Watches, the most popular accessories for men. Where ladies have a lot of choice in the field of all kinds of jewelry, there is really only one real piece of jewelry for men, a watch. Partly because of this, this accessory is so important and popular with men. Not only because of the interesting technique, but also because of the design, materials and colors. A watch is no longer just a time instrument, it is an accessory that shows your taste, where your interests lie and how much money you are willing to spend and can spend.

Watch brands such as Breitling, Rolex, IWC, Patek and Tag Heuer are known and famous worldwide. They are brands that have built their reputation and fame by combining impeccable quality with fantastic designs. Do not forget that these brands are quite old and have always managed to innovate, also during competition from Japanese brands, the introduction of mobile phones and later the smart watches. These watch brands are more than just a producer of beautiful watches, they create status symbols. A Rolex or Breitling watch has a certain appearance. They are very popular for a reason. We often hear stories of men who got their first job after college and after a while wanted to reward themselves by buying a nice watch. This watch symbolizes their development and is a reward for the path they have chosen. These watches are often followed by other watches, but the first one always remains special. It is preserved and even passed on to future generations. In this way a watch is much more than just a time instrument.

We naturally see a lot of watches around us, from different brands and in different price ranges. A beautiful Rolex watch is of course the pinnacle of technology and design, but we can also enjoy watches from other brands. Brands that are priced much lower but offer a lot of quality and fun as well. A good example is Epos. This Swiss watch brand offers a lot of quality at a very competitive price. The brand is relatively small and produces a small amount. This makes Epos watches an excellent choice for watch enthusiasts who want an excellent combination of quality and a competitive price.

We are regularly asked what the best watch is. We can't really answer that question because what the best watch is depends on many factors. Mainly from the question of what the best watch is for you. What is the best watch depends on what the person has as wishes and preferences. What is the best watch for me may not be the best watch for you. The question of what the best watch is, is actually impossible to answer. But we can help you by describing what is the best watch for you. The best watch may be a MeisterSinger watch for one person and a Rolex watch for another.

Movement type

First we need to explain the different techniques used in a watch. You have probably heard of a quartz watch. This is a watch that functions by means of a battery. If the battery is empty, replace the battery and the watch will function again for 2-3 years. The main advantages of a quartz watch are the reliability in terms of time measurement, price and shock resistance. Watches with a quartz movement are very accurate and display the time accurately to the second. Watches with a battery are also generally cheaper to buy. The technique is relatively simple and the timepieces are produced a lot, which means that the costs are low. Another advantage of a quartz watch is that they are not so sensitive to shocks and blows. The quartz movements are strong and durable and can take a beating. This combination of properties is decisive for many watch enthusiasts to wear a quartz watch.

Have you ever heard of an automatic watch? Perhaps you are thinking of a watch from an uncle or your grandfather. In the past there were no quartz watches and all watches were automatic or mechanical. An automatic watch obtains energy through movement, which is why a watch winder is also such a handy accessory for such a watch. Automatic watches are certainly not old-fashioned, because all high-end watch brands that are well known almost exclusively produce automatic watches. Good examples are Rolex, IWC, Breitling, Omega, Oris and Tag Heuer. An automatic watch has charm, because it has a beautiful but complex technique. The parts of the timepiece are perfectly matched so that the time is displayed, without battery! This also makes the technology vulnerable in some cases, for example if you bump or drop an automatic watch. Yet almost all watch enthusiasts have automatic watches in their collection. The charm, technique and beautiful appearance make this type of watch the most popular.

Another well-known technique used in watches is the mechanical technique. A mechanical watch has to be wound by hand by turning the crown. The timepiece does not receive energy from itself or from a battery. The timepiece is wound by turning the crown. This is actually the most ancient technique and used in the first wristwatches. Today, mechanical watches are still produced and sold, albeit to a much lesser extent than quartz and automatic watches. Yet watch lovers are extremely charmed by mechanical watches. It is one of the purest forms, and also a beautiful technique. The movement of a mechanical watch is made up of many parts that must work together to perfection in order to accurately display the time.

