The Fashion Watch Overview

Nobody to date has found a single definition for fashion watches. There are a number of titles out there namely fashion watch, dress watch or formal watch. However, after all is said and done, many agree on one thing – the main emphasis of a fashion watch is in the design and its appearance.

The focus is placed solely on the brand name and very little attention is given to the intricate workings of the watches movements. Therefore, many fashion watches are supplied with a cheaper quartz movement.

Fashion watches are usually manufactured by companies that supply clothing and all types of accessories. This means that the company doesn’t use the sale of watches as their main source of income. Fashion watches are made to fit in with the latest styles of clothing and jewellery. When purchasing a fashion watch, a buyer is solely interested in the way it looks rather than in its function.

This appears to be the only logical reason why anyone would pay such a lot of money for a basic watch.

Why would somebody want to buy a fashion watch? You may have received an invitation to a formal lunch or a business event and you need to buy a new outfit for the occasion. Yet, you feel there is something missing. A beautiful fashion watch is just the thing you need to complete your look. Rest assured, there is a fashion watch out there for you, one that fits any fashion style.

What if you have to attend multiple social functions during the year, does this mean you have to have a new watch each time? No, it’s certainly not necessary, as you can use the same fashion watch for a number of different occasions.

All you need to do is have a couple of different watch straps available. Simply change the strap you have, and you instantly create a completely new look, one that suits your fashion style for a specific event.

Your style is reflected in your clothing and in the accessories you wear. So, choosing a stylish watch is important in creating the look you want. Today, you are sure to find a watch that will suit every occasion, from formal business events to casual outings.

Men and women select watches that will match their outfit but will also for how it looks on their wrist, and how it makes them feel.

Most important of all, the right watch and outfit make a statement, it reveals your style and defines who you are. You will soon realise when you have to choose the right watch for a special occasion, that the combinations available appear to be endless. You will have to choose between different colours, styles and materials.

Choosing the perfect fashion watch

The question is how do you choose the correct watch for your special event? Here are some guidelines to help you make the right choice.Below are some characteristics of Fashion Watches, which is designed to suit most styles:

• Choose a slimmer profile in order to be able to fit more comfortably under your shirt cuff.
• A watch case usually not larger than 40mm or a maximum of 46 mm.
• Most fashion watches have leather straps, but there is nothing wrong with a stainless steel strap.
• Your metal type, it can be made from yellow, white or rose gold, stainless steel or even platinum.
• Try to choose a watch that matches your selected outfit and make sure it doesn’t draw too much attention.
• The face or dial of a fashion watch is usually very simple, with an analogue display having an hour, minute and second hand. However, there are also many great fashion watches that have a digital display, which would look great with your outfit.

Apart from these guidelines above for fashion watches, a Fine Watch or Chronograph Watch can also be an acceptable choice to wear to a formal event.

What to wear

Let us now consider what type of watch you would choose for formal business or corporate functions. These types of events require style and a professional look. You may want to consider a watch that has the following characteristics:

• It needs to have a gold or stainless-steel metal case with a leather or stainless-steel strap.
• A black or brown watch dial with simple markers or roman numerals would be perfect. As it is a fashion watch, the movement can be either mechanical or quartz

The CAT AG brand watch is ideal for all types of events, and it comes at a very affordable price. This particular watch has hour, minute and second hands. The watch comes with simple markers that are gold coloured for the 15, 30, 45- and 60-minute divisions, and silver coloured for the remaining major minute indicators. Provision has also been made on the watch face for a small aperture that shows the date in digital format. The watch also has a black/camel, or silver coloured stainless-steel case, which is 46 mm in diameter. The face or dial has the same colour feature.

The display of this fashion watch is analogue, which is what is required for a formal event. As these types of watches are about style and appearance, this watch is equipped with a quartz movement. The watch is supplied with dark brown smooth leather or stainless-steel straps, in order to better compliment the style of your outfit.

Another feature of this watch, which is often overlooked or not even considered, is that it is waterproof to a depth of 100m. When buying a fashion watch, this type of feature is very seldom considered, as no one is going to go deep-sea diving with their Fashion Watch strapped to their wrist. However, there is a strong possibility that while out at your formal function, you may be caught in a sudden downpour. This waterproof feature will give you peace of mind in this situation, ensuring that your watch will in no way be damaged.

What type of watch would you look for if you had a casual weekend function to attend? In this situation, it is not necessary for you to make a boldfaced statement. You need a softer approach.

