Omega Watch
The promising 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen at Switzerland in 1848. This made the origin of the Brand watch Omega. After terminated from that company, he traveled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market place Bennie. His two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar controlled over assembly workshop system in favor of in-house manufacturing and total production control after the death of their father. Aftermath Bennie become the headquarter of Omega and still is there. Their first series-produced calibers, Labrador and Guzzle, as well as, the famous Omega caliber of 1894, would ensure the brand marketing success.
It makes new history in 1903. The Omega Company was able to produce 240,000 watches annually and employing over 800 people. This ensued was truly incredible. Paul-Emile, also known as the great architect and builder of Omega, established the company as a world leader by initiating the merger between Omega and Toast within the group SSH, Geneva, shortly after the First World War.
By the seventies, SSH had become Switzerland number one producer of finished watches and number three in the world. Coming out triumphant from the 1975 recession, the two Swiss giants SSIH and ASUAG (House of brands such as Longines, Rado and Swatch) merged to form the Holding ASUAG-SSIH in 1983. Barely two years later, was the holding company taken over by Nicolas Hayek, who renamed it as SMH. In 1998, the company was christened once again as The Swatch Group.
In addition there are several features that help make a watch water-resistant. The most important is the gaskets, or 0 rings-made of rubber, nylon or Teflon which form watertight seals at the joints where the crystal, case back and crown meet the watch case. if the watch is a chronograph, the chronograph pushers will also have gaskets.
The thickness and material of the case is also a big factor in determining whether a watch can safely be worn underwater. The case must be sturdy enough to withstand pressure without caving in. In general, this means steel or titanium case or a steel case plated with gold, manufacturers say. Solid gold cases can be water resistant provided they are sufficiently thick.
NASA supplied each of the Apollo astronauts with a standard issue Omega Speed master Professional manual-wind wristwatch together with Velcro strap. The Omega Speed master Professional Chronograph was the first watch to be worn on the Moon, and is a NASA favorite. So also the glamour industry too eying Omega watches in high esteem.
In addition, Omega has often been one of the best Official timekeepers for the Olympics since the 1932 Summer Olympiad. The same tradition follows for both the 2006 Winter Olympics and 2008 Summer Olympics in Germany.

Expensive Watchs of The World
Yes, you read that right: twenty-five million dollars. This gaudy timepiece by Chopard is adorned with three heart-shaped diamonds—a 15-carat pink diamond, a 12-carat blue diamond and an 11-carat white diamond. For good measure, they threw in 163 carats of white and yellow diamonds to bring the total to 201 carats of diamonds. The result is something that looks rather like a geode that’s been turned inside out and dipped in lemon Kool-Aid. Add to that the fact that the size of the watch’s face must make telling time into a fun game of Where’s Waldo and you’ll see that Chopard has truly created a recipe for success.
Of course, its $25 million price tag guarantees its place as the world’s most expensive watch for years to come.

Dive watches created by Citizen are less popular than those from Seiko, but they still do offer quite a number of unique watches, for example the Autozilla, Eco-zilla and the Orca.

Leading the rest of Citizen's creations is the BL5315-50E.

It is also water resistant for up to a depth of 200 metres and the watch face made of mineral crystal. The mechanism also encompasses a unidirectional ion-plated ratcheting bezel.

