A watch is no longer just a method of measuring time. Watches have increasingly become a fashion accessory. Not only for ladies but certainly for men. For men, there are not so many pieces of jewelry, that makes the watch the accessory pur sang. A watch says a lot about the person who wears the watch. A watch must match with the person and also with the clothes and shoes that the person is wearing. But you can also think of a specific occasion where a watch has to fit. Think for example of a wedding, party, holiday or business dinner.

Especially when doing business, the impression you create is very important. In addition, a watch is always a nice topic of conversation for many men. Especially men who are interested in cars and technology will certainly look interested at the watch you are wearing.

In this blog we write about the ideal watch for a business conversation. Which watch is best to wear? Which type of watch suits you and what impression do you want to create? Of course, we give a few examples of excellent watches that you can wear when you do business.

Determine which watch is appropriate for the occasion

If you are having a business conversation with another person for the first time, the first impression is extremely important. So it is evident that you examine in advance who the person is sitting opposite you and what the content of your conversation will be.

If you want to sell or buy a certain product or service, it is advisable to choose a watch that suits this. When you sell coffee you can think of a nice Italian watch from Meccaniche Veneziane. Because Italian coffee brands are well-regarded and Italy has a clear link with coffee. If you talk to your conversation partner about diving items, it is useful that you wear a sporty watch or better yet a diving watch. You can easily match the watch to the content of the conversation. If your meeting is about classical music, choose a modest watch with an automatic movement. For example a classic Epos watch.

Misfits

You can easily make a mistake. Choosing a watch that actually does not suit you, or looks terrible in combination with your clothes. Think for example of colors. If you wear a blue shirt, do not choose a watch with a purple or green dial. Choose a watch with a blue, black or white dial.

There are a few points you need to consider in terms of watches. Never opt for a very striking watch. Too big, too colorful, too expensive etc etc. It all derives from the core, namely the content of the conversation you want to have. Choose an understated watch that matches your character and your clothing. Then you are always doing well. 

You certainly don't want to give the impression that you are a fast guy who wants to do business just as quickly. You want to radiate reliability. If you wear an expensive watch this can work both ways, it can be seen as gaudy or it can be interpreted that your products or service are too expensive. On the other hand, an exclusive and more expensive watch can impress and give the person across the table the feeling of sitting at the table with someone who radiates authority and success.

Examples of good watches for a business conversation

We have selected a few examples of watches that you can wear during a business conversation. We paid attention to the appearance of the watch. They are watches from different brands and from different price ranges.

We want to start with the Epos Emotion watches. This series offers watches with a very refined and understated design. The models can be called quite classic, but not so classic that they are old-fashioned. The nice thing about these watches is that they have a beautiful leather strap that you can combine nicely in color with your belt and shoes. As a big advantage, these watches have a Swiss made movement. That certainly provides discussion material.

Another good example of an excellent watch that you can safely wear during a business meeting is an Iron Annie watch. This German brand produces beautiful watches with a traditional design. A big advantage of the Iron Annie watches is that they are also very affordable. You can already buy an Iron Annie watch for less than 200 euros.

As a final example, we would like to mention the Davosa Ternos and Argonautic watches. Both Davosa series are sporty and tough. These watches stand for decisiveness, sportiness and reliability. The Davosa watches have the appearance of a much more expensive watch, and also offer similar features, but are considerably cheaper. This shows you have style but that the price is also important to you.

Conclusion

You really do not have to wear a super expensive watch during a business meeting to overwhelm your conversation partner. Opt for a subdued watch that doesn't distract from the conversation itself. You want to make a good impression and for that you normally only get one chance. Take this opportunity by choosing the watch that suits you. Besides a nice conversation topic that can break the ice, you may both have a passion for beautiful watches! Doing business will certainly become easier!

As a lover of beautiful watches you also have a preference for a watch with a nice story or background. Also when you are looking for a traditional pilot's watch then the German brand Iron Annie is recommended. For those familiar with the Junkers brand, Iron Annie's identity will come as no surprise. This relatively new watch brand is seen as the successor to Junkers. Iron Annie has a lot to offer as a watch brand. Not only is this traditional brand very affordable, it also offers a very good collection of various types of watches, which are also very reliable. In short, this brand has an excellent price/quality ratio. In addition, there is a suitable watch for everyone in the Iron Annie collection. The collection is very varied and also offers a wide range. Every Iron Annie watch is equipped with a quality movement of Swiss or Japanese origin.