The shape of a watch

In addition to the technology inside the watch, the shape of the watch is also important. Most watches have an almost round watch case. This is the most common form. But there are also watches that have a different shape. For example, tonneau-shaped watches that have a more rectangular watch case. You see this, for example, with the Franck Muller brand. There are also square watches such as the Apple watch. Watches with a round case are the best known and most often worn. Simply because this shape best mimics the clock and can be worn very comfortably.

The shape of the watch is often determined by the design and background of the brand. In terms of shape, you can also think of the size of the watch. Well-known brands that produce oversized watches are, for example, RSC from Belgium and Lapizta from the US.

The wearing comfort of a watch is partly determined by the shape and weight of the watch. This is an important point to take with you when you want to buy a watch. 

Different types of watch straps

The watch strap connects the watch itself to the wrist. That is why the watch strap is a very important part of a watch. The watch strap is also important for wearing comfort. A good watch strap is made of durable material, fits nicely on the wrist and fits well with the watch in terms of appearance and color. The right watch strap makes the watch. On the other hand, a watch strap that does not fit well with the watch or does not fit well can be a big disadvantage. Before purchasing a watch, always determine which material and type of watch strap you prefer. One person likes a stainless steel bracelet, the other a beautiful leather strap. Of course there are also straps made of rubber and plastic.

Stainless steel watch bracelets have the property that they are durable and resistant to wear. A leather watch strap, on the other hand, is less durable in use and you will have to replace it every 1-2 years with daily use. In addition, a leather watch strap is less resistant to external influences such as water and perspiration. An important advantage of a good leather watch strap is the wearing comfort and the beautiful combination with the watch itself. In addition, this type of strap is often light and therefore the combination with the watch is not too heavy. This is a disadvantage of a stainless steel strap, the weight is higher, which can be at the expense of wearing comfort.

Whether you prefer a leather, rubber or stainless steel strap depends entirely on your preference. Most beautiful watches, for example from Locman, combine perfectly with a beautiful leather and stainless steel watch strap.

Materials of which a watch is made

We now zoom in on the watch itself, in particular the watch case and the glass. The timepiece is housed in the watch case and must therefore be well protected. Most watch cases are made of steel, and usually stainless steel. This material is hard, relatively cheap and durable. Yet there are also watches that have a watch case made of plastic, titanium or carbon fiber. We actually only see a plastic or plastic watch case with cheaper watches. We prefer to ignore this type of watch. However, titanium and carbon fiber are excellent materials with very positive properties to make a good watch case. Titanium has the advantages that it is extremely strong and light. A disadvantage is that it is more expensive than a stainless steel case. Carbon fiber is not used very much but has the advantage that it is very strong and modern. A major drawback is that it is significantly more expensive than stainless steel and titanium.

The glass of the watch is also placed in the watch case. There are various types of materials from which watch glass is made. Well-known are mineral glass, plexiglass and sapphire glass. Mineral glass is a great option if you are very careful with your watch and do not expect to make many scratches. Sapphire glass, on the other hand, is much more resistant to scratches because of its hardness. Sapphire glass is most commonly used in modern watches. Plexiglas has a more retro look and is very soft as a material. It is relatively cheap but is less resistant to external influences, which means that it can easily scratch or tear.

Our preference is sapphire glass. This glass is used, for example, in the watches of Glycine, Epos and Davosa. With this type of glass you don't have to worry about a lot of damage. This glass protects your watch very well, so that it still looks good even after years of use.

Watch design

In addition to the shape of a watch, the design is also an important part. The design largely determines the appearance. In terms of design, there is a choice of classic and modern watches, but also sporty or more modest watches. In terms of modest watches, you can think of Eone Time and Iron Annie, for example. These are watch brands with a calm appearance without much frills.

The design largely determines whether the watch appeals to you or not. Where one person likes to wear a classic watch, the other prefers a modern or sporty watch on his or her wrist. But you can also think of pilot watches, diving watches or digital watches. Each has its own design, depending on the brand and the history of the brand. A good example of a watch brand that has its own design is the German Laco. Laco watches are inspired by pilots and aviation. As a result, Laco has a very nice pilot's watch collection that is very appealing to watch enthusiasts. In addition, this brand has a special history.

A watch brand with a very special concept and design is Eone Time. This brand from the United States produces watches for the blind and partially sighted. The design allows visually impaired people to perceive time. By touching the dial, the wearer can immediately feel what the time is. The nice thing about Eone Time watches is that this has not been at the expense of the design. The Eone Time watches are beautiful and offer an extremely high wearing comfort due to the titanium watch cases. As a result, design is perfectly combined with functionality.

