Newest Posts About men's watches

There are some countries that are especially prominent in the watchmaking world, namely Switzerland and Japan. This is because Swiss and Japanese watch brands have played a huge role in forging the industry into what it is today.  That said, people sometimes forget that other countries can also master the art of making watches, and with their own unique touches to boot. This is why we have curated a list of the best Italian watch brands in the market, along with Italian watches in their catalogs that you should definitely check out. Read on to find out more. 10 Italian Watch Brands and the Best Italian Watches They Offer 1. Bulgari  To start off our list strong, we have Bulgari. This is one of the most well-established Italian watch brands in the market. Bulgari is a beloved name in the fashion industry and has been gracing the world with its well-crafted jewelry for over a century now.  One thing that sets Bulgari apart from other companies is how it integrates its mastery over making accessories with watchmaking. This gives Bulgari’s Italian watches a certain, special flair that virtually no other brand can replicate, making the brand even more appealing to watch collectors.  Bulgari caters to both men and women. These Italian watches can be divided into eight different collections. For ladies, Bulgari offers the Serpenti, Lucea, Divas’ Dream, High Jewelry, Bulgari Bulgari, and Grande Complications watch lines. Men, on the other hand, can choose from the Octo, Gerald Genta, Bulgari Bulgari, and Grande Complications collections.  One of Bulgari’s most highly-regarded watches is the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ref. 103464, which boasts a very modern and chic look. This is a very impressive model, both in terms of design and engineering, as it shows off an ultra-slim exterior that only the best watchmakers can achieve. With a price tag of around $12,000 USD, this piece gives you a good estimate of Bulgari’s price range.  2. Gagà Milano Another Italian watch brand you should keep on your radar is Gagà Milano. It is a relatively new player in the watchmaking game, having been founded in the early 2000s.  The word Gagà refers to a common Milanese expression used to describe a man who is sophisticated both in manners and style. This definition plays a big role in the concept of Gagà Milano, which revolves around intricate and modern watchmaking techniques. Today, Gagà Milano specializes in creating stylish, chic, and eccentric Italian watches that truly complement the individuality of its wearer.  Gagà Milano has a very extensive catalog in its arsenal, consisting of numerous watch lines with very diverse models. Some of the collections under its belt include the Napoleone, Manuale 48mm, Classic, Slim, Quirky Tourbillon, Silver, and many more. The brand also has a special, limited-edition series developed in collaboration with famous football player Neymar Jr, the Neymar Jr. Limited Edition. Given its unconventionality as a watch manufacturer, there is little wonder why so many aficionados have been captivated by Gagà Milano.  Another great thing about Gagà Milano is that it has reasonably-priced pieces that typically fall within the $500 USD to $3,000 USD range. For instance, the Gagà Milano Manuale 48mm Ref. 5213MIR01S is one of its best-selling models. Priced at just $1,380 USD, it has a very fun and quirky design that truly stands out amongst the more traditional, classic watches. It is a great starter piece for those who enjoy playful, avant-garde accessories. 3. Panerai  Next on our list of Italian watch brands is Panerai, another well-established manufacturer of Italian watches. This company was founded by Giovanni Panerai in 1960. It acted as a store, a workshop, and a watchmaking school.  In the decades that followed, Panerai was able to make a name for itself and eventually became one of the most luxurious watchmakers in the industry. Today, Panerai is known for its stylishly bold timepieces that are just as impressive on the inside.  Reputation-wise, Panerai is one of the go-to brands for those who love oversized watches. The timepieces Panerai make are incredibly robust yet elegant, which makes them a great addition to any watch collection.  The brand’s watches can be divided into four different lines: the Submersible, the Luminor, the Luminor Due, and the Radiomir. While this might seem like a limited selection of models, the Italian brand manages to cover all the important categories, from hardy survival watches to more formal dress pieces.  One of the most renowned models in Panerai’s assortment is the Panerai PAM 125. This is a handsome piece from the brand’s Luminor series and it showcases a simple yet rugged exterior. While it has a more straightforward design, its simplicity complements the overall sportiness and robustness of the watch. Priced at around $5780 USD, this is a fail-safe option for novice Panerai collectors. 4. Gucci In this entry, we have one of the most famous names in the fashion industry: Gucci. While it is more famous for its flamboyant luxury apparel, Gucci also has an array of designer timepieces in its portfolio.  Gucci was founded in 1921, by its namesake Guccio Gucci. However, the brand only started creating Swiss-made watches in 1972. As an Italian watch brand, however, Gucci also made sure to incorporate the vibrancy that comes with its cultural roots into the pieces it creates. This is precisely why Gucci watches are perfect for those who enjoy overtly extravagant accessories.  This big-league fashion brand has a decently-sized selection of timepieces in its catalogue. These watches are mainly categorised into two sections: men’s watches and women’s watches. However, the brand also has special collections such as the Gucci 25H Timepieces, G-Timeless, and Grip watches.  If you are a fan of Gucci’s clothing lines, you probably have a good idea as to how much its products cost already. Indeed, Gucci’s watches come at a similar price range too, starting at $500 USD and going up to around $1,500 USD.  One of the most popular models under this brand is the Gucci G-Timeless Ref. YA1264148. This watch shows off a striking and elaborate design that fully embodies the Gucci name. This makes it very recognisable and true to the brand’s stylistic core. It sells at around $870 USD.  5. Emporio Armani  Like Gucci, Emporio Armani is another very well-known name in the luxury fashion world. Founded in 1975 by Giorgio Armani, the brand started making timepieces rather early on. This allowed Emporio Armani to quickly establish a place for itself in the premium watch market. Emprio Armani watches tend to boast classical Italian styles which are incredibly versatile, perfect for all kinds of occasions.   At present, Emporio Armani has more than 100 timepieces in its diverse portfolio, with about 58 watches for women and 72 models for men. On top of that, all Emporio Armani pieces showcase quintessential designs that are easy to pair with different outfits. If you want a more classic take on Italian watches, Emporio Armani is definitely the brand to check out. The best part is that you do not have to break the bank for these watches, as they typically range from around $100 USD to $600 USD.  