Which watch do you wear during a job interview?

Posted on 4 June 2020 at 7:31 AM

You are looking for a new job and suddenly you get the opportunity to apply for your dream job. A job interview is not only exciting but also important, after all you want that great job! The first impression is very important and is often formed in seconds by the person sitting opposite you. That is why you have taken care of your hair, clothing, shoes and perhaps a nice parfum. Everything has to fit together. But which watch do you wear when applying for a job?

Which watch is best to wear?

You often only get one chance for a first impression, so it has to be right. A watch is an accessory that often catches the eye and says a lot about the person who wears it. When applying for a job, you want your clothing, belt, shoes and watch to be matched. It has to fit together without getting boring.

To determine which watch is best to wear during a job interview, you should ask yourself a few questions; what type of job is it and what type are you?

Which watch best suits the type of job?

Let's get into the job type first. Suppose you apply for a job in construction (for example as a carpenter or construction worker), then you choose a robust watch that looks sporty. You want your sportsmanship and fitness to stand out. In addition, a high-quality and robust watch indicates that you choose quality. The German brand Davosa produces watches that are extremely strong and reliable. They are not cheap, but you do buy a watch that you can enjoy for years and certainly has a sporty look.

When you apply for a job as a salesperson, you can wear a sporty watch depending on the type of products or service you need to sell. But you better choose a modest watch. A watch that radiates confidence and does not stand out too much. If you have to sell something, the customer's attention should not be completely absorbed by your watch. You want your customer to be interested and interested in the product or service you need to sell. A few watch brands that meet these characteristics are Junkers and Iron Annie.

When you apply for an office job you have a wide choice of types of watches. It is important that you look at how your colleagues are dressed. Does everyone wear casual clothes or a tailored suit? If you choose a casual watch, you can easily wear an Eone Time watch. These watches are unique in design, have a sympathetic appearance and are also affordable. Adjust the choice for your watch to this. Of course, the watch should also be comfortable on the wrist when you sit at a desk a lot.

If you are going for a managerial job, we advise you to have a modest watch that exudes style and quality. For example a Swiss made watch. A good example is a watch from Epos or Fortis. Both qualitative brands that have Swiss made timepieces. The designs are relatively classic, stylish and exude class.

What type are you?

In an interview it is important that you are yourself. The employer would like to see this, so that he can decide on this basis that you are the best option for the job and fit within the company. We advise you to wear a watch that suits you best and says something about who you are. If you are outgoing, social and sporty, choose a watch that stands out a bit, for example because of a specific brand, chronograph function, the size of the case or a special color of the dial or watch strap. However, if you are more an understated and calm person, it is best to choose a classic and elegant watch. This type of watch has an understated design, relatively small watch case, white or black dial and often a leather watch strap. A good choice is a watch with an automatic movement. This radiates peace and class.

How do you wear your watch during the job interview?

A watch often stands out. It is a handy and attractive accessory, and often the only piece of jewelry for men. Women often have more choice in terms of jewelry, for example by wearing a beautiful ring, bracelet or necklace.

There are some important points when wearing a watch during an interview. A mistake is quickly made. We give you some tips: make sure your watch is not too present, a gaudy watch does not make a good impression. The watch should absolutely not be too big, but certainly not too small. Choose a watch with an average size, for example with a 40-42 mm case diameter. It is best to match your watch to the rest of your clothing. If you opt for brown shoes and a brown belt, for example, wear a watch with a beautiful brown leather watch strap.

A very important aspect is that the time and date are set correctly. The wrong time and date look sloppy. In addition, you don't want to be late for your job interview, or even come on the wrong day. Also, despite the fact that you really like your watch, don't try to look too much at your watch. This is because it is uninterested or gives the impression that you have to go somewhere else that is more important.

Conclusion

Wearing the right watch for a job interview is extremely important. Think carefully in advance about which type of watch you want to wear, which watch best suits the job and yourself. Make sure that the watch does not stand out too much, is not excessively large or small and that you do not continuously look at your watch.

