Luxury Mens Watches Brands

Among all of the different luxury men’s watches brands available to choose from, there are watches whose costs range from a simple $10 flop to over $3000. However, not all of the watches are actually luxury, they might just have very expensive stones. Three men’s watches brands currently stand out for their fantastic quality amid their interesting, unique, and appealing signature designs. Of course, these brands are Movado, TAG Heuer, and Breitling, each with their interesting histories and even more intriguing watches. If you’re looking for a luxury watch, these brands are the first you should go to.

Movado, the Esperanto word for movement, is a Swiss luxury watch brand. They are famous for their simplistic and clean design: plain hands, a solid background, and an indentation on the 12 o’clock point. You can also be sure to find sapphire crystals on Movado watches. This brand was started back in 1881 by Achilles Ditesheim, and has since become a classic brand with over 125 years of experience in watchmaking. Movado watches will rarely cost less than $100, but any brand producing watches costing over $1000 apiece should be something to look at. This company has consistently been making high-end watches that have very rarely flopped.

Another Swiss company, TAG Heuer was started in 1860 by Edouard Heuer. TAG Heuer is part of the world’s largest conglomerate for luxury goods, LVMH. This brand keeps close in touch with Hollywood and sports, timekeeping for the Formula 1 World Championship, the Skiing World Championship, and other sporting events. TAG Heuer developed the Monaco Calibre 360 LS Concept Chronograph, a timepiece that earned the brand the iF design award. Be prepared to drop some serious cash for one of these watches, as the only watches priced under $1000 are the Formula 1 watches. The most expensive will run you over $8000.

Yet another Swiss brand, Breitling designs watches mainly for aviation use, but the market has slowly turned the watches into luxury watches. As a result, these watches will have many little features normally useless in daily life, like moon phase and double chronograph. However, those same function look very snazzy on a watch, which is probably why these same aviation watches double up as beautiful luxury watches. A certain watch, like the Aeromarine Colt, starts out just about $2000 on a simple rubber strap. If you want an upgrade to steel cased models, the entire watch can cost up to $7300.

As you can see, Swiss brands tend to be the dominant ones producing high-end luxury men’s watches. These watches can cost way over $1000, so if you’re afraid of the 4-digits, brands like Movado can afford to offer some under $400 apiece while maintaining quality. These are definitely the best luxury men’s watches brands.
