Ice Watches – The History Of One Of The Leading Designer Watch Brands

2010-06-01T04:01:00.000-07:00

Although the Ice Watch brand is only 3 years old, started in just 2007, it has rapidly propelled itself to be one of the newest yet leading brands on the watch market, with their low cost, designer watches appealing to all ages. Despite hundreds of thousands of people wearing Ice Watches with pride, very little is known of the brand and how it came about, but the history of one of the worlds trendiest brands really does make very interesting reading.

The brand originally began in Belgium, where its main head office is currently situated in the Bastogne area of this beautiful country. Originally started in 2007, in the space of around three years the brand has literally become an overnight success, with hundreds of celebrities and well know people currently wearing one of their watches with pride, with its designer feel and stunning presentation making this a watch you really want to wear.

Despite the amount of wealthy people wearing the watches, they are one of the most low cost watches on the market, yet the design, quality and durability of the product puts them up there with the best in the industry offering amazing quality for the money you have to spend to own one.

The brand offers something different to most other brands on the market. The amount of colours and designs available to the consumer is simply amazing, with every colour and shade available that you could possibly think of. All of the watches feature Swarovski crystals, which are some of the finest crystals you will ever see, with the uniquely designed bracelet straps of these watches setting the brand out to offer something different, yet with a touch of elegance and class.

The Ice Watches are currently available in around 50 countries across the globe, with thousands of partners selling the watches to an eager audience both in shops and online. They continually release new ranges, which incorporate new designs, colours and styles meaning that if you want to regularly change your fashion without having to spend hundreds of pounds a time, the Ice Watches are really the way to go.

Another unique thing about the Ice Watch brand is that they are all meant to be unisex, meaning you do not need to search through either women’s or men’s to find your ideal watch, simply look through one collection and you will then be able to make your choice no matter what sex you are. The Ice collection of watches all have distinctive bright colours, combined with various forms of casings and straps. Clear cases and straps with sunray dials, opaque cases and straps in black and white, flexible opaque silicone, transparent neon straps and cases.

So, next time you want a watch that is available in thousands of different styles, colours and models, Ice Watches are really the model to go for, with low cost prices and high quality production levels making this watch one to not only wear in the present but also to look out for in the future.

How To Choose A Good Watch – Top Five Tips To Buy The Best

2010-06-01T04:00:00.000-07:00

If you are looking for a new watch to wear on your wrist with pride, elegance and style, it has become even harder to choose between all of the current ranges on the market, with more established brands now being matched by smaller, yet trendier lines. To make your decision as to the correct watch to buy takes a little bit of consideration and thought, but if you are going to spend some money on your new item of jewellery it is something you need to get right.,

Below, we look at some of the things to take into account when looking to buy your new watch.

Reputation – A watch manufacturer relies on two things, its reputation and its price. Brands like Citizen and Accurist have spent many years building a positive reputation, built on reliability, design and price and this reputation for being a leading brand takes many successful years to establish. Although it can be true that reputation can be unfairly tarnished due to outside influences, generally, if a manufacturer has a reputation for poor workmanship or reliability, it has been earned for some reason.

Previous Experience – A lot of consumers base their purchases on previous purchases and this is sometimes one of the best ways to choose a watch. You can then take into account how good that watch was for you, how long did it last, did it suit your style and was it reliable, as many manufacturers will always do their upmost to maintain the same quality, range after range, year after year, so this can often be a good marker when it comes to choosing a watch.

Customer Reviews – With the rise of the internet and the interactivity of it, you can now find reviews for any type of product or service, which means you can base your purchase on other peoples experiences, letting them find out the hard (or good) way to make sure you don’t have too. Most websites that sell products online have featured reviews and there are also dedicated and independent review sites, so you can really do the research when buying a watch and use other consumer’s experiences to help you make your judgement.

Price – The old saying that you only get what you pay for is often true, so if you are going to pay under the going concern for a watch, you must expect that sometimes they wont be as good as if you paid more. Of course, this not always the case, but generally if you are going to try and cut corners and save big amounts of money, you do often have to sacrifice on quality, which may mean your new watch will not last as long as one that you might have paid a little extra money for.

Brand – A well know brand will continually try to increase the quality and reliability of its watches, as it only takes one bad error and a reputation that has taken years to build can come crashing down. Often the more established brands are more known for quality and return on investment than the smaller brands, but even they had to start somewhere. Often brands are only good for people who follow the fashion or latest trend, whereas sometimes it can be quite exciting to try something different.

What To Consider When Buying A Watch – Key Things To Remember

2010-06-01T03:57:00.000-07:00

Buying a watch is usually not just a simple decision, like going into the local jewellery shop or going online and buying the first watch you lay your eyes. Because a watch is both an item of jewellery and something that serves a useful function in every day life, getting the balance between style and reliability becomes even more important when purchasing a watch.

Below, we look at the some of the factors and choices you may need to take into account when purchasing your next watch.