Take, for instance, the incredibly affordable Emporio Armani Renato Ref. AR11184, which costs just $150 USD. With its subtle all-black colourway, this watch has a stylish and chic aesthetic that goes well with just about any ensemble. While it may not be as striking or as fancy as some of the other Italian watches mentioned in this list, its straightforwardness is what makes it worth checking out.  6. Salvatore Ferragamo Next, we have Salvatore Ferragamo. As with Gucci and Armani, this Italian luxury brand is renowned in the fashion industry. It was founded in 1927 by is namesake, Salvatore Ferragamo. Today, it is best known for offering bold and sophisticated goods such as shoes, bags, and even timepieces. Watches are not actually Salvatore Ferragamo’s specialty. Nevertheless, it has been able to produce excellently-crafted models that wonderfully combine Italian designs with Swiss watchmaking.  Salvatore Ferragamo watches can be categorised into timepieces for men and women, amounting to around 70 models in total. While it may sound like the brand has limited options, it actually presents a rather wide variety of watch types for you to choose from. These range from chronographs and skeleton pieces, to dress and sports watches.  On top of that, Salvatore Ferragamo is also famous for having sustainable, environmentally-friendly models. These were made with less negative environmental impact than standard timepieces from other brands. In general, the prices of Salvatore Ferragamo watches range from around $800 USD to $2,000 USD.  Our favorite piece from Salvatore Ferragamo is the Ferragamo Experience Watch which is priced at $1195 USD. This is a standout timepiece that boasts an excellent mix of Swiss and Italian craftsmanship. It has a sporty, masculine build that exudes very casual and laidback vibes. On the whole, this is a good starter piece for those who are unfamiliar with Italian watches.  7. Locman Locman, on the other hand, is a company that only true Italian watch connoisseurs would know. Founded in the 1980s by Marco Mantovani, this brand stands out because of its specific, unique vision and concept.  Locman was first established in the Island of Elba. As a result most, if not all of its timepieces are inspired by the sea. The brand has also made sure to incorporate its devotion and high regard for its home in every watch it produces, allowing for some truly meaningful creations.  Locman currently has 10 different collections: Amo, Limited Editions, Montecristo, 1960, Stealth, Mare, Ducati, Sport Anniversary, Island, and Isle d’Elba. Each series shows off different styles and functions, raising from sporty and casual to classic and formal.  Another cool thing about Locman is that it offers a rather wide range of prices. Its watches start at approximately $400 US and can go up to over $1,00 USD. Ultimately, as a watchmaker, Locman believes that refinement and Italianness come hand-in-hand, and this is definitely reflected in its portfolio.  The Isola d’Elba Ref. 0460A02-00BLWHPB serves as the perfect representation of what Locman’s watchmaking ideals are all about. It has a marine-inspired exterior that showcases both traditional and modern design cues. This watch also runs on a powerful quartz Miyota 2115 movement, making it a treat in terms of both visuals and functionality. Retailing at around $535 US, this is a great choice for those who love dive watches.  8. Anonimo Anonimo is one of the best options for those seeking an Italian watch brand that incorporates Swiss watchmaking into their process. While it might not be as prestigious as some of the other brands on this list, Anonimo has truly mastered the art of fusing Italian and Swiss watchmaking techniques, and this shows clearly in its catalog. Looks-wise, Anonimo watches look quite similar to some Panerai models. As such, it is an excellent option for those who love robust and chunky accessories.  Anonimo offers four main collections: Epurato, Militare, Nautilo, and the Special Series. While these watches differ in size, shape, colorway, and functionality, all the models Anonimo offers come an air of sophistication that not many other brands can replicate. Anonimo watches are typically priced at around $2,000 USD to $6,000 USD.  The Anonimo Epurato Ref. AM-4000.01.101.W11 shows off a ruggedly handsome build paired with an excellent Swiss-made SW200-1 movement. Despite its large size, it still boasts a rather elegant feel, thanks to its simple and straightforward design. Worth around $2,300 USD, this is definitely a model to check out if you enjoy sturdy Italian watches.  9. Zannetti The next Italian watch brand on our list is Zannetti, which has some of the most artistic timepieces out there. Just by looking at any one of its creations, and you can tell that the value that Zannetti places on style and visuals.  Zannetti was founded in 1982 by Riccardo Zannetti, with the aim of spreading Italian creativity to the world. Decades later, it is safe to say that the brand has been able to achieve this goal. It has consistently produced beautifully-designed watches that show off clear, flamboyant Italian influences.  With a total of 14 collections under its belt, you certainly will not run out of options with Zannetti. Each and every watch line it has revolves around a certain theme or concept that reflects its Italian heritage. For example, the brand has a Gladiator and a Palatino series, both of which are associated with Rome. Since Zannetti’s watches are nothing short of masterful, their thousand dollar price tags seems quite justified on the whole. One of the brand’s most intriguing models is the Zannetti Discobolo. This watch takes inspiration from the famous statue of the same name. The dial of this piece shows off the brand’s artistic interpretation of the sculpture, giving it a very classic Roman aesthetic. The Zannetti Discobolo is priced at around $8,500 USD.  10. Mazzucato Last but definitely not the least, we have Mazzucato. This is an Italian watch brand that offers ultra-modern timepieces. It was founded by Simone Mazzucato, who is also the brilliant mind behind the brand’s forward-looking designs. With a background in Industrial Design, Mazzucato shared his expertise with the world by creating cutting-edge timepieces that boast utmost functionality.  Mazzucato currently has five collections: RIM Sport, RIM Monza, RIM Scuba, RIM GT, and RIM SUB. While each line has a different purpose, every single Mazzucato watch comes with an incredibly advance design that only true masters can craft.  To fit its #NeverBoring slogan, Mazzucato is not bound by traditional watchmaking techniques at all. The brand values innovation in all aspects, which allows it to stand out from the other watchmakers in this list. That said, good things do not come cheap. Expect to drop a couple thousand bucks to get your hands on a Mazzucato timepiece.  One of Mazzucato’s most striking models is the RIM Sport Chronograph. This watch makes use of the brand’s signature Reverse Industrial Movement (RIM) which allows for 2 dials and 2 movements in one watch. One side is driven by a high-performance automatic mechanism while the other showcases an excellent chronograph movement.   It also has a very powerful and futuristic-looking exterior that perfectly matches its robust mechanism. If you are hooked on this watch like we are, all you need is $1,400 USD to acquire one for yourself.  Final Thoughts  While this list only has ten Italian watch brands, there are definitely others out there that also deserve to be recognized. Many of them serve as a reflection of both Italian culture and watchmaking which is why they are worth researching on. Hopefully, this article has shown you that there is more to the industry than just Swiss and Japanese-made watches!  Photo Credits: Official Watch Brand SitesEnjoy reading listicles? Check out this piece on the 15 Best Tonneau Watches!

