The Swiss luxury watch and clock industry dates back to Geneva as far as the middle of the 16th century. By the end of the 16th century, Swiss luxury watches were already reputed for their high quality and unique design. Another century went by, and with the inventions of the 1770’s, the luxury watch industry also went through some major changes an developments. In 1842, Antoni Patek established world famous Patek Philippe – though at that time the factory’s name was different, since it wasn’t until 1845 when Antoni Patek met French watchmaker, Adrien Philippe who also joined the luxury watch-maker family. Another famous watchmaker, Leon Breitling started his luxury watch business back in 1884, by inventing very complicated and professional watches first made only for aviators. Today Breitling is still the well-known luxury aviator watch, first choice of many pilots and divers. It is not unusual that an average buyer can not afford buying a brand new luxury watch. If this is the case, don’t worry, you can still own a nice, brand name timepiece and you won’t have to pay a fortune for it. You can still have the option of buying your favourite watch brand used. Buying a pre-owned luxury watch requires research, so we suggest browsing around before making the final decision. Brand name is also an important factor to weigh: take a good look at different names like Patek Phillippe watches, Cartier watches, Breitling watches, Omega watches, and based on you style and preference bring yourself to the final decision. Making a wise choice guarantees that your longed-for luxury watch will bring you joy and wearing it every day will add to your personal charisma and charme.
