Designer Watches

When most people think of designer watches, names like Gucci, Bvlgari, Rolex or Cartier come to mind. While it is true that half of these names are known almost entirely for their watches, the other half (Gucci and Bvlgari) are simply haute couture designers. The most common mistake watch buyers make is confusing a designer name with a quality product.

Designer Watches Defined

Designer watches are defined as those that outperform others in their class. A Gucci watch, for example, is not made by Gucci, but by a larger manufacturer. The watches, designed to carry the famous label’s insignia, are sold specifically to an audience that is attracted to this label. No haute couture designer today can boast a line of designer watches that can compete with what authentic Swiss and German watchmakers have been producing for more than two centuries. A designer Wrist_Watches wrist watch or pocket watch should be thought of as an authentic timepiece that has been handmade with the painstaking effort required to ensure absolute perfection. There are household names that come to mind who meet this description, for example, Rolex and Cartier. However, few other watchmakers who have innovated timepieces that provide much more than a trendy look. The aspect that generally typifies a designer watch is chronography.

Watchmakers

Baume & Mercier

For luxury beyond mere functionality, consider Baume & Mercier. Hand making watches since 1830, this watchmaker is considered to be the gold standard of the industry. A keen eye and steady hand make each Baume & Mercier a unique piece of art that gives you exact time based on the highest Swiss standards. Baume & Mercier donate significantly to children’s charities and sponsor actors Kim Bassinger and Gary Sinise in this pursuit.

Audemars Piguet

Since 1875, Audemars Piguet has been creating designer watches to the highest possible standards. With designers and innovators, all the way to micro-mechanical engineers, who hand make every single pin, watch hand, gear and pinion, these designer watches are a culmination of rarified tradition, perfection and serious forward thinking.

Rapstor

If you want a watch that is more than a piece of “bling bling”. If you want a timepiece to add an air of sophistication, then you want a Rapstor watch. These are finely made watches, but the feature that makes them desirable are the multiple faces — as if to say, “I need to know what time it is in at least five time zones.” The colorful “mini faces” inside the main face of a Rapstor give it a high tech, while simultaneously attractive, look. These are not Cartiers, but that is the point; they are the new face of what a successful young person chooses in a designer watch.

Breitling

Breitling_Watches are the essence of perfection; the perfect marriage of performance and style. The first watch ever created with a “push piece” for changing the time and date, Breitling makes each watch to aviation standards. The catalog of Breitling watches will give you a pallet of watches to choose from in styles that suit every taste.

ChronoSwiss

Save the best for last. For function above all, the brand is ChronoSwiss. Watchmaker Gerd-R Lang is not only considered a genius of watchmaking; he is the founder of ChronoSwiss. With an admitted “screw loose,” Lang has created some of the most highly sought-after watches in the world. Each of his designs is a work of art and an imaginative twist on sheer perfection. Every intimate detail of these timepieces is handcrafted and scrutinized for exactness by the most highly educated watchmaking engineers in the world.

The Timepiece for You

Picking the watch that meets your needs as well as compliment your overall style can be difficult. Always use the designer's official Web site when looking for a watch. Going to discounted sites may not give you the correct information or even an authentic product; it is not likely that you will find a $50,000 ChronoSwiss on a BizRate Web site, for example.

When you use the official designer watch sites, you can get reliable, up-to-the-minute information about certified retailers, and you can also use their communications portals to get information about the watches directly from the maker. You can also use the sites to refer you to certified retailers who will assist you with watch repair and cleaning.

Above all, choose the watch that suits you perfectly. You do not want to spend $3,000+ on something that is not just right for your taste and needs.