Watches come in all shapes and sizes. Aside from the usual round builds that most timepieces use, some are also molded into quirkier and more distinctive shapes. For instance, you have probably seen a number of square watches or rectangular watches. At some point, you might even have glimpsed the unique shape of the Hamilton Ventura watches from the movie franchise Men In Black. The Italian luxury watch brand Bvlgari even has a lineup of winding watches with a snake-like construction through its Serpenti collection.  In this article, we will be going through a roster of tonneau watches. But what exactly is a tonneau watch? Stick around as we find out just what is so special about this intriguing type of watch and its case shape. We will also be taking a look at the 15 best tonneau watches on the market.  Tonneau Watch: What is It Exactly? Image by: WatchTime Tonneau watches refer specifically to watches that come in tonneau-shaped cases. The French luxury watch brand Cartier was the pioneer of tonneau watches. Back in 1906, the brand was in the process of experimenting with timepieces that came in various shapes and dimensions.  Cartier’s efforts paid off with the release of a watch in the shape of what seemed to resemble a barrel: the Cartier Tonneau. Its name was derived from its unique look, as ‘tonneau’ is actually the French word for ‘barrel’. As one of Cartier’s earliest watches, the Cartier Tonneau certainly made an impact in the field of watch manufacturing. Even now, more than a hundred years later, tonneau-shaped cases are still used by watch brands worldwide, as part of a continuing trend.  Strictly speaking, the tonneau shape is neither a square nor a rectangle. Instead, it comes in a rectangular shape with curved edges and rounded corners, with a consistent smooth pattern that runs all throughout its figure. Tonneau watches are designed to rest as comfortably as possible on your wrist. Thanks to its level, curved outlines, the edges of this watch do not dig too deeply into your skin, unlike square or rectangular watches.  Now that we have a better idea of what tonneau watches are and where they came from, let us proceed with 15 of the best tonneau watches you can find on the market today. This list contains not just superb dress watches for men, but also wonderful women’s accessories that you could gift to the lovely ladies in your life. 15 Best Tonneau Watches: 1. Fossil Wallace Ref.

On top of the watch case, you can find a fixed bezel which is studded with crystals that run all the way down to the watch’s lugs, adding to the watch’s look of refined luxury.  This Fossil watch’s all-silver exterior is complemented by a plain white dial. It is composed of silver-tone Roman numeral markers in a slim typeface and elegant pencil hands. Underneath this watch face, you can find a battery-powered quartz movement that is very easy to maintain.  The Fossil Wallace Ref. ES3174 is a wonderful dress watch that looks far more than it costs. You can purchase this Fossil Wallace timepiece for just $109 USD.  2. Emporio Armani Retro Ref.

Memorable and Thoughtful. One big reason why people choose to get personalized gifts is that there can be so much more meaning behind them. The same, of course, goes for custom engraved watches. Giving a timepiece that is tailor-made for the recipient shows how much thought went into that present, making it even more special. This makes it a more memorable gift than one you just pick out of the store.  2. One-of-a-Kind. Another great thing about custom engraved watches is that they are truly one-of-a-kind. Whatever inscription you decide to engrave on a timepiece is unique because it is a reflection of your relationship with the recipient. Whether it is simple initials or a memorable date, having that permanently carved into the watch makes it really special.  3. Tells a Story. While people often opt for names or initial inscriptions, you also have the option of engraving something unique about your relationship with the recipient. You can choose a word, a phrase, or a date that means a lot to both of you, which can tell a story or even unlock a memory for the recipient.  15 Custom Engraved Watches  1.

