Rating of manual clocks. Best men's watches: what kind of company choose

When choosing a gift to a status person, they pop up in memory as the first option. Of course, not everyone on his pocket a similar thing, and the original from the fake to distinguish should be able to be able to. What is this? I became a Swiss watch! Quality, stylish, insanely expensive, but just luxurious. There is even a rating of Swiss watch brands, and the most popular models of a simple man in the street can see on the hands of the strengths of this world.

When there is no need for advertising

Do you know many things that advertising in principle is not needed? Always, because the fashion is a change of graduate, and it rarely focuses on any prerequisites. But the best Swiss is not subject to. Thanks to first-class quality and original design, they firmly settled in the masterpiece group, which in the remote alpine country employ the proven giants of the industry and promising family ateliers.

Original Swiss watches can be compared with exclusive cars that are issued to order. Each case of a chronometer is an absolute work of art. Therefore, the rating of Swiss watch brands is relevant without comparing the models themselves, but only on the basis of logos.

Business card Switzerland

Agree, in most cases, the original Switzerland on your wrist does not need a description. This is already a kind of style, status and respect from others. If a person can afford the original Swiss watches, then it has reached a certain level in the life. It may apply for respect, appreciates the subtlety of production, and exceptional quality. And if he correctly appreciated the situation and among many brands chose the best, Swiss, hours in this case - this is also an indicator of taste. Many centuries of the Master of Switzerland conquered the world with their clocks that have become an oddon of accuracy and quality. Almost less than a thousand firms with their own production will be raised throughout the country. Of course, the competition is simply unimaginable, so only those who are not relaxing for a minute can be taken to the position of the leader. Therefore, the rating of Swiss watch brands is impossible to compile, relying on any specific criteria, the best one can become simultaneously if you provide an appropriate level of production. But if you have a young firms on the pedestal of honor, the industry giants still have a centuries-old history starting from the middle of the seventeenth century.

How it was all ...

In the distant times of religious wars, which, by the way, shake Europe and today, began the massive relocation of Huguenots. Among them were a lot of talented individuals, which before perfectly honed their watch craftsmanship.

Gradually, a historical rating of Swiss watch brands was compiled. As a criterion, you can take trends in production, relevance, price and complexity of mechanisms. Therefore, there is no single rating, and a whole bunch of individual myths, supported by personal preferences of buyers, is collected around each brand. There is already a stereotype of a kind of kind, according to which the best brand is Swiss - which are at a price comparable to Tissot, but have more admirers. Manufacturers rationally approach to drawing up popularity ratings, giving a pedestal of honorable with their own products. Of course, the real state of affairs is such a rating of Swiss watch brands does not reflect. The unconditional leadership of the old manufacturers will not be truthful, since today there is an abundance of adact "young" models, such as, let's say, the watch company Maurice Lacroix.

Status Gift

What is the image of a strong and powerful person? The stereotype is the official trouser costume, the tears of the tie and the slim fragrance of elite perfume. But the person does not only clothing, but also the status accessories, among which the briefcase of the skin, cufflinks from gold, a tie pin and a clock. The first thing in the media began to mention the watch brand Breguet. And in prestige there is no competitors at the Rolex and Cartier brands. But, alas, the gift version of such a brand seems somewhat utopian, since a rare person in our time can find enough amount in its budget for such a purchase. In essence, such a gift is a work of art that obliges to fit.

Brenda cost rating

With this calculation it is necessary to take into account various factors. After all, not only sales and retail cost is important, but also a specific assessment that is exposed to the Swiss hours. The price, of course, in any case will be biting, but it justifies itself, as it is determined by half features and used materials, but by half the manufacturer's name. Dear Watch Swiss - Men's toys, a kind of fetish, some names here give joy and sounds music. Wealthy people choose Rado, Longines, Breitling, Martin Braun, Rodolphe, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Ebel, Maurice Lacroix, Raymond Weil, Perrelet. You can not call, of course, democratic and Saint Honore, Louis Erard, Roamer, Michel Herbelin, Tissot, but still, when buying, they are less costly.

