Swiss watches are part of the image of a financially successful person, they allow you to demonstrate to others the height of status and the depth of taste of its owner or owner. They are a constant attribute of a modern business and self-confident ladies.

Such a device on a thin female handle is not just a reliable time recognition device, but an excellent accessory whose mission is to maintain a perfect style, which can also serve as an excellent gift.

A bit of history

An interesting fact is that not at all Switzerland and the Swiss are the pioneers of watchmaking. The history of the watch began with the fact that in the 16th century a kind of Protestant republic was formed in Geneva, and it was there that after the split of the official church - the so-called Reformation - the best watchmakers from different European countries found refuge, hiding from religious persecution.

Already at the beginning of the 17th century, the Geneva Watchmakers' Workshop was founded, which contained more than one hundred artisans. Since quite a lot of former jewelers turned into watchmakers, the watches produced became a real work of art. In the future, such a large number of skilled watchmakers became cramped in one town, and they gradually spread out throughout the country.

Consider the chronology of the most important events in the production of Swiss watches:

  • 1770 - the first chronometers with the function of a car factory were invented;
  • 1801 - a tourbillon appears - a device that compensates for the effect of gravity on the correctness of the clock;
  • 1804 - the first watch factory is built;
  • 1842 - a watch with a winding on the basis of a pendulum is invented;
  • the end of the XIX century - chronograph, calendar and other additional functions are built into watch devices;
  • the beginning of the 20th century - an automaton is created that independently cuts out hourly boards and gears;
  • 1967 - quartz watches appear, launched in 3 years in mass production;
  • 1972 - masters surprise the world with an electronic liquid crystal clock;
  • 1988 - quartz automatic timepieces are created, charged by hand flutters;
  • 1999 - a watch with an anchor mechanism, which has greater accuracy than the outdated tourbillon, is introduced.

Features and benefits

In addition to the already legendary precision of the movement, women's wrist watches are distinguished by practicality and convenience, which are provided with an ergonomic case shape, backlight, chronograph and other important functions. Cases of steel and titanium are impact resistant and are equipped with the highest degree of water protection, they can be safely taken in the most extreme campaigns. Mineral and sapphire crystal perfectly protect the finished product from scratches.

Real Swiss watches are designed to serve their owner as long as possible, as they are high quality products.

One of the undoubted advantages of products of this kind is manual production. However, this does not mean that such accessories are assembled completely by hand. Thus, the absolute majority of Swiss watch movements are created using automated systems, although high-class experts supervise their work, not allowing even a minimal percentage of defects. Among other things, ladies' wrist watches made in Switzerland are also distinguished by an incredibly attractive design.

Types and models

There are a lot of types and models of women's Swiss watches. The first thing to decide: quartz, electronics or mechanics.

The main advantage of quartz watches is their perfect accuracy. The mechanism of this watch uses a microscopic quartz crystal, battery powered. The average service life on one battery is 3 years.

Quartz Swiss watches are more resistant to shock than mechanical ones.

In terms of prestige and reliability, modern mechanical Swiss watches are much higher than quartz ones. Such watches do not work from the battery, but from unwinding the coil spring that controls the arrows. There are two types of mechanical watches, different in the way of "construction" of the spring: manual and automatic winding. The first need to start once a day, twisting the head, and the second start up the machine from the movements of the hands, which are wearing a watch.

If the negative sides of a quartz watch can be attributed to the need for regular battery replacement, the mechanics are very susceptible to damage, cushioning of elements and temperature changes. Basically, the mechanisms of women's Swiss watches are made on the basis of quartz. There are few mechanical models, since they are not very much in demand among women, because, as a rule, the representatives of the weaker sex do not have just one pair of watches, but to start several mechanisms in the morning is a rather dreary exercise.

The watch case can be made of solid steel and titanium or feminine ceramics. Fans of chic will be delighted with the gold and gold-plated watch. Business ladies will love the so-called smart watches. Especially on business trips, the alarm function is useful. Lovers of an active lifestyle will appreciate the special properties of a sports watch from Switzerland, such as, for example, water resistance and shock resistance.

