand almost immediately drew the attention of royal families across the world and soon to follow, many popular public figures would be seen wearing these gorgeous timepieces. Celebrities who have been photographed donning Hublot watches include Nelson Mandela, Lionel Richie, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alex Rodriguez, Rihanna, Cheryl Cole and 50 Cent. That is just to name a few, the list goes on.

What really sets Hublot watches apart from other Swiss watches and luxury timepieces in general, is that each watch is crafted with rare materials. Hublot watches are described as a fusion of traditional Swiss watchmaking and modern watchmaking art. The first watch, designed by Crocco, was made with gold and natural rubber. The rubber used is quite innovative and is said to regenerate over time when in contact with skin. The name, Hublot, is derived after the French word for port-hole. These timepieces are distinguished by port-hole shaped watch cases, simplistic black dial and the black rubber strap. Upon order, each strap is tailor fitted to the purchaser’s wrist for the most comfortable watch experience.

Hublot watches and Jean-Claude Biver have been universally recognized for their brilliant work and innovation. In 2007, Biver was named Best Watchmaking Manager and Best Communicator in survey of watchmaking journalists in Business Montres magazine. Also, he earned 5th place in Entrepreneur of the Year by Handleszeitung, a Swiss economic weekly publication. In 2008, he was named CEO of the year at Jewellery and pens Awards in Bahrain and 2008 Leader of the Year by the Swiss PME magazine. Jean-Claude Biver also claimed the title 2009 Man of the Year by magazines Orologi da Polso, Revue des mounters, GMT and Business Montres. Hublot watches’ 2005 awards include Design Prize in the Geneva Grand Prix d’Horlogerie, Sports Watch Prize at the Watch of the Year ceremony in Japan and Best Oversized Watch of the Editor’s Choice Watch of the Year in Bahrain. Later, the Big Bang design won Best Watch of the Design Awards 2007 from Wallpaper Magazine. The One million $ Big Bang won Prize for the Jewel Watch at the Geneva Grand Prix d’Horlogerie 2007. Mag Bang was awarded Best Technological Innovation in Bahrain. Ceramic Gold Big Bang won Best Watch by Caesar magazine. Big Bang Purple Carat was awarded second prize in Ladies Watch category at the 6th Nuit de l’Horlogerie in Gevena and it also won Ladies Watch at the Jewellery and pens Awards in Bahrain and Ladies Chronograph in Reveue des Montres in Paris.

Georgie has been a fan of Hublot watches ever since he first got into luxury watches.  He is an avid watcher of news in the industry and always saves pictures of favorites.  Unfortunately he can only afford one every couple of years…

Luminox Watch History

Luminox Watch History

In 1994 the Luminox watch company became the best-known sports watch brand when they launched their specially designed Navy SEAL dive watch, which was created to the specific requirements of the branches of military needing the most accurate and dependable watch to use on their night missions; US Navy’s Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) teams. This red-letter day brought notoriety to the new company, providing the enhanced credibility needed to compete against the many brands that already dominated the market. With the Original Navy SEAL dive watch, Luminox offered the public an affordable wristwatch designed to withstand the rigors of sports and to provide the best illumination technology available for easy readability in any conditions.

Luminox had been producing watches since 1989 as the Richard Barry Marketing Group (RBMG) using a new technology harnessing the best qualities of tritium without the dangerous levels of radiation associated with traditional tritium phosphorescent paint. With the company name change to Luminox, meaning “light night” in Latin, production of their specially-illuminated plastic dive watches hit the big-time as hundreds of thousands of the original model flew off the shelves. With such a best seller, the company was assured of the wide range of interest needed to support additional models and an all steel series and an all titanium series was created, both of which are extremely well received by the public to this day.

The year 1999 brought another big step for Luminox when the US Air Force requested a specially designed watch for their pilots flying night bombing missions. They’d been wearing the SEAL dive watch for its fine qualities, but, because of “friendly rivalry” between forces, they preferred to have a watch all their own. With this new contract, Luminox provided the first aviation inspired collection and went on to create a relationship with the maker of the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth jet, Lockheed Martin©, the largest defense contractor in the world. Since then, an entire array of aviation inspired watches has been created that tie to specific Lockheed Martin properties. The newest releases from Luminox include evolutionary versions of the F-117 Nighthawk series, the F-16 Fighting Falcon series, and the SR-71 Blackbird series. In addition, Luminox has launched a brand new series tied to the F-22 Raptor Stealth jet and the new Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 Lightning II.

Today, Luminox makes watches tied to military groups, military styled field watches, general wear timepieces, and chronographs. Many of these models are now benefitting from evolutionary versions signaling a great “new beginning” for the brand. Luminox receives requests regularly from specific groups seeking a watch bearing their identity (logo and/or group name). With such ongoing success, Luminox watches are available in many styles within 30 countries around the world. These timepieces often have model names that refer to the military connection, eg Night Ops, Dress Field and ST71 Blackbird.

Men’s watches: The history and the current products

Time is important to all of us. We live our lives by the clock, literally. Time pieces have been around since the 1400′s when mechanical spring powered clocks where first invented. Later around the 1600′s, when the technology was miniaturized, pocket watches were invented and became highly fashionable. Not until the 20th century did our modern idea of a “watch” come in to play. Typically one thinks of a watch as a wrist watch, a time keeping device strapped to the arm by means of a band or chain. Though some men still wear pocket watches for their aesthetic charm, wrist watches have dominated the watch industry for nearly a hundred years.

