Want To Go All Swiss? Wear A Swiss Watch

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Because of the fact Swiss wrist watches are the best in the watch making industry let’s try to break from the stereotype, “best watches equals Swiss watches.’ While they are undeniably more expensive, let’s have a little fun with edgier watches. Let’s explore more of the other brands in the industry and take a second look at the eye catching designs and innovations of non Swiss watches in the market. Funky is now the other name of the new Omega.

Same old, same old?

If Swiss made watches were men and women, they would be likened to the most beautiful men and women. But, there are times you may want to walk a different direction away from the commonly know standards of perfection. Do you imagine yourself digging for something new, unique and fresh? Yes, I know what you mean… Before we go sour graping because watches for ladies and men’s watches are apparently expensive, let’s check out the other side and see the charm of conventional watches made by Levis, Tokyoflash, Marc by Marc Jacobs, ASOS, and Nooka. Take a refresher course in your watches by glancing at these anything but conventional watches.

Anything but conventional?

The growing trend in the watch industry today is for the funky and unique designs. In many cases, the bracelets of these watches come in the most unusual shapes and they are bathed in the most unlikely of colors. For a more sporty look, a velcro strap watch in colors of green, red or traditional black and brown come aplenty, slowly doing away with the traditional leather bands.

The products are really great, one-of-a kind cool watches. These new age watches defy the norms. They can be described as art pieces in and of themselves.. The swirl of colors and playful lights circulating in the LED watches draw people far and wide. These watches also show time in really uncanny ways. As an additional info on LED watches, some of them tell time using several lighted dots. We can only imagine how that works. The trend today is a sort of style evolution toward more unique, artistically inspired watches. Even better, these can double as either men’s or ladies’ watches.

Let’s dissect this style evolution

The bands of these unique wrist watches are wider and have more colors. They are also more commonly made of leather and plastic rather than the steel. These give them a look that is flashier.

Next, we have the watch cases. The cases of the new age wrist watches are in the extremes. They can be extremely big or extremely little. They can also be overly horizontal and overly vertical. Ignore it saying the styles of the cases are a lot and oftentimes not modern. They come out from the usual hour and minute hand to the show of lights through the use of new materials and technology.  One such method is through the use of light emission diodes (LED) The technology of light emission display allows the time to appear at one push of a button.  Also, the light can manipulated to different shapes and styles giving  the possibility of limitless color combinations and shape formations. Irresistible.

A change once in a while is good, and sweeping through watch making industry. Let’s give them a big welcome!

Japanese Watches: Must Haves In Time-Telling

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Japan is home to some of the most technologically advanced products and gadgets. It’s no surprise that their Japanese watches are held in the same accord. Japan after all, paved way for the mass production of accurate men’s and women’s watches.

Why do people choose Japanese watches?

We’ve seen Japanese watches in their crazy and unique designs. We’ve witnessed them come up with a lot of firsts in the history of watches. Seiko watches produced the first Quartz watch as well as the first TV watch. They have contributed much to the development of watches, earning a reputation for their creativity and ingenuity. However, their greatest attraction lies in their ability to perfect the balance between affordability and quality.

Define affordable

An affordable cheap wrist watch is attractively priced. Aesthetics? Check. Function? Check. Price? What is more depressing than seeing that ultimate watch but it is so expensive you can’t buy it? Japanese watches leave little room for disappointment

You could go from flashy to formal with the Tokyoflash Negative. It has time and date functions. LCD display, AM/PM 12 hr/24 hr modes, vertical/horizontal modes, daily and date alarms, and a backlight of 7 colors. The watch sells at $170.

And of course, can always go with the simpler, but no less functional Nekura Transceiver at $90. See? It is not necessary to spend a week’s savings for a good watch.

Quality much?

Logically, you will be looking for a gorgeous watch that functions well, one that stands the test of time as well as man’s penchant for accident. The most important thing is you want a watch that is sure to work and a lot more. Japanese watches are known to have 5 standard features: shock resistant, water resistant, automatic, and day/date display.

Affordability + Quality = Japanese Watches

It’s hard to see those qualities fit a limited budget. Japan made watches make it look so easy. Its 2 leading brand of women’s and mens dress watches, Seiko and Citizen are experts in perfecting the formula to an affordable watch with ensured quality.

Seiko watches

Seiko watches gained publicity after inventing Quartz technology. They keep re-inventing in terms of technology and design but don’t put their prices so high as compared with other watches.

Their newest addition is the Seiko Spring drive, the first one to have the tri-syncho function. Seiko Spring Drive is the only watch with hand motions which truly reflect the nature of time. It is one feature that Seiko believes other companies can’t duplicate. The watch is water resistant to 100meters with a stainless steel case, a power reserve of 72 hours and an accuracy equivalent to 1 second per day. $3495 is the selling price.

The Omega Seamaster is at one distinct advantage only – water resistant up to 600 meters but retails at $3280.

Citizen watches

Citizen is known for their Eco drive series, the light powered watches. Eco Drive Watches run continuously in any kind of artificial or natural light for lifetime use, so no battery is needed. The Eco drive has a titanium case and is water resistant up to 200 meters. Price? Only $395.

Finding perfect watches to buy is no longer a worry, for there’s always the trusty Japanese watches. In no time, everybody who knows how to sport a good watch will be turning Japanese.