Luxury Fashion Watch Style
The very first question that I asked myself looking at creations of Parisian House masters: how did they make it? That's the way to convey my sincere admiration for these sparkling miracles. credit:watch-fashion
Invicta's Skeleton Prowler - Stylish Boldness and Technical Challenge
Those who adore eye-catching, unconventionally designed timepieces have long discovered Invicta. The brand's watches are distinguished due to a bold and colorful design. Invicta's fans rival for owning its limited edition and technically advanced timepieces. These are available through on-line auctions and on Shop NBC, one of Invicta's important sales channels. Prices for the majority of watches produced by the brand range below $ 2,000 mark.
Invicta has recently introduced a new timepiece, the Skeleton Prowler, that has become highly demanded among watch collectors who appreciated its bright colors and innovative, rotating-dial hour hand. The dial of the timepiece features a special cutaway demonstrating the watch's mechanical movement while it is turning clockwise indicating the hours. Conventional hands traversing the moving dial indicate minutes and seconds.
The Skeleton Prowler became a fresh interpretation of a skeleton watch. The brand's watchmakers designed the timepiece with rotating dial that allowed displaying a new part of the movement every hour. However, the date window represented a real technical challenge. The date ring is placed under the bezel and the date window is found at 6 o'clock.
The Skeleton Prowler's unusual design paralyzes the glance. It is a rather big-sized timepiece with a case measuring 44 mm in diameter. The metallic blue case features plain stainless steel lugs. The watch has been created in a variety of color variations - black and gold tone, blue and gold, and black and silver. Almost every detail of the Prowler's case has an unusual grid-like texture, including the rotating dial and bezel. The same theme is revealed through vertical lines seen on the sides of the case, reminding a kind of an architectural column. The Prowler's bracelet comprises textured inner links that add more sportiness to the overall watch's look.
The watch's screw-down case-back is one more proof of its top manufacturing quality. A Swiss Sellita automatic movement powers the Skeleton Prowler.
Invicta has also developed a more affordably priced quartz model - the Chronograph Prowler available just for $ 895 (compare it to $ 1, 895 for the Skeleton Prowler). The case of the watch is also 44 mm in diameter. It demonstrates a sporty two-color design. The timepiece will surely attract attention to the wrist of its owner due to successful combination of ionic black PVD and golden steel. Inside the case there operates the Swiss Ronda 5040D quartz chronograph movement.
Both the Skeleton Prowler and the Chronograph Prowler are 100-meters water-resistant. They are protected by mineral crystal glass. Invicta provides the models with one-year limited warranty. credit:watch-fashion
Ebel Brasilia Lady Red Dial - Time for Love
To keep fine moments of Love celebration and make them last much longer, Ebel has created the timepiece for those in love to demonstrate and feel this all-mighty life force not only on February 14 but year-round.
The Ebel Brasilia Lady Red Dial has joined the Brasilia Lady collection of watches highly appreciated for their supreme elegance and sensuality of soft lines. The new ladies' watch pays tribute to all lovers, shining in an intense yet delicate shade of red that immediately catches the gaze.
The polished stainless steel case is coupled with a smoothly integrated bracelet. The flaming dial of the ladies' watch radiates with 10 diamond hour-markers. It reveals hand-applied Roman numerals and a sophisticated pattern in the center, framed on either side by a row of the sparkling gems.
The timepiece is powered by a Swiss quartz movement. It offers perfect readability due to sapphire anti-reflective treatment on both sides of the crystal. The case back of the watch features dedicated Brasilia engraving.
The Brasilia Lady Red Dial delicately embraces the wrist with a polished stainless steel bracelet equipped with the brand's signature butterfly buckle. The timepiece seems to be beating in tune with its wearer's pulse. The Ebel creation will surely bring a blush to the cheek of any lady. The watch symbolizes a deep commitment for the lovers to prolong the Valentine's Day celebration all the year long. credit:watch-fashion
New Raymond Weil Chocolate Timekeeping Creation
Raymond Weil has introduced a new dazzling timepiece to join its Shine collection, a vivid demonstration of the outstanding aesthetic creativity of the independent Swiss family watchmaker.
The new Raymond Weil watch is embellished with full-cut white diamonds selected for their supreme clarity. The timepiece demonstrates a nice play on the nuances of light and matter.
The appeal of the watch is further enhanced by a contrast between powerful steel, clearest diamonds and deep chocolate tone. The elegance and distinctive features of the new timepiece fully reflect the spirit of the Shine collection.
The nicely proportioned chocolate-brown dial reveals four steel and diamond Arabic numerals in relief, set with 43 8/8-cut diamonds. The color of the dial adds an extra touch of irresistible softness and sensuality to jeweled watch. The time is shown with a gleaming caress by the dauphine polished steel hands with truncated ends.
The slightly curved polished steel rectangular case, with the curved links is a distinctive feature of the Raymond Weil Shine collection. It is set with 38 full-cut or diamonds. The case is constructed to fit snugly to the wearer's wrist, offering supreme comfort and ergonomics. The sapphire crystal of the watch is provided with double-sided anti-glare treatment.
The timepiece goes on a polished steel bracelet provided with the brand's signature folding clasp and double push-piece security. It is also available on a shantung satin bracelet in copper-brown and equipped with Ardillon clasp.
Due to the quick-and-easy interchangeable bracelet system patented by Raymond Weil, Shine watches will in no time change slick, city steeliness for shantung, satin soiree sophistication.
The new jewel of the Raymond Weil Shine collection perfectly reflects the desires of modern ladies. It makes one feel the sensuality, glamour, power and boldness characteristic of the famous Shine collection created by the Geneva watchmaker. credit:watch-fashion
Titoni Airliner – For Air Adventurers
The new Airliner watches feature sturdy construction powered by mechanical movements. The timepieces reveal lacquered dials. The Airliners have maintained the reliability of Swiss-made mechanisms developed by Titoni for almost a century of its watchmaking history(since 1919).
The Titoni Airliner models have three hands conventionally placed in the center of the dial. The peculiarity of the timepieces lies in the day of the week and the date display. The day of the month is featured at 12 o'clock, while the days of the week display is placed at 6 o'clock. Corresponding to the Asian tendency to express the day of the week in numbers, the Titoni designers have added them above the days of the week names. However, Sunday makes the exception: the number '7' is replaced by the Titoni emblematic stylized flower with five petals.
The Airliner watches feature no extra details providing clearness of design and supreme readability. These are robust, rugged timepieces with the distinctive screws on the bezel. The front and back parts of the models are covered by sapphire crystal. Through the transparent case back one may admire the perfectly finished automatic movement. The mechanism comprises the oscillating weight featuring the 'Titoni of Switzerland' inscription.
All the Airliner collection models offer 50-meters water-resistance. The timepieces provide the choice between a black rubber strap or solid steel bracelet with a folding clasp. credit:watch-fashion
Bedat Shares - Secrets for Watch Lovers
Everyone enjoys being trusted with a secret. The idea of the Bedat new advertising campaign has been suggested by Pascal and Thierry advertising company with headquarters in Paris. The campaign focuses attention upon Bedat communication strategy turning it into a fully-fledged brand. Peter Lindbergh has been entrusted by photographing the models, while Nick Welsh has taken photos of the Bedat timepieces.
Yet, Bedat real secret is revealed through the timepieces recently developed by the brand. While creating the watches, the Bedat watchmakers have maintained the tradition of uniting classic style with modern shapes and curves.
The No. 8 collection has comprised new watch models characterized by 'round inside a cushion shape'. The watches also display such distinctive feature as the big date indication found at 3 o'clock. The platted alligator strap finely matches the overall design of the timepieces.
The brand has developed a new original version of the No. 3 watch. The timepiece has been crafted in yellow gold. It sparkles with 125 natural brown diamonds. The sunburst chocolate-brown dial with satin finishing immediately arrests attention.
The No. 1, the single square-shaped timepiece in the Bedat line, is curved inward at 3 and 6 o'clock. It is available in a variety of models.
The specialty of the Bedat collections is that every collection is named after a certain number - Nos. 1, 3, 7 and 8. Each number reflects its own philosophy:
- No. 1 implies the beginning
- No. 3 stands for perfection
- No. 7 denotes eternal life
- No. 8 is synonymous to infinity.
The concept of 'numbering' its timepieces reveals original Bedat approach towards watchmaking. It is both simple and effective – today you will come across watches with names ranging from grandiose to silly.
In 2007 Bedat is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The brand's creations will no longer stay secret as its original new advertising campaign and new finely designed timepieces are sure to win the hearts of numerous watch lovers. credit:watch-fashion
Jules Audemars Ladies' Tourbillon
The Jules Audemars Ladies' Tourbillon is crafted in white or pink gold. The dial of the timepiece in natural white mother-of-pearl is skillfully engraved with a 'spiral' flinque motif. You will notice a diamond on the top of each Roman numeral. This way the watch's creators ensured harmony between the dial and gem-paved bezel.
However, when you see the timepiece, your attention will surely be drawn to 6 o'clock and paralyzed by the magic whirl of the tourbillon regulator, a complicated device considerably improving the precision of timekeeping.
The escapement organs (these are a wheel, lever and balance) are not assembled in a fixed position. They are found within a mobile carriage rotating once a minute, thus compensating for the gravity effects, particularly when the timepiece is found in a vertical position. One more fascinating detail is that the bridges are embellished with extremely small 'dancing spiral' motifs reflecting the great care given to the movement decoration. credit:watch-fashion

