swiss watch rating
Compiling a watch rating is a thankless task, and even a Swiss watch rating is generally hopeless. What is the principle to choose the best of the best, if the quality standards and the price order are almost the same (“What is more than a thousand, then a million,” said the classic and indeed, when buying a watch, the difference between 50,000 euros and 150,000 thousand euros is not so much large).
But since we do not pretend to be the ultimate truth, we will allow ourselves to create our own rating, based on our own tastes and on the tastes of celebrities.
10th place
Maradona likes it - we like it too.
The “Hand of God” is decorated with watches from the Swiss brand Hublot. This brand is young, but bold. Firstly, Hublot is bold in design - mixes of tantalum, magnets, gold and titanium are recognizable and original. And secondly, we are obliged to include Hublot in the rating due to the fact that the company relies on innovation and sooner or later they will change the 10th place to something more honorable.
9th place
Blancpain is proof by contradiction. While some companies give preference to quartz watches, Blancpain continues to produce mechanical watches with such complex functionality that few people think of repeating Blancpain's success. The rest have only to envy, because Blancpain is a watch of the level of the President (do you agree, Mr. Putin?).
8th place
On track 8 you can see the record-breaking watch representing the International Watch Compan, better known as IWC. Once worn by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, today IWC is chosen by sports stars. As the production of the IWC sports line is raised to the highest level!
7th place
The third president of the Russian Federation has always been famous for his love for technical brands. Apparently, this is why Dmitry Medvedev fell in love with Franck Muller watches. Here the design is good, and the accuracy of the course is amazing, but how many more bells and whistles! What is the platinum rotor worth, the hallmark of the brand. In general, the 7th is a happy place.
6th place
Until now, in the rating, we have focused on men's tastes, but women's preferences also affect the popularity of watch brands. Thanks to Salma Hayek and Sharon Stone, the Chopard watch house is gaining more and more popularity. Yes, and there is a reason. Chopard's "LUC" calibers are no longer mere time indicators, they are works of art at the VIP level.
4th place
How to conquer time and the world in 100 years? Ask Rolex. The brand was born in 1908… Well, yes, the brand is not celebrating its centenary yet, but we are not Swiss watches and we can afford a small inaccuracy. But Rolexes do not allow themselves this, and for this they are appreciated by Bruce Willis, Nicolas Cage and even Mr. "All the Riches of the World" Carlos Slim.
3rd place
The Geneva watch house Patek Philippe was once founded by a Polish immigrant. Today, Patek Philippe has its own museum and a staff of 220 who produce all parts exclusively for Patek Philippe. Leo Tolstoy and Andy Warhol did not think about seconds down with this watch.
2nd place
“For the time being in the morning dress,
Wearing a wide bolivar,
Onegin goes to the boulevard
And there he walks in the open,
Until the dormant breguet
Lunch won't ring for him."
The key word is breguet, Breguet. Yes, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon Bonaparte, Patriarch Kirill and again Mr. Putin.
1 place
And here begins a tough battle between objectivity and modesty, and the latter loses. As we warned at the very beginning, the rating is ours, so we reward whoever we want.
Further in the voice of Michael Buffer: And the company will run around ... Invicta!
Because both Swiss and affordable! You can read about the history of the brand HERE , and we will remember those stars who were seen wearing Invicta watches on their wrists. These are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Roy Jones, Robert Downey Jr, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, Jason Taylor, Mark Dacascos, Enrique Iglesias...
At this point, Michael Buffer would look at his watch and say, "Let's get ready to rumble!"