A job interview is important and can change your life. The first impression is absolutely important because an image of and about you is formed within seconds. By wearing the right watch you are slightly more likely to get a positive result. If you choose the wrong watch, you have less chance on your dream job. And maybe you are lucky and have spent time choosing the right watch, and the man or woman opposite you is very interested in watches. Then you immediately have a nice topic of conversation and this takes the stress off it a bit.

Before setting off for your job interview, take a few minutes to determine which watch you want to wear, and you may have your dream job afterwards!

Diving watches

Posted on 26 May 2020 at 3:07 PM

Most sports enthusiasts like to wear a watch. A sporty watch with a chronograph function, for example, is handy and elegant. There is a wide range of sports watches. Fortunately, if you like to be active in the water, there is also a lot of choice. Diving watches are very interesting, because these watches have to meet many different properties and quality is extremely important.

Fortunately, there are many watch brands that produce very good diving watches. If you like to dive or snorkel and want to wear a watch, you should choose a watch that is suitable for that. There are several things you can look out for as a diver when looking for a dive watch that suits your needs. This article is therefore a blog article for those who are looking for a good diving watch. A diving watch is generally characterized by a sporty appearance, but that is of course not the most important.

One of the most important aspects of a dive watch is logically the water resistance. However, this differs per dive watch and it remains important to compare this data against your requirements and wishes. For example, how many meters does your dive watch have to be waterproof? This can differ for someone who really dives with someone who mainly snorkels. Most dive watches are water resistant to at least 200 meters. This is also the minimum we believe. After all, you don't want to worry about your watch when you want to dive. A dive watch is an instrument that should work perfectly when you are diving.

In addition to the water resistance, there are other properties for a dive watch that are important, some of which are also related to the water resistance. For example, a rotating bezel is important, because of the time measurement. The rotating bezel tells you how long you have been underwater and therefore when you have to come up because you are running out of oxygen. But a screw-down crown is also very important, as this provides extra protection against water. Most dive watches have a screw-down crown. This feature is also useful outside of diving, as a screw-down crown is less fragile than a regular crown.

We find various models of diving watches very interesting and we will share them with you. First of all, the Davosa watch brand. This German brand stands for solidity, reliability and durability and uses Swiss quality timepieces from ETA and Valjoux. A nice additional advantage of this brand is that it is very affordable for the quality of the product. Davosa's Ternos and Argonautic models are very sporty. The Ternos Diver models are waterproof up to 200 meters and the Ternos Pro Black Suit and Ternos Professional up to 500 meters. The watches in this series are equipped with a rotating bezel. The luminous indicators are also a plus. Davosa produces excellent quality diving watches with which you are assured of a high-quality watch for diving. In addition, the Davosa watches are also sporty and have a beautiful design, so you can also wear the watch casual or at a business meeting.

Meccaniche Veneziane is an Italian watch brand that also offers beautiful and sporty diving watches. This brand comes with quality watches with the stylish Italian look. The Nereide models from Meccaniche Veneziane are waterproof up to 200 meters. In addition, they are equipped with a screw-down crown, a rotating bezel and luminous indicators. These sporty watches are equipped with Swiss quality movements. High-quality materials such as stainless steel and sapphire glass are used during the production of these beautiful watches. This combination guarantees a sustainable product. Just like the Davosa watches, you can also wear a Meccaniche Veneziane watch other than during diving as well. The watches have a sporty design and are easy to combine with any clothing style.

Of course we should not forget Epos. This Swiss watch brand has a number of models that are ideal for diving. The Epos Sportive Diver watches are definitely worth a look if you are looking for a good diving watch. In this series from Epos we find tough and robust diving watches that are waterproof up to 500 meters. The combination of such good water resistance, a rotating bezel and a screw-down crown is a golden combination for a real diving watch. Materials used for these watches include stainless steel, sapphire glass and rubber. The nice thing about the Epos watches is that they are completely Swiss made but have remained affordable.

Of course, in addition to the mentioned watches, there are several other brands that produce high-quality diving watches. Basically, it is therefore very important to pay attention not only to the water resistance of a watch, but also to features such as a screwed crown and rotating bezel. In addition, the luminous indicators are an absolute plus.

Remember that a diving watch or a sporty watch is also often worn by watch enthusiasts who do not dive or exercise at all. This type of watch is very attractive because of its good features, sporty designs and often attractive prices. Dive watches are also often used in survival, boating and other sports. The solidity in combination with the sporty character appeals to many people.