Price – Probably one of the largest factors for the majority of us when choosing a watch is the price or your budget. It is a good idea to work out how much you have to spend before going online or visiting a shop, as once you are looking at all of the fabulous watches it can be quite hard to resist something you can not really afford, and this just leads to regrets and big credit card bills. Although most brands offer a wide choice when it comes to range and pricing, there are brands that specialise in the less expensive watches and of course brands that go well up into the thousands.

Brand – Some people like the same brand time and time again and other will want to try different things, makes and manufacturers; the choice is really all yours! The main reason people stick with the same brand is when they have had a positive experience or the product they have purchased previously has lasted them for a longer period of time than expected. Brand loyalty is something every company aims for, but sometimes trying something different is the only way to find out if there is something better out there.

Style – All watch manufactures tend to have their own unique style. Watches like Citizen and Accurist are more along the lines of traditional and hard working watches, where as watches from Ice and Seksy are more down the design line of being light, funky and a little bit different compared to the rest. It is important to make sure that your watch reflects your personality and style, as wearing something you do not feel comfortable in will only mean you will not wear the watch with price.

Popularity – Do you want to wear a watch that is currently being displayed on the wrists of many celebrities or would you prefer to try something new and create a little fashion trend of your own? Some of the watches like Seksy, Ice and Sekonda are being worn by some of the top celebrities on the planet, but this doesn’t always mean you have to follow suit, as you could always pick something to suit your style rather than wear something that everyone else is.

Durability – It is important to make sure you consider why, how and where you will generally be wearing a watch. If you were looking for a watch to wear in an a work environment, you would need to try and find a watch that was durable and could handle the odd bump or shock, as a designer watch made for dinner evenings would probably not be suitable. If you plan to wear you watch for many different occasions, you will need to try and find a mixture of looks and wear ability, as you want your watch to last and survive everything you will be putting it through.

Materials Used In Watch Manufacturing

2010-05-12T09:09:00.000-07:00

The watch you are wearing now will be made of some kind of material whether it is plastic or metal but have you ever thought about this when buying watch? Watches are made of many different materials and these can vary often determine the price.

Here is a list of materials used in watch manufacturing and there impact on the price you pay at the checkout:

Stainless Steel

This is the most common material used in watch production; it is hard wearing and doesn’t erode like other metals. It can be manipulated into many shapes so is perfect for many watch designs. Stainless steel is cost effective too so can be used to produce both budget and high valued watches.

Plastic/ Silicon

This is an increasing popular option especially in the past 12 months with more and more fashion watches coming out in bright vibrant colours. These fashion watches are designed to be fun and funky and are very popular with young people. These styles vary in price depending on the type of material used, for instance silicon is more expensive than plastic due to the way it is manufactured, the best alternative is a plastic case with a silicon strap as this way the price can be kept down with a durability not being lost.

Titanium

This is being used more and more for watch manufacturing; titanium is a very durable and robust material and is used in a lot of adventure watches. Titanium is very strong but is more expensive to manufacture then steel thus adding to its retail price; however it will last along time. The material can be used for both the exterior and the movement.

Buying a watch isn’t just about your style and budget it is also about the watch itself and what makes it, this can help you to identify which one suits you best and will withstand the life you lead wearing it.

Accurist Watches – The History Of One Of The Leading Watch Brands

2010-05-12T09:06:00.002-07:00

Accurist Watches have grown to become one of the leading watch brands in the UK and also worldwide since originally launching in 1946, from a shop in St John Street in the Clerkenwell district, a popular area of London. The brand has since become renownded for its value and quality and have of course gone on to become the official time supplier for the Talk Clock and also many leading sports events and occasions.

The names originally behind Accurist were Asher and Rebecca Loftus, who originally came up with the intention of creating a brand name of lasting value, using on the best quality materials and time pieces for its watches. The watches were made from Swiss components which of course is a leading sales message, which combined with the low prices and range of models available, meant that this brand of watch was quickly established in the market.

When Richard Loftus left University, the next chapter of the Accurist watch began, as he designed a brand new range of watches that was to revolutionise the watch market all over the world. The “Old England” watches soon became somewhat of a celebrity must have, with the likes of The Beatles, Twiggy and even Princess Anne wearing their Accurist watch with pride, especially on those special occasions.

In the late sixties, Accurist opened its first office in Switzerland, which was set up as Accurist S.A., which due to its location in the heart of the watch making capital, La Chaux de Fonds, sent messages around the world that Accurist were quickly becoming one of the biggest manufacturers of designer watches in the world. The introduction of digital quartz movement and the technology development meant that Accurist were soon designer more modern watches and were the official watch for the pilots of Concorde, which was newly launched at the time.

The 1980’s saw the company move its manufacturing to Japan and also become the official sponsor of the Talking Clock, which to this day is still used by millions of people. In late 1987 Accurist were awarded The National Association of Goldsmiths first ever Award of Excellence in recognition of their contribution and influence in the UK watch market.