Are you an athlete yourself and do you like to wear a sporty watch, then there is a lot of choice. There are many watch brands that manufacture sporty watches. A sporty watch is mainly characterized by a modern design and durability. In terms of modern design, you can think of contemporary trendy shapes and colours. The durability is reflected in the solid materials such as stainless steel, rubber and sapphire glass. In addition, sporty watches are often equipped with extra functions such as a chronograph, stopwatch and tachymeter. Good water resistance is also important because sporty watches often have to endure more than normal watches. They must therefore not only be able to withstand a knock, they must also be resistant to influences such as water. For example, when you go cycling, rowing or walking, the watch must be able to withstand a good rain shower. A good example of a watch brand that makes sports watches of excellent quality is Davosa. Davosa watches are sporty, solid and offer features that you can use to exercise, swim or survive a weekend.

Classic watches have a more calm design and character. These watches are not intended for sports or to be exposed to extreme conditions. Classic watches are also sometimes called a "dress watch". You can wear this type of watch with a casual chic outfit or a bee suit. Classic watches often have a smaller watch case, of 38-40 mm. In addition, they have a quiet dial without all kinds of bells and whistles. The hands and perhaps a date function or moon phase are the most common in a classic watch. This type of watches usually comes with a nice leather watch strap. When we look in our collection brands such as MeisterSinger and Van Speyk are good examples of brands with beautiful classic watches.

What does a good watch cost?

It is a misconception that a good watch is very expensive. There are many watch brands that offer a beautiful and durable watch for a very interesting price. The trick is to search, compare and choose exactly the watch that appeals to you. We all know the high-end watch brands from Switzerland. For example, IWC, Breitling, Omega, Oris, Patek and Tag Heuer. Beautiful brands with an extensive history and a lot of experience in the production of high-end watches. With these brands you get a top watch, but you also pay a part for the name and appearance of the brand. This category of brands includes various watch brands that offer exactly the same in terms of quality, finish and functionality, but for a lower price. These brands may be less known and spend less money on marketing and expensive advertising campaigns, but they are an excellent choice for the watch enthusiast. As a rule, they offer an excellent price/quality ratio. A good example is Epos. This brand from Switzerland produces beautiful Swiss made watches of impeccable quality. Nevertheless, the prices of Epos watches are considerably lower than of the above-mentioned brands. Why? Epos is a relatively small brand and spends much less money on marketing. Other good examples of such watch brands are Davosa and Damasko. Both of these brands from Germany produce very good watches with excellent movements.

In principle, what you expect from a watch determines the amount you want and can spend for it. If you do not have too many requirements in terms of timepiece, brand, functionality and materials, you can buy a nice watch for relatively little money. If you have more wishes, you will notice that the price also increases. However, a good watch does not have to be expensive. Watch brands such as Iron Annie and Van Speyk have been proving this for years. If you want something special in terms of brand, materials and type of timepiece, this also has a price.

What should you pay attention to when buying a watch?

If you have determined yourself what your wishes are and what amount you want to spend on a watch, then there is really only one advice left; "buy the seller". With this term we want to say that it is important where you buy the watch. In other words, if you buy a watch from a good and reliable seller, you have more security than when you buy a watch on Marktplaats or the local market.

An official dealer is connected to the relevant watch brand and is supported by the brand. This has the advantage that you as a customer can also benefit from this support. This is especially nice in the event of a defect for which you claim warranty or in the event of a repair outside the warranty period that must be carried out. In addition, an official dealer can provide you with good advice. With knowledge and experience, he will advise you and present the options in terms of different watches, techniques, materials and price ranges.
Another piece of advice we want to give you is that cheap often leads to expensive purchases. Something that seems too good to be true often is. Always inform yourself well about a certain brand and the specific product. If you have any doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact the seller. Often you immediately notice the level of customer service. Ask the questions you find important and compare various websites and products. This way you come to a good decision with regard to the purchase of a good watch.

The most popular watch brand in the country is located on the Italian island of Elba. We are talking about the Locman watch brand. Locman offers watches of excellent quality with high technology, in combination with the well-known Italian class and style. Locman knows how to distinguish itself from other watch brands in various ways. The brand is known for the vibrant use of color in the designs of the watches.