Typically, men do not have as many jewellery options compared to women. This is why watches are often considered their ultimate daily companions. Gifting a good timepiece to your male friends would probably be one of the best decisions you will ever make since watches are generally stylish and can go well with any outfit. They are fully-functional. Gone are the days where watches were mainly reserved for time and date-telling. Most of them now come with numerous complications, such as a chronograph, a GMT feature, a moon phase indicator and much more. Without a doubt, timepieces are very useful to every man’s life. They serve as a direct reflection of the wearer’s style and personality. When you give a watch to your loved ones as a gift, you are also giving them the opportunity to express themselves freely. This is why it is important to carefully weigh down your options. Make sure to take the receiver’s fashion sense into consideration before actually making a decision.They serve as a reminder of time and relationships. A watch is the perfect gift if you want the receiver to instantly remember you and all the moments you have shared together. Aside from being valuable, it is an extremely meaningful accessory.  Factors To Consider When Buying A Watch As A Gift Price One of the first things you need to look at when buying a gift watch is the price. Once you have finally determined a price range that fits your budget, you will be able to significantly narrow down your choices. This makes it easier for you to purchase the right timepiece. Listed below are the common price ranges of men’s watches, and what you can potentially get for them: Under $100 USD: Reliable timepieces that rely on a quartz movement and are made from conventional materials$100 USD to $500 USD:  Well-designed quartz watches equipped with a few advanced features$500 USD to $2,000 USD: High-quality automatic and Swiss quartz watches$2,000 USD to $10,000 USD: Luxurious automatic timekeepers with impeccable craftsmanship$10,000 USD or more: Top-notch timetelling accessories made by renowned and well-respected luxury companies. These are crafted using the best materials and have characteristics that go way beyond expectations Ultimately, the decision will be all up to you. Whether you want to stick to an affordable men’s watch or splurge on a grandiose piece, it will surely be appreciated as long as you make an effort to choose wisely. You just have to trust your tastes and determine what piece will make the most sense for your budget.  Even if you opt for a less expensive timepiece as your present, it does not mean that it is of low quality. Low-cost materials, movements, and crystals are some of the reasons why certain timepieces are cheaper. Indeed, many brands excel in their craft despite working with such budget-friendly components.  Movements Speaking of movements, the next thing you should do is to pick out what mechanism will work best with the receiver’s lifestyle. There are a lot of types available in the market today. In fact, some movements are produced exclusively by certain brands, as part of their move towards innovation. This includes the Spring Drive by Grand Seiko, the Kinetic Auto Relay by Seiko, and the Eco-Drive by Citizen. However, we will just focus on the three primary types of movements that are frequently used by manufacturers:  Manual – Perhaps the least common type of movement, a manual movement is utilized by many long-standing luxury brands. Often seen in vintage timekeepers including pocket watches, it is extremely similar to the automatic movement. However, you must wind it up by hand for it to work. Watches equipped with such mechanisms have intricate and complicated parts. This is why they are considered ultimate collector’s items and even works of art. The only downside about them is that winding the crown often requires patience and attention. If he is always on the go, mechanical watches may not be suitable for him.Quartz – First released in the 1960s, this particular movement relies on a tiny quartz crystal and a battery for its power. Watches that run on it are generally the most affordable ones on the market. They are also less favored by many watch enthusiasts due to their simple and low-cost parts. Despite this, quartz mechanisms are easy to maintain and are the most accurate of the lot. Automatic – Bearing components similar to manual pieces, this mechanism is powered by energy from the movement of the wearer’s wrist. This is what gives it the name “automatic.”  Personality and Features Watches come with numerous functions. They can be water-resistant up to hundreds of meters, tell you the date and day of the week, track the altimeter or temperature of a certain area, and so much more. When choosing a gift, it is important to think about the person you are buying for. Assess his personality, then determine what kind of lifestyle he maintains. If he is the outdoorsy type, a rugged altimeter watch would be the best choice. For someone who travels frequently, you should consider gifting them a GMT watch. Size and Shape Determining the shape and size of your gift watch is an important factor as well. Round, square, rectangle and oval cases are the most common ones. If the receiver likes keeping things plain, you probably want to stick with watches with round cases since they are the most accessible.  When it comes to size, you should consider the wrist dimensions and the personal style of the potential wearer. Slender wrists and formal events often call for smaller pieces with thin straps, while the sportier lifestyles call for chunkier watches. Strap There are four kinds of materials you can choose from for the strap: metal, leather, rubber, and nylon. Metal and leather work in almost all situations, while rubber and nylon bands are often reserved for harsh conditions and extreme adventures. They are also for people who have daring and unique fashion sense.  If you are still quite confused with the numerous options available, you can buy a piece that has removable straps. This way, the receiver can change his watch strap according to his mood.  Final Thoughts All in all, there are endless options for men’s watches out there that you could give as gifts on special occasions. What’s more, they come with different price points, so scoring a piece that best fits your budget will not be a problem. While the list can be quite overwhelming, remember that whichever choice you land on, your loved one will surely cherish whatever you give them. We hope that this gift guide can help you find the perfect present for the most important men in your life. Want to know more about other watches that you could give out as gifts?

Given its diverse catalog, it can be a challenge to pick just one watch from the brand. That said, we ended up going with the Timex Navi XL. This automatic 41mm watch was first launched in a limited run, and was met with such huge demand that Timex eventually gave it a re-release.  In its current incarnation, this Timex watch is equipped with a reliable 21-jewel Japanese automatic movement. We chose this military-influenced watch for its popular demand and incredibly low price point.