Today there are two main types of watches for men, digital such as sport watches, and analogue, typically fashion watches with physical hands and annotated faces. There are also two main types of watch mechanisms (for watches with physical hands), quartz crystal, and spring powered. Quartz crystal watches keeps extremely precise time by means of a tiny crystal and an electrical circuit which produced precisely measured movements. Spring powered watches on the other hand can become extremely inaccurate because they rely on a small coil spring to produce movement. This tiny spring can lose consistency as it is vulnerable to changes in weather and climate and can wear out with extensive use.

Most analogue watches today rely on quartz crystal because of their precise timing, though spring powered watch are still popular because of their craftsmanship and beauty.

There are a variety of watches on the market today, from high end designs such as Omega and Rolex to athletic brands such as Timex and Seiko. Watches often feature a variety of features, especially sport watches which can often include stopwatches, duel time zones or even GPS uplinks which allow the user to know exactly where they are on the planet. GPS has also become a popular feature in fashion watches which automatically updates the time via a satellite network.

A variety of specialty watches are also available to the more adventurous wearer, such as dive watches made by Swiss Army and Citizen Watches. Virtually all watches today include some sort of date function, and many have extra playful features. Modern watch designs can range from the traditional conservative look we all know to neon colours, using modern materials such as plastics and even hemp bands. Watches come in such a variety of choices, colours and designs anyone can find a watch they really love.

A Brief History Of Tissot Watches

Tissot watches boast a long and enriching history that can be traced back to 1853 when a father Charles-Felicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile set up the company in Le Locle, a small city in Switzerland. With painstaking efforts, innovative ideas and forward thinking, the brand has been elevated to a new height as what it is today.

With lots of talented technicians and engineers that have committed to manufacturing innovative and glittering watches for more than 150 years, the brand is outstanding from others for the dedication and strong feelings attached to Tissot.
Then the company continued to create the first anti-magnetic watch as well as the first plastic watch, Rock watch, Wood watch and T-Touch.

These are some of the main breakthroughs that the company has witnessed throughout its long course of development. With so many “firsts” in the watchmaking industry, Tissot has been leading the way for many other companies to keep pace with. Apart from creating first of its kind watches, Tissot also made its presence in the realm of sports watches.
Tissot watches also have close bond with sports. For example, they are adopted into use in the Davis Cup in 1957 and Downhill Skiing in Switzerland in 1938. In addition, it is also appointed as the official timekeeper for many sports events such as biking, cycling, ice hockey, etc.

Recently the brand has debuted another masterpiece – T-Touch. With innovative technology and machinery in the manufacturing process and new features such as thermometers, barometers, compasses and altimeters, this distinguish range of watches are suitable for any kind of activity.

The History of Tissot Watches

Filed Under: Watches by admin — Leave a comment

The History of Tissot Watches

When people hear the word “Tissot” they may not immediately recognize it as a watch brand, but that it is. Tissot was founded in 1853 by Charles-Felicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile who set up shop in Switzerland.

Known as “innovators by tradition”, Tissot has achieved many “firsts” in the watchmaking industry. In the first year of its existence, Tissot created the first mass-produced pocket watch and the first pocket watch that showed two different time zones. In 1929, the company introduced the first anti-magnetic watch.

Tissot has been known to make watches out of bizarre materials such as plastic and wood. In 1971 the company produced an all plastic watch called the IDEA 2201. In 1985 they came out with an all stone one called Alpine Granite Rock watch, an all mother of pearl piece in 1987 and one made entirely of wood, aptly called the Wood Watch in 1988.

It is common practice among watch brands to partner with and sponsor events that draw the same type of customer as the watch brand itself does. Tissot, being a maker of high-precision sports watches has since 2005, partnered with NASCAR to be the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of this all ‘American car racing series. Tissot has long been involved with motor racing and promises to continue bettering the experience for the 75 million fans that watch NASCAR on TV and the 6 million that attend live races. As part of this partnership Tissot has created a series of seven special NASCAR watches including: the T-Touch NASCAR, the T-Race NASCAR, the T-Tracx NASCAR, and the PR 50 Chronograph NASCAR among others.

NASCAR racing isn’t the only sport that Tissot has a long history with. Part of the appeal of Tissot watches is that it is broad and extends to many countries and people with different interests. The only common denominator is that both these watches and the audiences that they seek to please both enjoy the “values of precision, innovation, performance and prestige.” Other sport partnerships include that of dirt bike racing, cycling, ice hockey and motor bike racing and fencing.

Since 1983 Tissot has been a member of the Swatch Group, the world’s largest watch producer and distributor. Swatch watches, Tissot watches and Omega watches will very much be in the international headlines just in time for the 2016 summer Olympics in Brazil. Omega, also owned by Swatch, is the official timekeeper for the Olympics and Swatch will be investing 0 million dollars in Brazil along with opening a new Swatch watch store.

Tissot has a number of ambassadors that cover all the fields of sports and geographic locations that Tissot partners with and is interested in attracting. Indy race car driver Danica Patrick may be the most well-known Ambassador as she has catapulted to international fame and done some high profile photo shoots for Tissot watches. Nicky Hayden, American MotoGP Rider, Michael Owen, English Footballer, Barbie Hsu, Taiwanese Actress, Deepika Padukone, Indian actress and model, Margherita Granbassi, winner of the 2006 World Fencing Championship and Steven Stamkos, Canadian professional ice hockey player are other young, talented faces in their arenas.

Tissot is also lucky that it can still bank on the fact that the below famous people have worn Tissot watches: Sarah Bernhardt, Carmen Miranda, Elvis Presley, Grace Kelly, and Nelson Mandela. Did you know that? Might make you reconsider a Tissot watch for yourself!
