subject: Advantage Of Longines And Movado Watches [print this page] With over 250 years of manufacturing experience between them, purchasing Logines and Movado watches is like wearing a piece of history in your wrist. When buying a product, men always look for functionality first then design second. In some cases, they can do without the design but they never compromise the reliability of the gadget.
A tradition of excellence
Swiss-made brands are known for their accuracy and the Logines watches are no exception. The watchmaker is celebrating its 180th anniversary in 2012 and the brand is known for elegance and performance. It is also known for being extremely adaptable to change by forging partnerships with global sports federations and famous celebrity icons without sacrificing its commitment to excellence. The manufacturer has gained the most awards in international exhibitions winning at least 10 Grand Prix. Its also a member of Swatch Group Ltd., the prime horological manufacturer in the world. Those alone are enough to convince anybody into buying the brand but when you throw in the affordable prices, you would be hard pressed to find any other product. You can buy the La Grande Classiques Men's Watch with quartz movement and crocodile leather strap for a little over $500. Or you can take home an item from its popular sports collection at a starting price of $900. Of course, if you have money to burn, the Master Collection
with self-winding movement, and 18k rose gold face which can be had for $8,000 is the perfect choice.
Museum pieces
The Movado Group Inc. is a manufacturer that traces its roots in 1881 in Switzerland. The horological design and accuracy of its products earned it more than 200 international awards over the years. Its not an accident that the brand is a favourite among museums and auction houses all over the world. Apart from the Museum collection, its ESQ collection for men is very popular for their versatility. You can wear them regardless of whether you are in a suit, dress clothes or in shorts. In terms of affordability, the brand is comparable to Police watches which you can buy at above $500 but with more lan.
Accuracy
Both watches utilise ETA, the worlds renowned manufacturer of Swiss-made movements popular for their accuracy and reliability. Movado watches use ETA 2892 which is considered as the workhorse of all movements. Longines, meanwhile, uses Swiss Valjoux 7751 for its products. Guaranteeing accuracy in timepieces is not a cheap endeavour. Its a wonder how both manufacturers manage to keep their prices low.