This luxury brand is unstoppable when it comes to modern innovation. From its fresh designs to the use of materials, the brand never fails to impress.  The watch we have for you today is the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Twofold. This is a 45mm watch featuring a case made from the brand’s proprietary Mineral Composite Fiber (MCF). Roger Dubuis developed this ultra-white composite material made of 99.95% silica, as it allows for better and long-lasting illumination. Inside the watch is a manual-wound caliber RD01SQ with a double-flying tourbillon. You can observe this movement at work through the watch’s open-heart dial.  This Roger Dubuis watch is extremely rare, with only 8 pieces available. As such, it carries quite a hefty price tag of $276,000 USD.  4. Bulova Chronograph A You have most likely heard of Bulova before. Many people attribute the invention of the first electronic wristwatch to this brand. Indeed, the Bulova Accutron, released in 1960, helped pave the way for the brand’s success. However, there is more to the brand than just this watch. Take a look, for instance, at the Bulova Computron, or the equally iconic Chronograph A. The Chronograph A’s vintage look is inspired by the 1970s. This watch is nicknamed the “Surfboard” due to the oval shape on the dial of the watch which houses its two sub-dials. This design has since been adopted by brands like Breitling and Vulcan, but the Bulova Chronograph A remains the most iconic of all these men’s watches.  Realistically speaking, you will probably have a hard time looking for an original version of the Chronograph A. They are among some of the most expensive collector’s items today. That said, you can get a modern interpretation of the Chronograph A, with the same design as the original, but equipped with a quartz movement instead. You would have to fork out around $600 USD for this men’s watch.  5. Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Calibre 321 Of course, it would not be a list of best men’s watches without Omega. The brand Omega greeted 2020 with the launch of a new version of the Speedmaster, which they dubbed the “Ed White”. The Speedmaster Moonwatch “Ed White” Calibre 321 is named after the astronaut who wore a Speedmaster on the first ever spacewalk in 1965. The Speedmaster Moonwatch Calibre 321 boasts a classic combination of a stainless steel case and three-link bracelet. It comes with all the usual Speedmaster Moonwatch trappings, including three chronograph sub-dials, a bezel marked with a tachymeter scale, and a sleek three-hand layout. You can get this popular men’s watch at around $14,100 USD.  6. Zenith Defy 21 Chronograph Zenith has defied a lot of watchmaking principles in the past year or two. The brand’s effort can be seen now more than ever, as it leans into modern ideas and technology. One outstanding recent men’s watch from Zenith is the Defy 21 Ultraviolet. Incorporating the use of the brand’s famous El Primero 21 movement, this model stands out from the crowd because its movement has received an ultraviolet treatment that strikingly contrasts its titanium case.  This men’s watch comes in two different variants. You can choose between a sleeker black model, or a more streamlined and professional looking version in white. Both versions feature clean, brushed cases, alligator leather straps, three-dimensional dials, and scratch-resistant ceramic bezels.

Our favorite among the men’s watches from this brand is the Alpina Seastrong Diver Heritage.

This sporty blue reinterpretation includes two operable elements in the rotating bezel and the right case flank. This Alpina watch retails at around $980 USD. 8. Junghans Max Bill Hand-Winding In 1961, Junghans collaborated with industrial designer Max Bill to create the iconic Junghans Max Bill mechanical watches collection. Bill’s work became a legendary prototype, not only for the brand, but for the watchmaking industry as a whole.  Today, the Max Bill watches remain true to their roots. They retain the original, minimalistic Bauhaus influences that made the collection so influential in the first place. In particular, we recommend the Max Bill Hand-Winding, which features a puristic dial and clean lines. It also has a layer of domed glass, which adds a very vintage charm to the watch. Powered by the hand-winding movement J805.1, which is based on the ETA 2801-2 caliber, you can get this watch for $800 USD.   9. Gucci Grip Gucci is more than just a storied fashion house. While some skeptics have doubted the quality of Gucci watches, the brand remains unbothered as they continue to put out some of the most stunning watches in the industry.

William Wood Valiant Collection There is a very inspirational story behind William Wood and its watches. This brand was founded by Jonny Garrett as a tribute to his firefighter grandfather. As a mark of that, every watch from this brand carries a part of a Twenties British brash firefighter’s helmet. With William Wood watches, patrons can have a piece of heroism in a timepiece.  The William Wood Valiant is one of the brand’s first watches, made possible by a Kickstarter that raised up to $25,000. Despite being new, it easily made its way to our list of the best men’s watches. There are six watches from this collection, all of which are equipped with automatic movements and function as dive watches. The straps of these watches also add a heroic spin, as they are made using rubber materials from the Angus Duraline British fire hoses. Finally, the rotating bezel of the watch also takes inspiration from firefighters and their oxygen tanks. You can get all this for just $952 USD.  11. Swatch BIOCERAMIC C-Black Swatch is known for its collaborations with popular artists, estates, and designers. There is no doubt that the company knows exactly how to appeal to the masses. However, there is more to Swatch than just collaborations. The company also comes up with inspiring green designs as a part of its sustainability promise. One of its efforts lies with the Swatch BIOCERAMIC line. What is BIOCERAMIC, you ask? It is a Swatch-made material that is one part bio-sourced plastic, and two parts ceramic. This gives the watch much more resistance to abrasions and scratches, while still boasting a silky and smooth exterior. Our choice from this collection has to be the BIOCERAMIC C-BLACK. It is black all over with a quartz movement ticking inside. To make sure that the watch remains as eco-friendly as possible, the buckle of its bio-sourced black strap is also made from aluminum, which is infinitely recyclable. For only $125 USD, this Swatch watch can be yours. 12. Chopard Alpine Eagle In 1980, Chopard released the St Mortiz, which is notable for being the first sports watch from the brand. What made it even more impressive was that, despite its classification as a sports watch, it boasted a sleek exterior that made it a fine piece of jewelry as well.  22 years later, Chopard re-released the St Mortiz as the Alpine Eagle.

