Zeppelin watches
Zeppelin
The German Zeppelin watches are not related to the legendary rock band from Britain. The company's name is a tribute to the inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and the aircraft he created.
Brand history
The Zeppelin brand is owned by Point Tec, registered in 1987. Its founder, Willie Birk, decided to produce accessories that would differ from the same type of Asian products that captured the market at that time. Birk wanted to offer people something that was high quality, affordable, and that emphasized individuality.
Zeppelin wristwatches, one of the trademarks owned by Point Tec, appeared in 2007. They bear the name of Count Zeppelin, who created the airship, which was the largest, most technologically advanced and advanced at that time. The accessories currently being produced are a tribute to the history and achievements of the inventor. They have the reliability of a huge airship, retro design, the spirit of freedom and adventure, lines reminiscent of scientists' drawings, and, of course, impeccable German quality, confirmed by the Made in Germany inscription. It is not for nothing that the company’s products were chosen for the country’s national army.
Philosophy
The manufacturer pays great attention to the history of aircraft manufacturing, so it is not surprising that the collections and watch models are named after airships and the people associated with their creation. Assembly takes place in the city of Ruhla, which has been considered the watchmaking center of Germany since the 19th century. Zeppelin accessories are created for those who are looking for more than just a device for measuring time, but want to touch history.
Zeppelin watch lines
Despite the fact that the brand is young, it has managed to release quite a lot of collections:
- 100 Year Zeppelin: in 2009, a line appeared dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the founding of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH. Its distinctive feature is domed glass. Models are equipped with quartz and mechanical calibers.
- Transatlantic: the most unusual collection created in honor of the first airship flights across the Atlantic Ocean. Most products have additional functions: alarm clock, second time zone, chronograph, etc.
- Flatline: ultra-thin accessories in a classic style with Swiss movements.
- Grace Lady: Women can also buy products from the German brand, such as those included in the line dedicated to Grace Lethbridge, the first lady to fly on an airship.
In addition to those described, there are many other men's and women's Zeppelin collections: Hindenburg, Rome, Graf Zeppelin, Nordstein, Night Cruise, Princess of the sky, Liberty and others.
Mechanisms
The German manufacturer uses the best mechanical and quartz calibers: Swiss ETA and Ronda, Japanese Miyota, as well as less well-known, but no less reliable and accurate Polet and German quartz movements with radio control. The model range includes both standard watches and chronographs.
The best part is that despite the impeccable quality, the price of Zeppelin accessories is affordable. Of course, this is not economy class, but not luxury either. The characteristics of the models make them worthy competitors of more well-known brands.