Gucci Lover - Gold Gucci Watch Collection
If you’re looking for a gold Gucci watch, the selection is much smaller than stainless steel. As the craftsmanship continues to expand and become more creative and unique, it seems to be that there are less gold watches on the market. More watch companies are going to the stainless steel look to give it a gleaming look, and that is exactly what Gucci has done.
This is not to say that you can’t find any gold Gucci watches, but the ones that are on the market are pricey. For example, the gold Gucci 102G collection has a retail value of just under $4,800. There are great deals all over the internet that will allow you to pick it up for much cheaper, but it’s still going to cost you an arm and a leg since it is gold. At watchesonnet.com the gold Gucci 102G watch is selling for $3,395.95.
While it may seem like an awful lot to pay for jewelry, you have to be willing to pay a lot for authentic gold jewelry. The 102G watch’s 18k gold case and bracelet give it a glistening appeal that helps bring the attention to the signature Gucci G case. Its mother of pearl dial just sums up how smooth the quartz movement runs your time with this watch. If that weren’t enough, the scratch-resistant sapphire assures you that your expensive gold Gucci watch will maintain its class and style.
If you’re just not willing to blow that kind of money on a priceless piece of jewelry, there are cheaper gold Gucci watches to choose from as well. The gold Gucci 103 horsebit watch can be found from $600 to $800. While the case and bracelet are still 18k gold like the 102 G watch, the difference lies within the other features.
For instance, the crystal on the 102G is a scratch-resistant sapphire whereas on the 103 it is only mineral. Also, the case diameter is much thicker with the 102G. This is not to say that the gold Gucci 103 is a poor quality watch, it just doesn’t include some of the features that the 102G does. Therefore, the 103 is a great watch for anyone that is looking for a gold Gucci watch under $1,000.
Although the selection for stainless steel watches is much larger today than gold watches, there are still a number of classy and fine-looking gold Gucci watches to choose from. Just be prepared to spend a lot because gold jewelry tends to cost quite a bit. However, can you really put a price on a fine piece of jewelry like a gold Gucci watch? credit:watchesonnet