The characteristic designs of the Italian brand are appealing and often function as a real eye-catcher.

There are models with watch straps made of rubber, leather and stainless steel. This means that the different watches immediately get a completely different look.

When you have discovered a watch brand that fits well with your personal preferences, you will of course be very excited when new models are added to the collection. This also applies to us as an official dealer of Locman. We are therefore very enthusiastic about the addition of several new Locman models to our range. These are new Locman Montecristo watches. Montecristo is the most popular design and can also be called the showpiece of Locman. We would like to make you as excited as we are about these brand new models from Locman. We will therefore take a closer look at 2 models of these Montecristo designs, to get an idea of ??what the new Locman models have to offer.

We start with the Locman Montecristo 41mm 0542A01S-00BKORSO watch. This is a very nice example of a watch with a colorful look. Both the rubber watch strap and the accents on the black dial are in the color orange and therefore very striking. The watch case is made of a combination of stainless steel and titanium and has a diameter of 41 mm and thickness of 14 mm. This watch has a quartz movement and is water resistant to 100 meters. By using sapphire glass, you don't have to worry about scratches or other damage. This watch closes with a folding clasp. Also technically this is a nice complete watch. This model offers a seconds hand and a date display, but you also have luminous indicators and a chronograph function at your disposal.

A second model that we would like to explain is the Locman Montecristo Carbon 0544C09S-CBCBWHSB watch. This watch is also made in a striking color, namely clear blue. We see this color reflected in the watch strap and as an accent on the dial. The watch strap is made of rubber and closes with a folding clasp. Furthermore, the watch case is made of carbon fiber, which makes the case extremely sturdy. This case has a diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 14mm. With a high-quality automatic movement and a water resistance of 100 meters, this watch is suitable for intensive use. This watch also uses strong sapphire glass.

A watch winder is the most commonly used watch accessory for automatic watches. It ensures that the watches are optimally supplied with energy and therefore keep running on time. A stationary automatic watch is a thing of the past with a watch winder. This watch accessory gently rotates the watches, tensioning the spring in the movement. This keeps the watch running and therefore it's immediately ready to wear. So you never have to wind the watch and reset the time and date again. Handy, but also good for preserving your automatic watches.

In this article we write about the watch winder for 1 watch. This type of watch winder is often compact and has one motor that drives the rotor on which the watch is attached. Watch winders for 1 watch are often relatively small and compact. Usually they are purely focused on accomplishing their task, winding 1 automatic watch, and offer little extra luxury and functions. With watch winders that are suitable for winding multiple watches, you often see that they have extra storage space, LED lighting or a door. A watch winder that is suitable for winding 1 automatic watch often does not have these properties. However, this does not mean that they wind automatic watches less well. On the contrary, they do exactly what they are intended to do.

There is a lot of choice in the field of watch winders for 1 watch. Well-known brands that every watch lover knows are Swiss Kubik, Benson and Bernard Favre. But RDI from Switzerland and Chronovision from Germany also make excellent watch winders with which you can wind one automatic watch. It is important that you choose a make and model that uses a solid motor. This motor forms the basis of the device. If you want to wind larger and heavier watches, the choice for a Japanese, German or Swiss motor is definitely recommended.

If you are looking for a watch winder for 1 watch under 200 euro (incl. VAT), we have a few interesting models for you. The Benson Compact 1.17. Black Leather watch winder is a good example. This model is compact, black in color and covered with beautiful leather. You can set this model via the LCD screen on the back so that you can select the direction of rotation and the number of revolutions per day. The watch holder is flexible and suitable for any common watch. Actually, the above properties also apply to the Benson Compact Single 1.WAS watch winder. Only this model is made of walnut wood and has a beautiful chrome ring around the rotor for an extra luxurious look. If you want a sportier model with a carbon fiber look, then you should go for the Benson Compact 1.17. Carbon Fiber watch winder. This watch winder offers everything you need to provide an automatic watch with perfect energy.