The name of the brand can be traced back to the JU 52 aircraft with registration D-AQUI, which at the time were baptized "Iron Annie" by the Americans. Just like then, the name now stands for robustness, reliability and a distinctive design. The Iron Annie watches are manufactured by hand in Germany, where craftsmen value quality and workmanship. Within the Iron Annie collection we find both automatic and quartz watches. These two variants of watches each have their own advantages and each will therefore have its own favorite. So at Iron Annie you are at the right place for both. In addition, Iron Annie offers pilot watches, a type of watch that has become increasingly popular and sought after over the years.

The collection of Iron Annie watches consists of different series, of which Bauhaus is perhaps the most famous. The inspiration for this series of watches can be found in the Bauhaus art movement, where simplicity and minimalism predominate. Do you want a watch with not too much fuss, but a nice, simple design? Then this series might be for you! Although the design is minimalistic, the technology behind the watch is certainly not. There are several models with a transparent bottom, behind which the fascinating effect of the timepiece itself is visible. Really something for you as an enthusiast! In addition, there are Iron Annie watches with nice extra functionalities, such as date display, luminous indicators or chronograph function.

The watches in the Amazonas series from Iron Annie are inspired by the historical aviation of passengers and cargo in South America. Stylish watches with a classic approach predominate here. We see colors such as dark brown, classic blue and black a lot and are easy to combine with any clothing style. If you are looking for a traditional pilot's watch, you can indulge yourself in Iron Annie's Flight Control series. This is a special collection of pilot watches with a stylish classic look. In this series you will find automatic, mechanical and quartz watches. The great thing is that every Iron Annie watch is available with a beautiful leather strap or a Milanese stainless steel strap. This allows even more variation and you can easily find exactly the watch that suits you.

In short, the Iron Annie watches are offering great value for money. If you are looking for a nice watch chances are big that you will succeed with Iron Annie. If you want to view the collection, you can take a look at our website. You can also easily and quickly order your favorite watch here.

The beautiful watch brand Tag Heuer was created in 1860 by Edouard Heuer. Two things were very important then: family leadership and technical innovation. When Edouard Heuer was 20 years old, he opened his own watch shop in Saint-Imier, and then made pocket watches by hand. He made most watches from silver at the time. He received his first patent in 1869, which was a patent for a keyless winding system.

Edouard Heuer received a patent for a system that stops the stopwatch function immediately after pressing a button. In the 20th century there were major developments in industrial innovations, transport, science and medicine. This brought more demand for precise measurements. In athletics, there was also a greater demand for precise measurements, and that sometimes comes down to 100 milliseconds. Also, more and more world records were set where an exact time measurement was, and still is, of great importance. When cars and planes arrived, Edouard Heuer made instruments for the dashboard of cars and other means of transport. They had many types of stopwatches and pocket watches with stopwatch function, but few wrist watches.

Tag Heuer started to make many new wristwatches and became the market leader in wristwatches. They also made dashboard gauges. Subsequently, the brand produced a new type of stopwatch containing rings to measure other types of (sports) events.

Tag Heuer was the first to make an automatic chronograph, and instead of black colors she now made many colors and special shapes. The prestigious company Hennessy Luis Vuitton subsequently bought Tag Heuer. In November 2015, the brand made the first Swiss luxury smartwatch. The Tag Heuer connected watch. In 2019, the Monaco watch existed 50 years. This model has become a real Tag Heuer icon.

You can use a watch winder to wind your automatic watches when you are not wearing them, for example if you have multiple automatic watches. After all, you can only wear one at a time. The watch winder makes a rotating movement and mimics the movement of your wrist, giving the movement inside the automatic watch energy. Some watch winders can wind 1 watch some others more automatic watches. The handy thing about a watch winder is that it is a nice storage place and that you do not have to set your watches properly in time, date and other functions. Most watch winders run according to a program. As a result, a watch winder only has to run for a few minutes, then temporarily stop and then resume this cycle. In this way, a natural wrist movement is simulated. The watch does not have to be in motion for 24 hours, because this is also not the case when you wear the watch yourself around your wrist. Then you also alternate moments of movement with standstill.