As for the dial on this women’s Raymond Weil collection, it is white with a mother of pearl finish. On the dial, there are four Arabic numerals that assist you in identifying the time, and each numeral is set with diamonds. There are two silver hands that are centered in the middle of the dial, just below the Raymond Weil title.
Just a few other features that are worth pointing out with this magnificent watch, it has a sapphire crystal and a secured folding clasp on the bracelet with a traditional buckle on the strap for convenience. And if for whatever reason you decide to take a dip in the pool with you diamond filled timepiece, it has a water resistance of 30 M.

Lastly, the dial adds the finishing touches to an already exquisite watch. You can choose from either a black, grey or silver border for the dial. The dial itself sparkles with satin-finished silver featuring a 60-second counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and a 30-minut counter at 9 o’clock. There is also a date window that rests at 12 o’clock.
The style and glamour of the new Raymond Weil 7250 Don Giovanni Cosi Grande will shine across the room, but the fashion is just the start. The performance precision to the watch is equally impressive. With a 42-hour power-reserve and 51 rubies on the movement, you can rest assured that the watch will run on optimal performance through the train and balance-wheel.
The first Don Giovanni Cosi Grande watch was impressive, but the RW 7250 provides men with a masculine and precise watch that is glamorous at the same time. The strap will provide you with a comfort like no other watch. The case has an immaculate rectangular steel dome case polished stainless steel. And the dial provides you with shiny satin-finished silver. Add on precision and reliability and you can almost say that Raymond Weil has created the perfect watch. credit:watchesonnet

Watchs Story
Watches are not only devices which show the time, but also watches are items of fashion. Such juwellery materials as diamonds, silver, gold and platinum are used by watch manufactures in order to make their watches attractive for buyers. The year 1524 is considered to be the beginning of watch manufacturing, which began in France. In 50 years French watchmaker Charles Cousin moved to Geneva, Switzerland. In 13 years he got Swiss citizenship. In that time watch manufacturing began to develop, watches were mostly considered as jewel and they were not available for general public. Charles Cousin organized guild of watchmakers in Geneva and it was the time when Swiss watches became popular. But it is normal that in those times watches didn’t have such attractive look as modern watches have. In the years 1600-1700 some technical changes happened in the sphere of watch-making. Although watches still were more like jewellery. The following watches became available – pendulum watches and pocket watches. Before pendulum watches were worn on the neck, but when English king Charles II introduced long waistcoats, it became popular to carry watches in pockets. In 1800-ies a lot of watch companies appeared and among them it is worth to mention Croton Watch Company. It was founded in 1878. It exists till nowadays and it is famous all over the world by its classic watches.