Honorary first place

And there is no indisputable leader here, except that you can mention the leadership positions on certain criteria. It all depends on what purpose the potential owner of the clock is haunted. If when buying an emphasis is on high quality, the position of the leader on the right occupies the Geneva watch house Patek Philippe. The products of this house differ in unprecedented accuracy and reliability. The company holds the brand and all the details - from the bolts to the hourly mechanisms - does it yourself. This, rather, the watches are swiss male, as they do not take the grace of the mechanism, but they are attracted by stability. Among the fans of the brand, Vladimir Putin, Andy Warhol, and even Lion Tolstoy. And the quality lovers do not stop even the fact that the price of 20 thousand dollars for such Swiss watches.

But the most expensive clock brand is Rolex. The brand value exceeds 5.074. The brand began its history in 1908. For the clock industry, this period is not big, nevertheless, during this time, Mark was able to take a worthy place. Rolex chronometers prefer public personality, seeking to emphasize social status. For example, among fans of the company - Singer Rihanna, Bruce Willis and Nicholas Cage. But evidence that people love to taste, will be a choice in their favor Carlos Sliema, who is a richest man on Earth. Well, a very solid accessory, because Rolex is a Swiss watch, the price of which begins with 10 thousand dollars.

Troika leaders

Who else can be attributed to the most popular brands? Many admirers have a Swiss brand Omega watches. Attracts the fact that the brand is positioning itself as a prevalence quality, and not the use of precious metals. But the popular brand is Swiss, the Women's Watch release is Vacheron Constantin. His works are characterized by elegance and sophisticated style. Founded by the company in the distant 1755. Such a long history is explained by the accuracy of the Swiss mechanism together with an exclusive design. In the decoration of their chronometers, the brand applies precious stones, color gold and platinum, so it is not surprising that this Swiss watch brand sets the price range in the area of \u200b\u200b60 thousand euros per copy.

Fresh blood

The rating would not be complete if we forgot about young, but promising companies. If they do not mention them, it may seem that the Santovshchyna reigns on the hour, and therefore the young undeservedly bypass. So, one of the iconic representatives of Switzerland is Hublot. The company appeared in 1980 in Nione thanks to the efforts of the Entrepreneur Carlo Crocco, but remained in the shadows until 2004, when Jean-Claude Beaver bought it, which literally breathed in production a new life. For a short time, the brand became recognizable and acquired a circle of admirers. What caused such popularity? Innovative approach and bold decisions are relatively combined in the production of materials. The company combines gold and rubber, tantalum and rose gold, magnet and titanium. C.

aces Swiss male futuristic design attracted the attention of the whole crowd of lovers to stand out. Such eclectic combinations prefer well-known policies, actors, athletes. In the medium of brand fans, the legendary Diego Maradonna and the English trainer Sir Swiss brand is not cheaper, the most budget model is estimated at 23 thousand dollars. This is a vivid example of how the brand remains independent of the size of the company and price proposals. For the ranking, the main thing is the style of communication and the correct work with the clientele. If the client wants to stand out, then you need to give it this opportunity.

Roting position with jewelry slope

The rating of Swiss watch brands by itself involves the presence of expensive brands in it, the acquisition of which is not affordable ordinary ordinary people. But in recent years, the clock is gradually losing its relevance in the role of a chronometer directly. Now it is not just a useful accessory, but also a truly jewelry, which is not ashamed to go out. The watch becomes the pride of the owner, so their beauty is now paramount. From this point of view, the unsurpassed leader will be the Swiss company Rolex, which prominent men of the world love. But cute ladies prefer the Chopard watch house, which is famous for the production of models with ultralume calibration and attractive design. This is a brand in quality undeniable Swiss. Women's clock This brand prefer Salma Hayek and Sheron Stone. Very valuable jewelry toy, because on average, the price of Chopard watches is 35 thousand dollars.

Sport criterion

But after all, luxury things appreciate not only secular lions and influential businessmen. Many Fans of Swiss Quality Soul Sports Style, which offers an IWC clockmark, or La Watch. Such clock loved Winston Churchill and many well-known politicians. The average price of such hours is 26 thousand dollars.

