Where woman easily completes her outfit with a wide choice of all kinds of accessories and jewelry, the man generally has less choice. Actually, the men's watch is one of the few accessories that are specifically marketed for men. Now the watch obviously has several functions. Perhaps you initially think of a watch as a tool as a time meter with possibly a date display or some other extra functionalities. Nowadays many people have a (smart) phone and can use it to see which date it is or consult the time. However, the watch remains an important and very useful accessory in several ways.

For example, if you can view the time or date on a watch, this usually goes faster than if you have to reach for your phone. That is a first advantage. In addition, there are so many other reasons to wear a watch. For some people it is a status symbol. They want to show that they have good taste or that they are able to afford this luxury product. In addition, a watch is often used as a style object. As a man, you complete your outfit by wearing a matching watch. There are therefore many different watch brands, colors and types of watches on the market for men. This means that a suitable alternative is available for every individual, personality, outfit and taste. Whether you are looking for a cool and robust watch, or for example a stylish classic watch, there is always a wide range to choose from.

When a watch is used as an accessory, the look and design of the watch may be the most important. For example, watches are regularly worn on specific occasions, such as an job application or business meeting. At such a moment you want to radiate self-assurance and skill. The right outfit with the perfect watch can help you with this. But even if you are on a date, a good watch can be just the thing that completes the whole picture in terms of your look. Self-assurance and expression of taste also play a role in this. You not only have the choice of different colors of watches, the use of materials can also give a watch a completely different look. Where you can create a more classic look with a leather watch strap, a stainless steel watch strap gives the watch a more rugged look.

If you are not only looking for the right watch that matches your outfit, but are also interested in how the clock works, an automatic watch with a see-through bottom is a suitable alternative for you. This gives you a nice accessory and at the same time a gadget where you can not only consult the time and possibly date, but also view the fascinating operation of the clock up close. There are also watches available that keep track of the moon phase for the real enthusiast. A GMT function, chronograph function and luminous indicators are also possible.

For occasions other than those mentioned above, you may not just be looking for a design with a matching look. You may then place even more demands on the specific watch as an accessory. Consider, for example, when you exercise or when you go on vacation. The watch will then have to be able to take a beating. And a diving watch must of course be waterproof. A stopwatch function is also indispensable for a sports watch. In addition, a sporty and robust look will probably fit better here than a classic one. This may mean that you choose a watch with brighter colors and a more robust watch case.

Because a watch is not only sensitive to taste, but also radiates a certain style and in certain situations the functionalities are of great importance (think of sports watches), there are many men who own more than a single watch. This makes it possible to wear a suitable watch for every situation, occasion and outfit. This way you can make the men's watch your ultimate accessory at any time of the day, whatever you are doing.

Do you want to complete your outfit or are you looking for a watch with specific functionalities for sports, for example? In our webshop you will find a very wide choice of men's watches in different colors and styles and from different brands. With the extensive filter system you can easily indicate your wishes and requirements in terms of brand, material, type and functionalities, among other things. This way you can easily find the perfect watch for you!

Swiss Kubik watch winders are known for their reliability and performance. The watch winders are designed and produced entirely by hand in Switzerland.

Each Swiss Kubik watch winder is assembled by hand and all suppliers are located no more than 50 km from the factory.

Swiss Kubik is completely in line with the Swiss spirit. This can best be described as respect for tradition and an enormous capacity for innovation. The owner of a Swiss Kubik watch winder can rest assured that he/she owns a quality object for perfect winding of an automatic watch.

Advantages of a Swiss Kubik watch winder

The Swiss Kubik watch winders rotate 1,900 revolutions per day. 950 revolutions in each direction, in both directions. This number corresponds to most automatic watches on the market. Of course you can set the watch winder yourself via bluetooth. This makes you extremely flexible with a Swiss Kubik watch winder and you can wind any watch to your liking.

Thanks to the Swiss made motors, the Swiss Kubik watch winders are completely autonomous for three years. Two simple 1.5 volt alkaline batteries are sufficient to function for this period. The collection consists of two series; the Startbox models as entry-level watch winders and the more luxurious Masterbox watch winders. The latter series of watch winders can also be connected to mains power.

The watch holders that you click into the watch winder are available in two sizes - normal and small. This means that large, normal and small watches fit in the Swiss Kubik watch winder. Nice detail is that each watch automatically positions itself vertically when the watch winder is paused.