In this process, an artisan uses an incredibly thin metal disc and applies multiple layers of enamel powder over it, fired at 800 degrees Celsius or higher.

Accessories complement your outfit and can give it a whole new look instantly. People who love dressing up actually take out time to choose the best accessories that go with their clothing. However, it is better to select your accessories sensibly. Some men may not be as comfortable with putting on accessories or jewelry. If you are one of those who want to try the top accessories for men but are not sure whether it will suit you, here is a list to help you. The following list comprises all the top accessories for men to use in present times. The details also include tips, dos, and don’ts of bringing about a change. Experiments are good, and everyone should try something different once in a while! Accessories for Men 1: Watches One of the top accessories for men includes watches. Wristwatches are always in style. Watches define a person’s personality and lifestyle. There are two different kinds of people owning wristwatches; those who keep one good quality watch, and others who keep various watches so that they can alter their choice daily. There are many kinds of watches for men. The most common watches are those that are simple and plain in design. They are neutral in color and very subtle. The simplicity of these watches for men makes them look great with both casual and formal outfits. Another common type of watch these days is detailed skeleton watches. They look luxurious and bring about a great look to your attire. People usually pay attention to watches. It is recommended that you keep two watches at a minimum; one that goes with your casual dressing and the other that can be worn on more formal or festive occasions. These watches look stylish on every hand. 2: Bracelets Bracelets are a lot common these days. Bracelets have been one of the top accessories for men this year. The choice of bracelets also depends on your personality. There are bracelets that fit perfectly for you with any outfit you wear. Bracelets should be such that they give a minimalist look to your outfit and do not take over it totally. It should remain a distinctive part of your appearance. A metallic bracelet, such as a beaded one or one like a silver chain best goes with a tie and suit that is worn on a regular basis. On the other hand, a leather anchor bracelet or a macramé bracelet should go well with casual clothing. Always find affordable bracelets for your daily wear. One tip for wearing bracelets is that you can wear more than one so that it maximizes the look. Buy thin cord and beaded bracelets and stack them together on one wrist. Never wear more than one big bracelet in one hand. Moreover, bracelets are only worn on the one hand, and the other is always empty. 3: Rings Another top accessory for men is rings. However, many men are hesitant to wear them. A lot of men think that they should wear only their wedding ring. But in today’s modern era, trends have changed, and rings have become a new fashion. When in trend, people get more courage to follow. Men can express their grace by wearing different masculine rings. Rings, whether massive or subtle, are a great choice that goes along all your outfits. Also, wearing a bracelet that matches the ring best complements your attire. Fashion experts suggest that the lesser the rings, the better the look. 4: Sunglasses Sunglasses are timeless and practical! They were invented to protect the eyes from the sun. In today’s world, they are also used to show style. This is one of those top accessories for men that almost everyone owns. Some have many pairs so that they can easily match their regular getup. Others only buy two or three luxury ones that they can wear on festive occasions in the day time. When it comes to accessories for men, sunglasses are an accessory that every man should invest it. This sometimes gets forgotten as accessories for men, likely because it’s so common. It gives you a classy and elegant look. Invest some money, not a lot, in buying a nice pair of sunglasses but ensure that you make the right choice. Take out time for yourself in finding the best pair that looks good on you and most important of all, suits your face shape. Also, try getting a pair that goes well with most of your outfits. Sunglasses are an essential part of dressing up, and everyone should own at least a pair which can be worn on every occasion, be it a party, a funeral, or any other casual day. Once you are comfortable with wearing that pair, you can go on trying other colors and textures. A pro tip for buying sunglasses is to get clear, non-prescription glasses. They should suit your face shape and give you a cool look whenever you wear them. Accessories for Men One of the most important points that you should not miss is that always maintain your accessories and keep them in good condition. After a while, check all of the accessories and see if they need to be replaced. Closely look at everything that you use on a regular basis and replace it if it is worn out or broken.