But the Swiss brand Blancpain remains in a number of popular for more than three centuries.

Maybe this explains the incredibly high price of 50 thousand dollars per copy?! Although it is difficult to challenge the value of these luxury watches that combine the traditions of the past with the development of modernity. Such a work of art can only be released by limited edition.

Democracy in practice

Doesn't there be any brand among the Swiss clocks of the highest quality, which would take care of middle-class representatives? How to say. For example, in the hourly capital of Switzerland, which is considered to be the town of Le La Lé Local in the mountain province of Jura, in 1853 a company introduced the Swiss watch "Tissot". The main goal of the company's masters is to maintain traditions, but at the same time surprise, - found its fans in more than 150 countries. Already 157 years old, Mark occupies his honorable place in the rating of watch brands, producing increasingly functional models. But the main charm of the brand lies in its relative availability. The symbiosis of the brand qualities allows many years to remain partner of NASCAR, FIBA, AFL, CBA, the Grand Prix for Motorsport and World Cycling Championships, fencing and hockey. Agree, such cooperation only for the benefit of a developing brand!

According to my observations, people are divided into two categories: those who can not tolerate wrist hours, and those who do not imagine their lives without them.

Given that this accessory from fashion comes out much slower than, for example, the next season shoes, the purchase of only one hours can close the question "fashionable not fashionable", "stylishly not stylish" is very long.

The main thing here is to choose with the mind. And this does not necessarily mean the purchase of hours from the leading jewelry or manufactory brand. More budget brands are also entitled to become an excellent investment. But, if, in the case of some Patek Philippe, the investment will also be a good financial investment, then the right basic clock from a democratic brand can become a successful investment for the whole of your wardrobe. And this means that you can wear them very much and very long, without fearing that over the years they will come out of fashion. As for me, what you need! :-)

How to choose women's wristwatches?

So I dedicate this review by a democratic clock and watch brands that look stylish, and often much more expensive than they actually cost.

I remind you that in the assortment line of the clock as the most democratic and luxury brands there is a certain "fork" of value. This review will be discussed about the clock in the budget of the equivalent 200-1000 USD.

But, of course, in some marks listed by me, you can find clocks and cheaper, and more expensive by us "forks".

Review of brands of democratic women's watches

Tissot (Tissot)

Country of origin - Switzerland. Since 1985, the brand belongs to the SWATCH Group Ltd. concern.

This brand has no one decade of friendship with the Russian market (before the First World War, the Tissot were watch suppliers for the officer of the Russian army). Still remains one of our most popular with the ideal price and quality ratio.

The brand adheres to the policy of creating "luxury" clocks at a democratic price. All models use the same technologies as in the production of expensive Swiss watches. But the price is consistently pleasant - from 150 to $ 1000.

Seiko (Siako)

Country of origin - Japan. Sometime, these calm Asians with their low-cost quartz clocks almost wrap the Swiss watch market. Now, while maintaining the average price segment, they are slowly, but confidently conquer middle a niche. The restraint of forms with interest is compensated by the not killed by the quality of the mechanism and the introduction of the latest technologies.

The most simple female model of wristwatches will cost $ 150, the most beautiful is about $ 800. But there are also universal models (unisex) for $ 3000.

Fossil (Fossil)

American watch brand. Famous in that cool combines the design of the 50s with the latest trends.

But for the lovers of more stringent lines, here too, there is its own model. The choice is huge! And the price starts only from $ 100. To accurately buy a clock that you will wear long, focus on models with wide straps.

Skagen (Skagen)

Brand comes from Denmark. Hence the real Scandinavian design - concise and nonsense. More precisely, from Denmark, the founders of the brand - the spouses of YORST. In the late 80s, they moved to the United States, where they implemented their American dream, creating cool clock at a democratic price. After another two years, they conquered American youth and even received an award as "the fastest growing business in the United States." Today, Skagen is sold in more than 65 countries of the world.

The price starts from $ 100.