Startbox versus Masterbox

The Swiss Kubik collection has two series, the Startbox and Masterbox models. The Swiss Kubik Startbox watch winders can best be described as entry-level models that do have Swiss technology but are otherwise simple and functional. These models are made of plastic and do not offer luxury such as a protection glass for the watch. This option is available with the Masterbox models. The Startbox models are suitable for winding one automatic watch, while the Masterbox models are suitable for winding 1 to 8 automatic watches. Do you have several automatic watches that you want to wind? Then you automatically end up with the Masterbox series. You can of course also buy several Startbox models. Then you can also spread the watch winders over your living room, bedroom, safe or office.

The watch winders of the Swiss Kubik Startbox collection use fresh colors and modern, refined lines. Simplified to the extreme, these watch winders bring together the essential elements of excitement. Their soft touch surface makes them feel incredibly soft. The Startbox watch winders are very competitively priced and a great watch winder for someone who has one or two automatic watches and wants a simple but good watch winder.

In the Masterbox collection you will find all the leading watch winders that have earned Swiss Kubik its international reputation. They consist of a basic module incorporating the best Swiss technology. and can be endlessly customized with an exterior of the finest material: wood, leather, aluminum, carbon fiber, etc. The complete Swiss Kubik Masterbox watch winder is Swiss made but also made by hand. The Swiss Kubik Masterbox watch winders offer more luxury and a beautiful appearance. Optionally, a plexiglass is also available to protect the watches. The Masterbox models are compact and beautifully finished.

The Startbox watch winders are a bit cheaper than the Masterbox models, but you buy with both absolute Swiss top quality. Both models always come with a 3-year warranty.

The modern man generally takes great care of his appearance. This includes a carefully chosen outfit, supplemented with accessories. An important part of that outfit and accessories can be a men's watch. A good watch can make or break an outfit and it is often used as a style object and an expression of personal taste. Because you wear different outfits in different situations (think sports or a job interview), men who see a watch as part of their outfit generally have more than one watch.

In addition, there are of course the real watch enthusiasts and/or collectors. Those who fall into these groups will also have multiple watches. Now, as a true watch enthusiast, you naturally want to use your watches for as long as possible. In addition, it is nice to store your watches in such a way that it is a pleasure to look at them.

An ultimate accessory that can help you store your watches safely and of course stylishly is the watch box. Why is the watch box the ideal accessory for your watches? A good watch box ensures that your watches can be stored safely. This means that the watches are protected against drops, bumps and damage. You also want to keep dirt, dust and condensation out for optimal preservation of your watches. And children's hands are also not desirable if you want to keep your watches safe and beautiful. A watch box is the ideal solution.

In addition, a watch box offers you the possibility to keep all the watches you own together in a stylish way. You have such a nice overview of your watches and it will certainly increase the pleasure when you look at your watches.

As lovers of beautiful watches, we see many beautiful watch brands and models passing by every day. Brands that are known, but certainly also watch brands that are less known. We mainly look at the technology, the design, the appearance and the price. This whole must be in balance. The technology is especially important to us because it largely determines the quality, functionality and price. Design is of course also important, but also depends on taste and personal preference. What we like, our customer may find ugly, and the other way around.

Automatic, mechanical and quartz watches

You can divide watches into roughly three groups; watches with a quartz movement, with a mechanical movement and with an automatic movement. In terms of technology, we are a special fan of mechanical and automatic watches. Where quartz watches are equipped with a battery, a mechanical movement has a winding movement. By turning the crown you wind the movement so that it starts to run. You have to do this about every 30-40 hours or else the watch will stop. It is one of the purest forms of watch technology, and perhaps the purest.

An automatic watch needs movement to function. By wearing the watch, the rotor of the movement moves, which tensions a spring. When the spring then relaxes, the movement will run. You can also provide an automatic watch with energy by turning the crown. An automatic watch can therefore obtain energy in two ways, causing it to run, a mechanical watch only one way.

Most major brands such as IWC, Breitling, Rolex, Tag Heuer, Omega etc etc mostly make automatic watches. This is because the automatic technique is a pure form and it is easier to use than a mechanical watch. It winds itself up when used. If you have several automatic watches, of which you only wear one or a few, you can of course use a watch winder to wind the other watches and always have it ready to wear. A watch winder simulates wrist movement, which keeps the watch running. Handy and fun to watch!

The advantages of automatic watches

Automatic watches have a great appeal for watch enthusiasts. As described, the automatic technique is one of the purest forms and is also many decades old. In addition, it is of course a beautiful form of technology given the many parts of the movement that all have to work together perfectly to lead to a good time display.