Small watch companies are increasingly popular and the unique microbrand watches they produce are creating some real competition for more established brands. So, before you go out and pick up that well-known Rolex, Omega, or TAG Heuer, it might be worth your while to check out some watchmakers you’ve probably never even heard of. Let’s take a closer look at what microbrands watches are, and the best watches they are offering. What Are Microbrand Watches? The somewhat nebulous term “microbrand” can be loosely used to apply to a lot of goods and services (such as microbrewery for example). But in general, it means a company that only produces a small amount of inventory, usually in the range of 300 to 2,000 pieces a year. These items are most often sold directly to the consumer through the websites of the companies, causing a flurry of serious competition for massive platforms like Amazon. You can also sometimes find microbrands in select retail spaces. In general, microbrand products are more affordable than offerings from luxury brands. This is especially true with microbrand watches. Also, when it comes to watches, the microbrands will many times only do a portion of the work in-house, such as cases, dials, and straps, and outsource the movements to big brands like Citizen, Swatch, or Seiko. Why Would You Want Microbrand Watches? Exclusivity is one of the main driving factors in the purchase of a microbrand watch. If you’re looking for an instantly recognizable status piece, you’re probably going to want to get a brand that people know and hold in high regard. You drop a Rolex Datejust on your wrist and folks tend to notice quite quickly. They also have a pretty good idea of the amount of cash you plunked down for that fancy status symbol. But chances are, very few people will recognize the name of microbrand watches. This sets you apart from the pack and garners admiration for originality, especially if it’s an eye-catching watch that exudes the same aesthetics as established brands. Another reason is quality. Microbrands often have the same Swiss movements, sapphire crystals, and high-quality stainless steel cases found with well-known watches. What Are the Best Microbrand Watches? Whew, that’s a big question. With so many new watch companies out there (and more popping up each day!), it’s hard to proclaim which is the best. But we can look to microbrands that are popular and have earned serious praise from true watch aficionados. Below are our top 5 picks. 1: Halios  With a debut in 2009, Halios was at the forefront of the microbrand watch surge of late. Over the past decade, they have garnered respect for producing high-quality timepieces at affordable prices. They’re best known for their dive watches that draw inspiration from the timepieces of the 1960s, specifically their Seaforth model. Halios is a small operation, helmed in Vancouver by Jason Lim, who keeps the prices of his creations under $1,000; no small feat considering they use high-quality movements sourced from Japan or Switzerland. 2: Farer  This is another of the more established microbrands on the scene. Under the banner “British Design x Swiss Made,” vintage-inspired watches are manufactured in London with Roventa-Henex Swiss movements. Featuring sapphire crystals, high-grade metals, and luxurious leather straps, GMTs, chronographs, and minimalist three-hand models are sold in the $500 to $2,000 price range. One of Farer’s most popular watches, the Farer Barnato II is a real retro and back-to-basics timepiece that’s also one of their lowest-priced wares. 3: Christopher Ward  Another microbrand from England, Christopher Ward launched in 2004 in Maidenhead, England with three watch-loving friends who started assembling Swiss movements with locally sourced components. And they started selling their wares at a fraction of the price of established brands. Christopher Ward has since moved on to do most of their own manufacturing. That includes an in-house Calibre SH21 but still keeps their prices comparatively low. Their best-seller is the Grand Malvern Power Reserve dress watch. It’s an upscale and elegant timepiece by any measure and comes in at a cost of under $2,000. 4) Raven   Moving across the Atlantic, we get to some serious watchmakers out of Kansas. Raven has been producing high-quality dive watches on the outskirts of Kansas City since 2008. While there has been some criticism that their watches too closely resemble Submariners (notably their Vintage 42), that’s also one of their strengths. It’s hard to beat a good-looking dive watch with ETA 2824 or Miyota 9015 movement. Not to mention sapphire crystals, and high-grade stainless steel for under $1,000. 5: Oak & Oscar  A relative newcomer, Oak & Oscar made its debut in 2015. The Chicago-based watchmakers specialize in casual-leaning timepieces that embody the classic style of the American Midwest. Their first offering, the Burnham Date, takes its name and design inspiration from Daniel Burnham. Daniel was an architect behind many of Chicago’s beloved structures including the Flat Iron Building. The Jackson is one of their most popular watches. It’s a flyback chronograph with a 60-hour power reserve. The color is gorgeous with a grey-and-white dial with hints of orange. Microband Watches Conclusion So, nobody is suggesting you stop your search for that perfect Omega Seamaster Diver. Established models like the Rolex GMT-Master II and IWC Pilot will never be truly replaced by upstarts. And who wants to live in a world without an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore? But beyond the big names, it’s good to be aware that a lot of new microbrands are out there. And know that they’re making some really fine watches that are worthy of consideration too.

Over the years, the vast majority of the horology community has had a greater appreciation for and focus on traditional analog watches. Indeed, analog watches are the bread-and-butter of the watchmaking industry. That being said, there is a small but thriving fanbase for the digital watch, and these digital watches certainly should not be overlooked either. With digital watches, wearers get a whole lot more than what they initially bargained for. These timepieces showcase a slew of innovative technological features that tell time and also offer some other added conveniences. Before 2017, there were always several factors that pulled digital watches down from their rightful place on the pedestal. More often than not, enthusiasts would dismiss having a digital timepiece for having a not-so fashionable design and the stigma of a less powerful quartz movement. Its affordability also gave the false impression that digital watches were cheap and of poor quality. However, with the industry rapidly introducing brand-new technological inventions and ideas, digital watches have become the best that they have ever been, and the digital watch industry’s innovative momentum only continues. Whether it is something as vintage as the Hamilton Pulsar P1 or as modern as the latest Tissot T-Touch, there will always be someone on the lookout for excellent digital watches. In this case, that someone could be you.