SWATCH (card)

Well, how without them! It is these funny plastic accessories, more like children's toys, the Swiss watch market is obliged to rescue from ruthless Japanese expansion in the form of inexpensive quartz clocks Seiko. It was necessary to urgently invent something, and local watchmakers decided to combine Swiss quality with plastic materials and a bright design. The move was so advantageous that now the SWATCH Group concern is such brands like Harry Winston, Omega, Rado and many others.

Today, Swatch can find not only their famous colorful plastic watches, but also models more serious in the area from 150 to $ 300.

Lyfhak! SWATCH will definitely pay attention to men's models. They are also very cool and coarse as part of the women's wardrobe.

Emporio Armani (Emporio Armani)

I bow before the talent of Signora Georgio conquer the love of the consumer. Everything is in demand from the dresses from-couture to exclusive chocolate. The so-called "second" line Emporio Armani was launched in 1981. And it caused a considerable outrage in trendy circles. How is it compromising the very concept of high fashion?! But Armani did not respond to attacks, did not retire the ashamed of the link to the island, but did what he considered it necessary. And now we consider how many seconds and then in the order of the lines now the famous couturiers have shuffled?

The clock, like all the products on which the name of the Matra, is distinguished by good quality. For what you love. The price starts from $ 200.

Just Cavalli (Jast Cavalli)

And here is another second line to all famous couturiers. Roberto Cavalli was founded in 1998. Mark's clothing is worthy of a separate review. But the production of accessories, in particular - hours, is also possible to brand at the highest level. Buy the clock on which the Grand Name will be depicted is 100 $ and above.

Calvin Klein (Kelvin Klein)

Country of origin - Switzerland (brand - USA). Mark belongs to the already mentioned SWATCH Group Ltd. concern. So here the American practicality is successfully combined with Swiss quality. In American online stores, the price starts from $ 100.

Burberry (Burberry)

Country of origin Brand - England. Country of production - Switzerland. Fans of the famous cell - you here. If you do not want to part with a lovedest pattern for a minute, then these watches are created for you. The brand's creative chip is the plated straps (all in the same cell) and bracelets in the form of a chain with the symbols of Great Britain.

The cost of the model with the legendary print - from $ 300.

Guess (Ges)

Country of origin - USA. This is truly "stylish-fashion-youth." Mark, which keeps up with all fashion trends. Despite its strongness, the models are quite universal and coarse.

The initial price is $ 100. And the models from previous collections on the sale are sold even cheaper.

Anne Klein (Anna Klein)

Country of origin - USA. Very comfortable, high-quality and inexpensive clock, hotly beloved by ordinary Americans. It is more profitable to buy abroad.

MICHAEL KORS (Michael Cors)

Country of origin - USA. Lovers of loud and recognizable names - brand for you. Typically american, exquisitely verified and at the same time unobtrusively luxurious handwriting of the corsa is found for the mile. American classic in its best manifestation. And the price starts from $ 100. In Russia, it is sometimes twice as expensive. It makes sense to hunt them on American sales.

Marc Jacobs (Mark Jacobs)

Hot American guy Mark Jacobs In addition to the classic clothes and bags makes no less cool clock. The price starts from $ 100.

Dkny (di Kay En Way)

And again the United States. Another representative of the good American classics. Ideally found balance of fashion trends with classical versatility at a price of $ 150.

Jacques Lemans (Jacques Lehman)

This is Switzerland. Solidity, solidity and once again solidity. The brand is relatively young, but thanks to its impeccable quality (this is Switzerland!) Who has acquired many fans around the world. I also advise you to join them too and look at the clock of this brand more closely.

The price begins from $ 150.

TOUS (TUUS)

The main activity of the brand is the production of jewelry with cute bearings. If you want to buy a clock "out of time", then the model on a thin strap with golden bears is not the best idea. In Tous, there are many excellent basic clocks at a price of $ 200 and more expensive.

Examples from the last collection in the picture.

Diesel (diesel)

Brand comes from Italy. You can find it easily on male clock models. They cannot be confused with anything on some futuristic design and deliberately large dial. But female models are more laconic, although not less stylish. Stand from $ 200 and above.