If you are looking for a diving watch, take a look at our webshop. Here you will find a wide selection of dive watches that meet all requirements. Moreover, you can easily set your filters and in this way you can easily find various watches that suit your needs. The listed watches from Epos, Meccaniche Veneziane and Davosa are also available in our shop.


As an official dealer of the above brands, we supply most watches from stock. Each watch comes with a minimum of 2 years warranty, luxury watch box and manual.

Swiss and German watches

Posted on 1 May 2020 at 8:11 AM

Watches come in all shapes and sizes. If you are looking for a watch from a real watch manufacturer, not from a fashion brand, you will soon end up with a Swiss or German watch brand. Switzerland and Germany are known for their watches because they have been offering excellent quality and beautiful designs for decades. Swiss watches have the designation Swiss made, which is known worldwide and is still an important factor for many people when purchasing a watch. However, German watches are just as good in quality and often use Swiss movements. The difference is in the country of production. Are Swiss watches better than German watches?

As said, watches from Switzerland have the designation Swiss made, which still has a lot of value in the field of marketing. Watch enthusiasts find this predicate important because it says something about where the watch was made. But also about the quality. But to label Swiss watches as better than German watches is not enough. German watch brands also have a very good reputation. Think of Davosa and Fortis in the middle segment in terms of price. In the lower segment, German watch brands such as Junkers, Iron Annie and Zeppelin are good examples of brands that are popular and successful. Of course there are also Swiss and German brands that you better ignore. For example, they are too expensive or do not offer the quality you would expect from watches produced in these countries.

In Switzerland, of course, you have some beautiful watch brands such as Breitling, Tag Heuer, IWC and many others. Brands that are in the higher price segment and are not affordable for everyone. But there are also many other Swiss brands that are affordable, such as Cornavin, Glycine and Epos. Especially Epos is a leading watch brand that has been making fantastic watches for decades. However, the brand is quite unknown because it has no major marketing campaigns and prefers to invest its money in the brand itself. This means you can buy beautiful Swiss made watches at Epos for a fraction of the price of other well-known Swiss watch brands. We find Epos an interesting brand because you get Swiss quality for a very attractive price. In addition, the Epos watches have a very high level of finish and a sublime automatic movement from ETA. The watches are very beautifully packaged and of course a 2-year warranty is provided.

After all, quality costs money. Because salaries in Switzerland are higher than in EU countries, a watch from Switzerland will generally also be more expensive. A German watch brand can have the exact same movement type and finish level, but still be considerably cheaper. This has to do with the aforementioned difference in salaries, but also because Swiss brands (can) ask for more money for their watches through the Swiss made designation. If you do not value the Swiss made designation, you can very well succeed with buying a German watch brand.

A good example are the Junkers watches. Junkers is a German watch brand that mostly uses Swiss and Japanese movements in its watches, with production taking place in Germany. The watches are fully assembled in Germany. The new watch brand Iron Annie also comes from the same factory. This watch brand also uses Swiss movements. The design language is retro at Iron Annie, where Junkers offers the popular Bauhaus series and real pilot watches. The nice thing about both German watch brands is that they make very affordable watches. You already buy a Junkers or Iron Annie watch that is completely made in Germany and has a Swiss quartz movement from 199 euros. That is really affordable for a real watch brand!

Another German watch brand that we have already briefly mentioned above is Davosa. This brand also produces its watches with Swiss movements. The most popular series from Davosa are the Argonautic and Ternos that use an automatic movement that is Swiss made. Quality is paramount at Davosa. The sporty Argonautic and Ternos watches have a good automatic movement, above-average water resistance and a beautiful finish. The prices are interesting as well, and start from 650 euros. For this price you have a beautiful watch with Swiss movement that you will enjoy for years.

In short, in terms of quality, there are not many differences between good German and Swiss watch brands. The Swiss brands are often a bit more known to the wider public. Almost everyone knows Rolex, Omega, Breitling and Tag Heuer. Watch brands such as Davosa and Fortis may be less well-known, they produce excellent watches with a very attractive price level.
