A Luxury Watch Is The Ideal Gift For Those Occasions

A luxury watch is the ideal gift for those occasions which require something a little more special

. There are a number of retailers which sell these high end luxury items either online or off line. Purchasing a designer watch online can offer better value, as online stores do not tend to have the same overheads as traditional shops and so can sell their products cheaper. This situation becomes fraught with difficulties however, as you cannot actually physically handle the product prior to purchase. The quickest way to determine whether or not what you have purchased is the genuine article is to check the price. Genuine luxury watches rarely dip below 150 whereas replica watches range anywhere from 20 to 80. In addition, a genuine luxury watch will almost always have a crystal watch face, which will cause beads to form when a drop of water falls onto it. If it is glass however, the water will smear. Replica watches also have a life of around two to three years, while a genuine watch has a considerably longer life expectancy.

The Breitling Emergency is one such professional instrument, featuring a radio transmitter, and the Breitling Navitimer which features a circular slide rule.

In 1860, the TAG Heuer watch making company was set up in St Imier, Switzerland. The first chronograph for the company was patented in 1882, and five years later a patent was made on his oscillating piston, a feature which is still used to this day by watchmakers when making chronographs. The first of the Tag watches to become a wrist chronograph was brought out in 1914. On this model, the crown was placed in the 12 o Clock position (The first of these chronographs were initially developed from the design of traditional pocket watches). The design of the watches progressively grew better and more complex, and by the forties, Tag chronographs were made to include the date and time, and ten years later, there were Seafarers Tag watches which could display the level of the tide. The brand continues to be one of the leading producers of luxury timepieces, with links to the sporting world as well as Hollywood.