The technique is an important advantage. In addition, the fact that you never have to use a battery is an advantage. The movement winds itself with sufficient movement, making a battery unnecessary. So you never have to install a new battery. As a result, the watch does not have to be opened to insert a new battery, whereby the watch loses its water resistance. When the battery of a quartz watch is empty, a new battery must be in the watch, after which the water resistance must be carefully checked. After the battery change, the watch must be properly waterproofed again. This is something many people forget and can cause problems when you automatically assume that the watch is waterproof. With an automatic watch, the case hardly ever needs to be opened, so that the water resistance remains intact. Naturally, the case must be opened every few years when maintenance is carried out.

Another great advantage of automatic watches is the exclusivity and originality. With an automatic watch, from Epos, for example, you have something special on your wrist. Most major watch brands are known and become big for their fantastic automatic watches. Brands such as Tag Heuer and Maurice Lacroix have a wonderful history and tradition in the field of automatic watches. A less known watch brand such as Iron Annie also produces very nice watches with very attractive prices. You can already buy an automatic Iron Annie watch from EUR 479.00.

The disadvantages of automatic watches

Automatic watches have many advantages, but do they also have disadvantages? The answer is yes. A disadvantage is the sensitive technology. An automatic movement consists of many parts. If one or more parts do not function properly, the movement will no longer run properly. This usually occurs when the watch has been hit, bumped or dropped. In this case, the watch may stop running or show an abnormality in the time display. In the latter case, the movement must be readjusted.

Because of the more vulnerable technology, maintenance, service or repair is often also expensive. When purchasing an automatic watch, also take into account higher maintenance costs. On the other hand, you save the costs of replacing the battery and making the watch waterproof again.

One of the biggest drawbacks of automatic watches is that they are almost always more expensive than quartz watches. The main reason is the difference in technology. An automatic movement is much more complicated and more expensive than a quartz movement. This is directly reflected in the price of the watch. Is an automatic watch always more expensive? No, there are also many watch brands that produce excellent automatic watches for attractive prices. For example, the Meccaniche Veneziane watches are highly recommended. This Italian brand offers excellent quality and beautiful designs for very competitive prices. In this way, an automatic watch is affordable for a large group of watch enthusiasts.

What makes an automatic watch so much fun?

A watch enthusiast will certainly have one or more automatic watches in his or her watch collection. The appeal of this type of watches is great because of the advantages mentioned above. In addition, the exclusivity and originality that many brands offer ensures watches that are very popular. Just think of the popular Tag Heuer Carrera watches. These watches are timeless, in the best sense of the word, and retain their authentic design and design. This makes the Carrera watches from Tag Heuer an icon.
Watch enthusiasts are often also interested in cars, motorcycles, boats and airplanes. They are interested in the technology inside the automatic watch. We like automatic watches so much because they are a perfect combination of interesting technology that is actually very old, but is still the benchmark today.

Often watch brands that produce automatic watches are also more interesting in terms of tradition and history. Just think of Breitling watches. This Swiss brand has a wonderful history and produces very high-quality watches that will last generation after generation.
If you have several automatic watches, it is best to wind them in a watch winder. The revolving watches in beautiful watch winders, from Paul Design or Benson, for example, is a beautiful sight. Today's watch winders are real eye catchers and interior pieces that also wind all automatic watches so that they are immediately ready to wear. As a watch enthusiast, you should definitely take a look at a watch winder, if you are not already using one.

Our favorite automatic watches

There are of course many beautiful watch brands that make automatic watches. But if we have to pick a few personal favorites, it is the automatic watches from Epos, Meccaniche Veneziane, Iron Annie and Tag Heuer. All these brands have different designs and prices. Tag Heuer is a prestigious brand from Switzerland, just like Epos. Iron Annie watches are made in Germany and are very affordable. Meccaniche Veneziane is in between in terms of price. These watches have a clear Italian origin.

The nice thing about these watch brands is that they all produce automatic watches in their own way. One brand with Swiss movements, the other with Japanese movements. We do not have to explain the appearance and class of Tag Heuer to a watch enthusiast. Epos is a Swiss watch brand that produces sporty and classic watches with Swiss timepieces, so you are assured of quality. The nice thing about an Epos watch is the attractive price. For a Swiss made watch from Epos you can already succeed from 1000 euros.

