It is no secret that Switzerland is seen as the watch country pur sang. Swiss made watches and its timepieces are known for their reliability, durability and quality. The love for the operation of the clock and the profession of the watchmaker has been raised by the Swiss watchmaker. There is a wide choice in the field of Swiss made watches. The quality of a Swiss made watch is therefore very good and in terms of design there is a lot to choose. Do you go for a classic or sporty watch? Tough or stylish? The choice is yours! And then the price. You generally pay for quality. Yet there is also a certain price difference between the various brands. What are the best affordable Swiss made watches?

A good example is the Italian brand Meccaniche Veneziane. Watches made with an absolute love for the profession. Meccaniche Veneziane may be an Italian brand, the watches are fitted with Swiss timepieces. The heart of the watch is therefore Swiss made. The watches are assembled in Venice and radiate the authentic Italian class. Meccaniche Veneziane has a very nice range of affordable luxury watches. Each watch is manually inspected once it has been assembled. Everything must be right. In terms of technology, appearance and use of materials, the brand strives for the best. The leather used for the Meccaniche Veneziane watches comes from Veneto and Tuscany. Even the luxury watch boxes in which each watch is delivered are made by hand by a professional. These boxes are made by a traditional woodworking company in Friuli. The total picture of the Meccaniche Veneziane products is therefore a combination of handicraft, quality, local craftsmanship and a high-quality heart from Switzerland.

Characteristic of the watches of Meccaniche Veneziane is the lively use of color and variety of watches. The appearance of the watches is generally tough and sporty. But also for more more classic models, space has been created in the Meccaniche Veneziane collection. It will not be difficult to find an eye-catcher within this stylish collection that suits you.

The German brand Fortis also provides its watches with Swiss timepieces. Like Meccaniche Veneziane, Fortis is very affordable and at the same time delivers a nice combination of good German and Swiss quality. The quality is even so high that a joint venture has been established between Fortis and Russian Cosmonauts for the Fortis official "Cosmonauts" series from Fortis. This series of watches are actually used in space by the Russian Cosmonauts, which means that these watches must literally be able to perform under high pressure. We also find "Marinemaster" watches in the Fortis collection. These are real high-quality diving watches. They are water resistant to 200 meters and equipped with extremely strong sapphire glass. In addition, just like the watches in the "Cosmonauts" series, they are equipped with Superluminova, which lights up in the dark.

In the collection of Fortis we see modern designs, with both a sporty and cool look and a more classic look. There are watches with a stainless steel strap, but also watches with a beautiful classic leather strap. With this wide and varied offer at a great price, Fortis is accessible to a wide audience.

Although these two brands originate outside of Switzerland, the watches from both Fortis and Meccaniche Veneziane are therefore fitted with a Swiss-made timepiece. This in combination with the strong characteristics of both brands is a very nice choice for every watch lover! And that for a competitive price.

There are many fans of automatic and mechanical watches. The operation of the movement, the old-fashioned craftsmanship of the watchmaker and the special technique attract many watch lovers. Of course these automatic and mechanical watches definitely have their authentic charm, but the quartz watch also has its advantages. In this blog we write about the benefits of a quartz watch.

A quartz watch is a watch that works on a battery. This makes a quartz watch, for example, much less sensitive than an automatic or mechanical watch. These can be disrupted by shocks, a quartz watch is much less sensitive to bumps, bangs and falls than an automatic or mechanical watch. In addition, watches with an automatic or mechanical movement must be provided with the required specific movement. This is done by the natural movement of the wrist, the winding of the crown or by the use of a watch winder with an automatic watch. If this does not happen and the watch comes to a standstill, it may cause inaccuracies in the time/date display. You don't have this problem with a quartz watch. This watch simply works on a battery, so when it is empty it simply needs to be replaced. A watch that is equipped with quartz technology is therefore very reliable. It is a solid technology that ensures a very reliable time measurement. An additional advantage is that watches with a quartz movement are very affordable and therefore accessible to a wide audience. Automatic and mechanical watches are generally more expensive due to the technology.

Anyone who thinks that there are few quartz watches among the interesting watch brands is wrong. Beautiful brands such as Junkers, Cornavin and Eone Time produce beautiful quartz watches with a story. For example, the Junkers brand houses stylish watches with a link to the engineer and aircraft pioneer Hugo Junkers and his aircraft of the past. The brand offers a wide selection of watches with both automatic, mechanical and quartz timepieces. Eone Time manufactures special quartz watches suitable for people with a visual impairment, but also for the watch enthusiast with good eyesight. This is made possible by the unique design of the watches. In its collection, Cornavin offers both cool, sporty and classic designs and wants to offer every watch enthusiast an alternative. In addition, this brand goes for nothing but perfection and innovation and development is number 1. All three of these watch brands deliver nothing but high quality and stylish designs. So definitely worth seeing, especially if you like convenience as well as wearing a nice watch.

Are you looking for an affordable watch with reliable technology? Then a quartz watch is the best choice for you.

Watches are increasingly seen as jewelery and accessory, while watches used to be instruments for determining the exact time and date. Of course, contemporary watches show the time, but the shape, style and design are equally important and perhaps more important. Simply because you can see the time everywhere, in the car, in the office, on your phone and on TV. Nevertheless, watches are still a perfect accessory for timekeeping. But there are big differences in time display. Seeing the time on a watch quickly and easily is important. What should you pay attention to when purchasing a watch that must have a clear time display?

First of all, we recommend looking at the size of the watch. It is of course more difficult to see on a small watch than on a larger watch. After all, with a larger watch (think 40mm case diameter and larger) the hands and the indexing are more visible. Good indexing naturally also helps. When the hour and minute display is clearly visible, this provides convenience in seeing the time quickly.

The design of the dial is also very important. A simple watch face without too many accents is easier to read than a busy watch face with all kinds of texts, symbols and dark colors. A good example of a watch that has a very clean face so that you can see the time easily and quickly is an Eone Time watch. This watch brand from the United States produces watches with a modern and simple design where you can see the current time, but more importantly, you can also feel it. This is ideal for people with reduced vision or who are even blind.

Use of color on the dial of a watch is another factor that determines whether a watch is easy to read. With much the same use of color of the dial and hands there is not enough contrast, so the hands fall away against the dial. It is then very difficult to see what time it is. That is why brands such as Davosa, Fortis and Meccaniche Veneziane always use contrasting colors for their dials and hands. This makes the hands and indexing stand out particularly well compared to the dial.

Good visibility of time in the dark is sometimes underestimated. Yet it is nice if you can also see the time when it is dark. For example if you are walking, driving a car or exercising. The better watches use SuperLuminova, a material with which the indexing and hands light up in the dark. This way you can also see the time when there is little light.

Some people like to wear an analog watch and others a digital watch. In terms of time display there is a difference. An analog watch displays the time via the hands and a digital watch via a digital display. A digital watch is actually a watch with a piece of electronics. One would rather look at hands to read the time, the other at a digital display. What exactly is clearer? That varies per user. But perhaps a digital watch offers just a little more precision.

The famous watch brand Rolex has several watches with a date magnifier so that the date display is magnified and extra good to read. This is a handy feature if you want to see the date quickly. The date magnifier is a characteristic of the watch brand Rolex that has become very famous and is highly appreciated by the true Rolex enthusiasts.

Watches with a clear time display ensure that you can see the time quickly and easily. This is not only comfortable but also very useful for example if you want to consult the time quickly without losing focus on another task. For example, while driving, exercising or watching a movie. A clear time display is very important for the visually impaired. The Eone Time watch brand is actually the pur sang watch brand that specifically produces watches for this.