Maybe over the weekend, you have an invitation to enjoy a night out with your friends. What watch would be suitable for this occasion? A night out to enjoy with lots of fun and laughter, so the watch you choose must be able to suit the occasion, making you feel free and happy.

All watches you purchase are able to tell the time, but a fine watch has much more to offer. This type of watch adds luxury and quality to the mix. It is the kind of timepiece you are able to hand down as an heirloom from generation to generation. The focus on a fine watch is solely on the mechanism and quality. Manufacturers produce a watch that must be accurate at all times and under all conditions. During the manufacturing process, a great deal of time and effort is put into producing a timepiece that is exceptional on the outside as well as on the inside. For this reason, many of our fine watches are handcrafted to perfection and this is what makes a luxury timepiece.

What are some of the characteristics that make a fine or luxury watch? You will find that dedication to craft and quality are of utmost importance and this is what forms the essence of luxury. It’s what turns a regular watch into an exquisite item. Only the best mechanisms and parts are used in the manufacturing process. Many of the watches are handmade, so the concept of a luxury watch is definitely based on quality and not price. The Foundation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) in their report, The White Paper on Fine Watchmaking, classifies fine watchmaking. They focus on several areas and criteria required to measure up as a fine watch. They take into consideration such things as the production process, style, design, and after-sales services amongst other things.

Something else that defines a fine/luxury watch, is that of a status symbol. Fine watches are worn by those with high social standings in society. This has been the case ever since the watch was invented. Back in the day, it cost a fortune to even be in possession of a timepiece. I’m sure many would recognize the old pocket watch. If you had one back in the 1800s, you were definitely well-off. Today, you have more affordable mass-produced watches to choose from, but a fine watch still stands out with its unique designs and quality. Watches offered by Watch World are far more than this, as our watches do not only acknowledge the genuine quality of the workmanship but also give the wearer a good feeling about themselves.

Various Brands and Fine Luxury Watches

As discussed above, there are a number of things that define a fine or luxury watch. Some may obtain and see their timepiece as something to pass on to their children, or it may simply be a sign of success. There may be a few differences in why, but everyone is on the same page when it comes to making a choice. A fine watch offers luxury through quality and excellence, unique design, and superb performance, with no regard to the costs involved.

An affordable modern timepiece for the modern man or woman.

Myths regarding Fine Watches

When considering purchasing a watch, most of us will simply go to the shop and buy what is readily available, most probably a battery-powered quartz watch. We wouldn’t even consider a luxury or fine watch. Many would think, is it worth it to buy a fine watch when other types of watches are readily available? This ultimately affected business for those who were selling precision luxury watches. How did they overcome this? Rebranding. The fine watches became luxury items that were handmade to perfection, and something people would desire or aspire to own. Even so, over the years there have been a few misunderstandings or myths that came about regarding fine watches.

Here are a few of them:

• Many say it is a waste of money to spend so much on a watch if all it does is tell the time. This is not the case, as these watches are investments and can become heirlooms passed on from generation to generation.
• They don’t keep time accurately. This is true if compared to a quartz watch, but even then, the battery can fail. Both types of watches can be very accurate if properly handled.
• Some say the more jewels the watch has inside the better it is. It is true that a fine watch works with jewels like rubies, but in this day and age, the mechanics of the watch is what’s more important.
• If your watch says ‘Swiss Made’ then it is regarded as being 100% Swiss. This is not the case as a watch that says ‘Swiss Made’ only has around 60% Swiss parts.
• Is the Smart Watch taking over and is the fine or luxury watch on its way out? The truth is that the Smart Watch is gaining ground, but the Swiss are also advancing in this direction as well.
• Is it true that a quartz watch is not as stylish as a mechanical/fine watch? No, the quartz watches have taken over the market these days and can easily compete with the mechanical watches.

Today, it does seem like the Smart Watch is taking the world by storm. On the other hand, if you are looking for a brand-new watch, then nothing can beat an exquisitely made luxury watch. You will be gaining a quality piece of art that will last a lifetime and even longer. The craftsmanship that goes into the manufacture of a fine watch is unique and cannot be compared to anything else on the market. You will be buying into a rich history, a watch with unsurpassed quality and craftsmanship, something that increases in value over time, and a watch that is reliable and dependable for many years. A luxury or fine watch can be worn with pride.

What constitutes luxury? Why do you pay so much for it? At the end of the day, all watches keep track of time the same way. Some might say luxury is a matter of perception. Some might say it’s about the attention to detail or the craftsmanship.

Whether “luxury” is considered a specific style or if the brand’s reputation defines it as “luxury” We believe that every watch tells a story. The story of the creator, the process and the story of the person who wears it.