The 1990’s saw Accurist dominate the UK watch market, with record sales and more watches being launched than ever before, winning "Volume watch brand of the year" at The UK Jewellery Awards. Towards the end of this decade Accurist launched the accu.2 range, mainly aimed at the younger market that quickly became one of the most stocked watches in well over 1500 shops and retail outlets across the country.

There is no doubt that the marketing ability and the product development and standards have lead Accurist through the past 60 years, to still be one of the leading watch makers in the world. With increasing sponsorship deals, new products and new technology, Accurist has made massive ground in supplying designer and value for money watches to millions of people worldwide, a trend that is sure to continue, despite the increased competition in the market today.

Mechanical Movement And Electronic Movement Watches – What Is The Difference Between The Two?

2010-03-29T06:27:00.000-07:00

Everyone wants to buy a nice looking designer watch and above all they want it to last for a long time, as a well made and quality watch should last for many years, with it only needing a new battery once a year. As technology improves, so does the quality and type of watches that are manufactured by some of the leading brands, but there are still two types of movements, mechanical and electronic, and we take a look at the difference below.

Mechanical Movement Watches

When watches were first produced, they were all mechanical movement watches, as the technology did not exist outside of moving parts. Some watches contain many moving parts, all working together to make your watch keep time and move along, a bit like a cog like set up.

When you wind one of these watches up, they then slowly let off this energy to control the movement of the watch, which is controlled to make a periodic energy release, and this is how the watch keeps time. Most of these type of watches will also use a balance spring and balance wheel, which helps with the control of gear system, something which is vital to keep the watch on an accurate basis.

These watches are still sought after, but often more expensive, as they are very traditional watches. With some of them now becoming collectors models because there are less and less being made as many manufactures now move to other technologies to help with cost and accuracy.

Key facts:

• Traditional watch making assembled by hand,
• No need for battery replacements.
• Even though mechanical watches have many moving parts they work beautiful together and looked after will keep running
• With a mechanical watch the parts are always working once wound up, so servicing is key to a long life, if you start to find you’re running late it may be time to service your watch!

If you have an automatic winding watch then it would be a good idea to invest in a watch winding box, this will rotate your watch to keep the movement wound, ask watch mad for details.

Electronic Movement Watches

The new form of watches, the electronic movement watches have few or no moving parts, as they use something called the piezoelectric effect, which is in effect a tiny quartz crystal, which helps to provide a far more accurate time and stable watch, with less that can realistically go wrong.

These types of watches are often called quartz watches because of the way they work, with most looking like they still operate a mechanical operation under the surface, to help maintain the look and feel of the more traditional watches. These watches only started to be produced in 1969, with the first electronic movement watch being a Seiko, which was only really research in Switzerland in 1962.

These watches, or type of watches, generally cost less to make and are therefore made in many thousands, as they are more cost effective when made at these quantities. The electronic movement watch has helped to drive the price of designer watches down and make them more affordable, but some traditionalists will still prefer the mechanical movement watch over the electronic version.

Key facts:

• Electronic movement have few moving parts, sometimes none, as they are all electronically controlled
• They are more accurate due to the technology involved, and as this improves the watches become even more accurate
• Because they are less delicate than the mechanical movement version, they are less likely to suffer errors or issues

So, in conclusion, even though more watches are now being made with the electronic movement, traditional mechanical movements are still being produced, just at lesser levels of production which in turn contributes to them being more expensive. No one can really say which is better, as there is most definitely a market for both, but it is just good to see that watches, in whichever form are now being made more affordable in the market.

Choosing A Watch To Suit Your Style

2010-03-11T03:01:00.000-08:00

Many of us own a watch and use on an everyday basis to simply tell the time, the question is what does your watch say about you?

There are countless styles and colours to choose from when buying a watch so how do you know what one to choose. This is especially difficult when buying a watch as a gift. The first question you have to ask yourself is when will the watch be worn? If you are going to wear it on a daily basis to both work and social occasions then you have to factor this in, you may like the look of a colourful funky watch which would look great with your new jeans or trainers but how would that look if you wore it in a work environment with a suit?

With this in mind your choice of watch would have to be something that would look smart and functional for work but fashionable for when you are casually dressed, so now you are looking at a metal bracelet watch or one with a leather strap.

Many people purchase a watch on how it will make people perceive them, for instance within a business that deals with wealthy customers it can be a good idea to wear a watch that is expensive both in its style and brand. This may sound very materialistic but to some of the clients you would deal with in this environment they could easily perceive it to be a sign of wealth and someone who has worked hard to gain it, an expert in their chosen field perhaps.

For a person who is always on the go and into sports possibly adventure, the ideal watch choice would be one which is strong enough to keep up with them. This would mean they would have to factor in such functions as:

• Water resistance
• Tachymetre
• Shock Proof
• Titanium or rubber strap for durability

When buying a watch consider how you will use it and this is an important part of the buying process and making sure that you get the most from your watch purchase. If however you are in doubt of which one to purchase you could always buy two!!