History of Movado Founded in 1881, Movado is one of the oldest Swiss watch brands today. The Swiss watchmaker began its colorful journey when a 19-year old Achille Ditesheim opened a pocket watch workshop located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. 16 years later, Ditesheim became an owner of one of the largest watch shops in the area, with a recorded number of 80 employees. When Diteshim first established the business with the assistance of his brothers, it was known by the name L.A.I Ditesheim & Frère. Eventually, this was changed to “Movado.” The name “Movado” was taken from the most famous international auxiliary language, Esperanto, and translates to “always in motion” in English. Some of the modern Movado watches produced today still have the word Esperanto engraved on their bodies. The company decided to come up with new creative styles and designs in 1905, in line with Movado’s ultimate goal, “to meet the needs and expectations of its patrons”. The brand’s efforts eventually led to the launch of the popular 8 Ligne collection. In addition, Movado had also produced the iconic “Polyplan watch” back in 1912. Overcoming Crisis During the quartz crisis in the 1970s and early 1980s, the entire mechanical watch industry was severely affected, including Movado. The company’s officials were left with no choice but to sell the brand’s rights to Gedalio Grinberg in 1983. Grinberg was the person behind the existence of the well-known North American Watch Company. In 1996, he decided to change the name of the company to Movado Group, Inc. Present Day Today, the Movado Group continues to innovate, producing fresh designs and advanced technologies to keep up with the times. For instance, they offer numerous versions of the classic Movado Museum watches, designed with new and different materials. Some variants even have elegant diamond markers. The 28mm men and women Museum Classic models are some of its best offerings, with both timepieces having 11 luxe diamond markers on their dials. The brand also offers the Movado Connect, which showcases Movado’s skill in watchmaking and innovation. Known as one of the most sought-after smartwatches available today, it comes in two different designs: one with a contemporary style, and the other with a more traditional watch face. That said, both variants offer similar high-tech features and functionalities such as the Google’s Wear OS feature, and have a standard 46.5 mm size. Furthermore, the Movado Connect is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and can respond to messages and receive notifications. It can also function smoothly on all iOS and Android smartphones.  Final Thoughts On the whole, Movado watches are simply head-turners.

Notwithstanding helping wearers adhere to their calendars, wristwatches make it simpler to show their feeling of style. They reflect traces of threat, experience, and sports relying upon the make of the watch. With a relatively interminable assortment of approaches to pull off a work of art or present-day watch, it tends to be difficult to realize where to begin. Regardless of whether you’re going for a staple calfskin tie plan or a perfect metal one, there are diverse ways you can feature men’s watches. Men’s Watches: Find the Right Size  Try not to wear a watch that has a face that’s too huge, even for men’s watches. Watch faces are estimated in millimeters. Men’s watches are normally between 34mm-50mm, but they can be bigger too. Men’s Watches, Which Hand to Wear It on The customary hand to wear a watch on is the left. The reason they’re worn on the left is in all likelihood down to the way that the lion’s share of individuals are right handed. This implies individuals move their left hand less and aren’t as liable to harm the delicate inward activities of the watch. You can get left given watches; however, it’s best to stay away from those odd contraptions. Where to Wear It Wear your watch alongside your wrist bone. Make sure that the face sits ideal by the bone outwardly of the wrist. When standing, pretty much nothing or none of your watch ought to be noticeable underneath your sleeve. When wearing a sleeved shirt, your watch should just be completely noticeable when your arm is bowed. Never wear your watch over your shirt sleeve. The Perfect Band Wear a band that fits appropriately. A watch ought to seem agreeable, normal, and unquestionably not messy. It might be important to alter it as required, to suit characteristic changes in wrist measure. A few watches like dress watches and sports watches, have a prong and score framework that enables you to effortlessly move the prong up or down an indent to fix or extricate. Easygoing or formal watches can have a progressively convoluted attaching framework that expects you to alter the size by including or expelling joins. Counsel the guidance manual, or approach your gem specialist for help or exhortation on modifying the length of your watch. A man should never wear his wristwatch free around the wrist. It should move an inch around your wrist as you move. The essence of the watch should not slip to the side of your wrist. There must be enough space to fit a finger between your wrist and the band. A wristwatch must not be worn too firmly. On the off chance that the watch leaves an engraving on the wrist, it’s too tight and should be released. Meanwhile, ladies’ watches can be worn cozily, or free around the wrist like arm jewelry. The Game Watch Wear a game watch. You can either wear it as an ordinary watch or as a useful apparatus for running or working out. Sports watches can be made with elastic, plastic, or even texture groups that are intended to be strong, sweat-proof, and regularly water-proof. Give careful consideration to the guidelines that accompany the watch—they will disclose how far your watch can be submerged. Wear your games watch when you should keep time, measure profundity or speed, counsel a compass, or when you will utilize other extraordinary highlights included. Apart from athletic undertakings, you can wear your game watch with a long-sleeved shirt or even to easygoing occasions. Might be best to not wear a game watch with a suit—this is what might be compared to wearing shoes with a tuxedo! It is viewed as in poor taste. Pay Attention to Your Shoes Match your watch with your footwear. When in doubt, you are wearing dress shoes, a dress watch would be fitting. In case, you are wearing shoes; a game watch would be fitting. If you often wear boots, deck shoes, or flip-flounders, an ordinary easygoing watch is the most solid option. Men’s Watches, Match It With the Event Pick a go-to, ordinary watch that can be worn with easygoing attire. Your ordinary watch ought to be impartial and tough, as it’s intended to be worn all through your everyday exercises. Such as easygoing social capacities, and errands. Hardened steel is a famous decision as this makes for both impartial and tough watches. Wear a formal watch on occasions that require formal wear like weddings, christenings, formal suppers, musical drama and theater exhibitions, and similar formal occasions. People lean toward a formal watch that is made of indistinguishable metal tone from whatever remains of their adornments or embellishments. For instance, a lady who’s wearing platinum jewelry may like to wear silver, platinum, or a white gold watch. While a man who’s wearing gold sleeve fasteners will ordinarily like to wear a gold watch. Purchase different groups for your watch, so you can without much of a stretch and cheaply make your watch coordinate your shoes and belt. Or then again, search for a band that is a blend of dark colored and dark.
