The charm of classic watches

Posted on 16 November 2018 at 9:03 AM

The classic watch is one that can not be ignored within the world of watches. Despite the fact that watches are subject to fashion and trends, the classic watch continues to occupy an important place in the collections of classic watch brands such as Schaumburg, Ingersoll, Van Speyk and Elysee. The classic watch is timeless, stylish and in particular has a modest character. The dials are often solid black, white or cream coloured. The watch cases are relatively small to average (38-42 mm). The brands that carry classic watches in their assortment are generally brands with a lot of history and mostly family businesses.

A classic watch is available in different styles and the various watch brands give it their own style. Nevertheless, we can say that most classic watches have a clean and simple appearance. In general, a classic watch has a leather watch strap in the colors brown or black. In addition, the most classic watches are equipped with an automatic or mechanical movement. After all, watches were initially equipped with a mechanical movement that had to be wound up. A quartz watch did not exist at all and only became known and popular in the '60's. The dial and the functions of the watch are very important for a classic watch. Less is more we could say. The dial must not be too complicated, simplicity is the code word.