The German Iron Annie produces more classic watches with a Japanese automatic movement. The emphasis is on a nostalgic look and affordable price. Meccaniche Veneziane has quite modern and sporty watches in its collection. With prices from 495 euros, this Italian brand is a very good choice if you want to wear a quality watch for a competitive price.

Conclusion

If you love watches, you have certainly considered buying an automatic watch. You may have one or more automatic watches in your possession. The choice for an automatic watch is actually very logical. The advantages of automatic watches certainly outweigh the disadvantages. With such a watch you wear a piece of pure technology and originality on your wrist. In addition, you can choose from many different brands, for example from Switzerland, Germany or Italy, which manufacture beautiful watches. But good watches are also made in other countries.

In terms of budget, there is also a lot of choice. It starts at around 300 euros for a good automatic watch. But you can also look at a Tag Heuer Carrera watch that costs a few thousand euros. There is a lot of choice in between. In any case, always choose a brand that uses a Swiss or Japanese automatic movement in its watches. These have proved to be of excellent quality and very reliable. Avoid a watch with a Chinese movement… Better pay a little more for good quality, because a defective automatic watch is of no use. This only results in more costs!

After wearing an automatic watch, you probably don't want anything else. If you become as much a fan of automatic watches as we do, make sure you already have some savings. Because the more you pay attention, the more fantastic automatic watches you will see! An addiction is then born :)

For anyone who understands quality watches, it is no secret that Switzerland is known as the watch country pur sang. Swiss made watches stand for quality, reliability, solidity and durability. Switzerland is home to a large number of watchmakers and brands with an understanding of their business and a passion for the trade. In general, quality, innovation and the use of high-quality materials are paramount for these brands. A watch brand may only bear the Swiss made label if it meets high requirements and conditions. You know in advance when you buy a Swiss made watch that you choose quality. Watches from Switzerland are often a bit more expensive due to the origin and the quality, with such a product you get absolute value for money.

A Swiss watch is provided with a good movement, which can be seen as the heart of the watch. After all, this ensures that you are provided with an accurate time display and that your watch continues to run correctly. Beautiful well-known brands from Switzerland include Breitling, Rolex, Omega and Tag Heuer, but also brands such as Fortis and Cornavin are of Swiss origin. These brands aim for nothing but perfection and that is what you can expect from a Swiss made watch. As required, the timepieces of Swiss made watches are of Swiss origin and are also built into the watch case here. It is also an obligation for a Swiss made watch that the last inspections have been carried out in Switzerland and in addition at least 60% of the development costs must be made in Switzerland.

Besides the extremely high quality, there are of course more reasons why you would choose a Swiss watch. For the real collector, for example, the collection is of course not complete without a real Swiss watch. A piece of status can also play a role in this. With a real Swiss made watch on your wrist you show that you have taste. A Swiss watch is not only of high quality, but a lot of attention is also paid to a piece of aesthetics. A Swiss design is therefore stylish and elegant, whether it is modern or classically designed. Various Swiss brands offer both cool and sporty models in the collection as well as more classic designs. Consider, for example, the Fortis brand. A brand like Escada has stylish and classy ladies watches in its collection that are a real eye-catcher. A Swiss watch is timeless and will therefore not just go out of fashion. There is a suitable Swiss watch for every personality and taste, to match almost any outfit.

For the sports enthusiast among us, it is certainly worthwhile to delve into the Swiss watch. Because real sports watches are also well represented within this segment. Consider, for example, good diving watches. Brands such as Fortis and Davosa offer very good Swiss made diving watches for the real enthusiast. Swiss brands also offer very beautiful pieces with regard to the pilot's watch, often with a hint of history and nostalgia. The true pilot's watch enthusiast will certainly find his favorite watch among these, because we also see a diversity in appearance and design in this specific area.

In short, you choose a Swiss or Swiss made watch if you go for quality and are willing to invest in a sustainable watch because you want to enjoy it for a long time. In addition, it is actually a must for the true enthusiast and/or collector of watches to be able to wear a real Swiss watch. Whatever reason is decisive for you, a Swiss made watch is an exceptional piece that you will enjoy for a long time and that you can wear with pride every day. And for a sporty purpose, you are certainly at the right place at the Swiss branch of watchmaking. In fact, the question is not why you would choose a Swiss watch, but rather, why not? There is quality, and so is the diversity in appearance. Regarding the price, we also see clear differences per brand and it is therefore already possible to become the owner of a Swiss made watch for a reasonable price.