If you have a little more to spend and would like to buy a watch winder with a German motor, Chronovision watch winders are a good choice. This brand starts from 479 euro (incl. VAT). These models that are suitable for winding 1 watch are made in Germany and have a strong motor. Another nice advantage is that each model is equipped with Bluetooth technology, so you can set the watch winder via an app via the bluetooth connection of your mobile phone.

Yet a watch winder for 1 watch is very handy and functional. You can place them almost anywhere, they are easy to use and very affordable. If you have an automatic watch, you will recognize the discomfort when the watch is empty and stationary. As an enthusiast you want to prevent this, but also to save time and effort.

As an official dealer of many different watch brands, there are always a few brands that we find particularly fun and interesting. For example, a watch brand that has its own original style in terms of design or a brand that appeals to you because of sublime quality. There are also watch brands that have both these elements. Iron Annie is one such brand. In this article we write about this German watch brand that is relatively young but is rapidly becoming one of the most popular brands in Germany. But the Iron Annie watches are not only a success in Germany, also here in the Netherlands we notice a lot of enthusiasm from buyers who have bought a copy of this brand.

For real quality in the field of watches, you will find a lot of appealing watch brands not only in Switzerland, but also in Germany. The German products are known for their reliability, robustness and solidity. The same goes for the watches of the German watch brand Iron Annie. In addition to quality, Iron Annie also offers diversity in its collection. Moreover, the brand is known for the excellent price/quality ratio that they know how to deliver. With a watch from Iron Annie you choose affordable quality.

Iron Annie is still a relatively young brand and falls under the company Pointtec, just like the well-known brands Junkers and Zeppelin. Despite the fact that Iron Annie has not been around for very long, the brand still offers a piece of history and nostalgia. This is because with Iron Annie's watches you are transported back to the times of yore regarding aviation history. The name Iron Annie also refers to the JU52 aircraft with registration D-AQUI, these aircraft were named Iron Annie by the Americans at the time. Iron Annie offers the same quality and robustness with its watches as these aircraft were known for at the time.

The Iron Annie watch collection consists of different series of watches. There is a series that jumps out of this, namely the Iron Annie Bauhaus series. For this series of watches, Iron Annie was inspired by the Bauhaus art movement. Characteristic of this movement is minimalism and modest designs. This is clearly reflected in the watches in the Bauhaus series by Iron Annie. Of course we also see the quality and perfect finish in the Bauhaus watches, which Iron Annie is known for. The Iron Annie watches from the Bauhaus series are also handmade in Germany, by watch technicians who know their profession. This series not only offers diversity in terms of appearance, but also when we look at the type of timepiece, Iron Annie offers watches for every personal preference. In the Bauhaus series we find watches with mechanical, quartz and automatic movements. Every Iron Annie Bauhaus watch is also available with a particularly beautiful leather or Milanese stainless steel watch strap.

A special model from the Bauhaus series is the Iron Annie Bauhaus 5066-1 watch. This watch clearly shows the modest character of the Bauhaus influence. The dial is white in color and looks calm. When a leather strap is chosen, this watch comes with a black strap. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters and closes with a buckle. The watch case is made of stainless steel and has a diameter of 41 mm. Furthermore, the choice has been made to use K1 mineral glass and this watch is equipped with an automatic movement from Miyota. Also worth mentioning is the glass bottom that this watch has. This allows the real watch enthusiast to see his watch at work. This model also has various additional functionalities, such as a second hand, date display and luminous indicators. In addition, the watch also has a power reserve indicator.

A second Bauhaus model that is definitely worth a look is the Iron Annie Bauhaus 5056-1 watch. This watch also has that minimalist look. The watch is further characterized by a classic and stylish design, with a clear white dial. If you opt for a leather watch strap, it is made in the color black. The Iron Annie Bauhaus 5056-1 is furthermore waterproof up to 50 meters and closes with a thorn closure. The watch case of this watch is made of stainless steel and has a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 11 mm. This watch is also equipped with an automatic movement, but in this case from the Swiss brand ETA. The extra functionalities that this watch has are a second hand, date display and luminous indicators.

Every lover of special watches is of course careful with his or her collection. It is therefore important to choose a good place where you can store your watches neatly, but above all safely. If you have automatic watches in your possession, you can store your watches in a good watch winder, which immediately provides for the energy needs of your watches. If this is not necessary, however, you prefer to keep your pride together in a safe and well-arranged place. Ideally, you should use a nice watch box for this.