Bulova (Bulova)

Country of origin - USA. But at the moment, headquarters and production are located in Switzerland.

For young Americans Bulova is the same status indicator, as for the Metropolitan fashionhouse, the bag from Fendi. The history of the brand is read like an exciting novel. The widest model range and compliance with the most bizarre demand. The price of $ 100 for quite a good watch up to $ 3000 for premium collection.

Gucci (Gucci)

Brand that does not need a view. Country of origin - Italy. Country of production - Switzerland.

Well, how is Tom Ford could get around such a source of income for the company as the production of hours? And in 1997, having bought a Swiss watch factory, Gucci starts their production. Thanks to the recognizable design, the prestigious name of the brand and excellent quality, the market they won enough quickly. It seems that no other clocks are forged in such quantities like Gucci.

And there is no sense to buy meaning. Since, despite the fact that the brand is luxury, the clock does at quite a democratic value for such a name (from $ 350).

What hours to choose?

First of all, high-quality and durable!

Where to look for them? Unfortunately, the clock is now fake no less famously than bags, so it is best to buy them in brand or well-proven stores. It is worth being very neat with jewelry brands, which only today sell oats with a stunning discount and only 500 dollars, with a normal cost of several thousand. The risk is too large on the fake. In addition, the jewelry house selling its products is nonsense!

On the rules of combining the shades of the metal of hours, jewelry, accessories for bags and other things, I tell in detail in the online school. Globally - all these "prohibitive" rules have long been abolished. Leather straps can also be purchased several pieces and change them from the image to the image.

If a truly expensive watch, decorated with the treasures of King Solomon, is primarily an investment, and they put them in extremely parade cases, then nonsense models, even if they are made with the addition of precious metals or simply crystals, serve in order to be worn . And today it is rather an accessory than a functional subject. Time can be done on your mobile. And close relationship with jewelry decorations allows hours not to leave fashion in seconds! Therefore, when choosing, focus on your own preferences, style, wardrobe and budget.

Is it worth saying that the world of the clock is diverse and amazing? Strict classic, emphasizing the punctuality and style of the owner, playful glamor, hinting for tenderness and sensuality, stylish causal ... perhaps, if you collect all the hours in the world, then they will be as individual as human emotions or fingerprints. And absolutely for each model there is your owner. The one for whom this watch will not be just an accessory, but by the incarnation of time and the ability to control its current.

Nevertheless, even in such a variety with the uniqueness of human tastes and preferences, experts can choose a hundred better options. It is them with complete confidence that you can call the perfect way of our time. So, we present to your attention 100 best models of hours.

The best of the best

In addition, among the stated "participants" of the selection on our official site there is both mechanical and quartz models, as well as electronic clocks. Yes, and the stylistics of each instance is their own:

Color variety

Color also plays in choosing Stamps watch An important role. In addition to 2002, a group of scientists from America concluded that the wrist is one of the most active energy points of the human body. The impact on the energy of the color was practiced in ancient China, so if the wrist is fixed or a bracelet of a certain color on the wrist, you can achieve very impressive results. Such ways of exposure can be attributed to the wearing hours. That is why their choice is so important for each of us:

• So, the red color stimulates activity and increases the temperature. Such clock Recommended to wear people suffering from hypotension or lack of motivation.
• Black color is able to reduce pressure and temperature, as well as clarify thoughts and add inconsistencies in words and actions.
• Green is superbly soothing unnecessary emotional nature, stabilizing mental state.
• Blue is able to give confidence and determination, light tones set up on the romantic perception of the world.

• White. The most universal color capable of cleaning his head from unnecessary thoughts, and the heart is from the experiences. It is recommended to those who suffer from excessive criminality and insecurity.

The number of trademarks under which the wristwatch is produced, more and more are becoming every year. Some offer mechanisms in the budget price segment, others are focused on the high consumer class and cost thousands of dollars. It is noteworthy that some brands die also quickly, as born, while real leaders continue to occupy the serious positions of world ratings and amazing consumers with unusual innovations.