In the form of the case, women's wrist watches exist: traditional round, official rectangular, square, everyday barrel-shaped and business oval. Unique non-standard watches are becoming increasingly popular - asymmetric, wavy, star-shaped and others. The dial itself can have a variety of shades (white, black, gray, blue, blue, green, silver, pearl, golden, yellow, beige, brown, red, pink, burgundy, purple or orange).

The dial of ladies' Swiss watches can be Arabic or Roman numerals, or simply different marks instead. Women's Swiss watch bracelets are steel, titanium, textile, leather, rubber and ceramic. If the chronograph (window with date) in the women's watch can be seen quite rarely, then the hypertrophied image of the well-known logo is very popular.

Design and decor

In addition to the classic performance, women's Swiss watches can often be found in semi-precious stones, inlays, rhinestones, zircons, cubic zirconia, Swarovski crystals and even diamonds. Modern mechanisms, dressed in a luxurious design execution, are genuine works of jewelry.

Experimenting with the form and materials nowadays concerns not only the body and its components, but also the bracelet, which in the case of female models comes to the fore - serves as a bright complement to the image. So, a bracelet can be a kind of continuation of the case, it can have outrageous inserts-rings, elegant links-beads, democratic contrast stitches, or “animal” embossing of the strap.

How much are?

Original watches made in Switzerland are not cheap. The most expensive brands are Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Omega, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Swatch and Franck Muller.

The premium segment is not just a watch, but a work of art that cannot be cheap. A million euros is far from the limit for such products.

Celebrities choose their watches for tens of thousands of dollars, and ordinary business women can afford to buy Swiss watches worth about a thousand dollars.

Basically the cost of products of Swiss craftsmen depends on the following factors:

  • brand popularity;
  • design complexity;
  • high cost of materials;
  • the presence of precious and semi-precious stones.

How to distinguish a fake?

Pay attention to the marking of the built-in mechanism. The largest supplier of watch movements in Switzerland is ETA. Then follow the companies Ronda, ISA, Unitas and Valjoux.

Watches are considered Swiss only if they have passed the final test in Switzerland itself, and the watch mechanism:

  • entirely Swiss made;
  • placed in the building directly in Switzerland;
  • consists of more than half Swiss parts.

The Swiss made and Swiss markings contain only genuine Swiss watches. The most expensive exclusive copies can be Geneva or Geneve. In the event that only the watch mechanism is made in Switzerland, and the watch itself is assembled in another state, the word movement is added to the word Swiss. Swiss Parts means that only some parts are made in Switzerland.

Due to the huge popularity of Swiss watches, fraudsters often give out low-quality products to the original, selling them at an incredible cost.

To recognize a fake, you need to focus on the following details:

  • the hands of real Swiss watches do not twitch, but gently move on the dial;
  • an elite watch bracelet is always made of high quality leather or precious metal;
  • expensive watches have a certificate of quality with an individual number;
  • detailed instructions and a guarantee must be attached to the originals;
  • luxury brand model never sold without branded packaging.

What to choose?

A variety of female models of Swiss watches in different price categories allow you to choose exactly what you need. This watch has a different purpose: some are perfect for business (a classic on a leather bracelet), others for a secular stay (an elegant model in a gilded frame), the third ones are indispensable for sports activities (shock-proof chronograph), and the fourth will be useful on trips or tourist trips ( waterproof for scuba diving).

As a gift, it is better to choose a plain classical model. Catchy shades and frilly design, few people love. It is more rational to focus on brand reliability and elegant feminine style.

Reviews

Judging by the fact that it was not possible to find negative reviews about the originals of women's Swiss watches (except for too high a price), these accessories serve their numerous mistresses faithfully. The overwhelming majority of consumers note the high quality of ladies watches made in Switzerland. Such products are more likely to get bored than to break.

Moreover, wearing watches made in Switzerland increases self-esteem, gives confidence and even allows you to make new important contacts.