A good watch box is sturdy and offers protection, but the design and looks are important as well. For many enthusiasts and/or collectors, a beautiful watch is not just a tool or piece of jewelry. A special watch is often also a kind of status symbol or collector's item. It is therefore very logical that someone with a passion for beautiful watches also places high demands on a watch box. The preference is often for a watch box that is not only safe, but also has a stylish and luxurious appearance. Watch boxes are available in different price ranges and with various capacities. For example, there are watch boxes on the market with space for storing a few watches, but also watch boxes that are suitable for the real collector, with a large capacity. For example, consider a watch box for 8, 12 or 16 watches.

When you are looking for a suitable watch box, it is worth taking a look at the collection of the Benson brand. Benson is a quality brand from Dutch soil that manufactures both high-quality watch winders and high-quality watch boxes in-house. This means that the brand offers absolute quality and is right on top of it. In addition, Benson is able to market both the watch winders and the watch boxes in this way at an attractive price. When you look at the Benson collection, it becomes clear that a quality watch box with a stylish appearance doesn't have to be expensive. The Benson watch boxes exude a certain class, so that your watches look extra nice. But more importantly, be safe in the watch box.

In the collection of the Benson watch boxes we find the Benson Black Series watch boxes. These different watch boxes serve enthusiasts with a diverse personal taste and/or preference. The Black Series offer very luxurious watch boxes and there is a choice of watch boxes suitable for 3, 8 or 12 watches. For example, as an enthusiast with a few watches as well as a true collector, you can go for a watch box within the Benson collection. The watch boxes within the Black Series have a very luxurious appearance and are made of particularly beautiful leather and available in the colors black, dark brown, blue and carbon fiber. The plain leather is alternated with a processed pattern that gives a playful effect and emphasizes the chic character of the watch boxes. What is also striking about the watch boxes within the Black series is, among other things, the beautiful finish. This is reflected in the fine stitching and the logo printed in the leather.

The luxury watch boxes within the Black Series have a black soft fabric on the inside for optimal protection against damage such as small scratches. With a watch box from the Benson collection, you can be sure that you can always store your watches safely. The watch boxes are designed in such a way that they are also suitable for oversized watches, which means that they are suitable for every enthusiast and collector. In addition, you can close the watch boxes with the existing lock. In short, everything has been thought of when designing these beautiful series of watch boxes.

If you are a lover of Rolex watches we have something interesting for you. If this is completely your cup of tea, but you have a smaller budget, we have a very nice alternative. We are talking about the new watch brand Mare Unlimited. If you are looking for a watch of high quality for a competitive price, then you have come to the right place at Mare Unlimited. The appearance of the Mare Unlimited watches can best be described as stylish and sporty. The Rolex look is clearly visible here. Not only in terms of design, but also in terms of quality and technology, Mare Unlimited has plenty to offer. The price/quality ratio of these watches is therefore very good. Let's take a closer look at the watches of this brand.

The watches from Mare Unlimited are equipped with a Swiss made quartz movement from the Ronda brand. With a watch with a Swiss heart you know that you are buying pure quality. After all, Switzerland is the watchmaking country pur sang. The Mare Unlimited watch cases have a diameter of 40 mm. This makes the models from Mare Unlimited very comfortable to wear. In addition, the watches are lightweight, which also benefits comfort. Moreover, this brand offers wonderful extra functionalities with every model. We are talking about SuperLuminova, a rotating bezel and a screw-down crown. With each individual watch from Mare Unlimited you therefore have a very complete watch, of very high quality for a very attractive price.

The modern models in the Mare Unlimited collection are equipped with quartz movements. These have the advantage over, for example, automatic timepieces that they display the time more accurately and are more resistant to shocks and impacts. What is also striking is the good water resistance of the watches and the use of rubber watch straps. These features, among other things, make the Mare Unlimited watches very suitable for the sporty man.

The Greenwich models from Mare Unlimited are also equipped with black rubber watch straps. In combination with the slightly continuous stainless steel case, this gives the watches a luxurious look. The dials of these watches are black with white accents. In addition, most Mare Unlimited watches use one or more accent colors, for example at the bezel. Then think of blue, red, green or gold. For a sporty watch like this, the water resistance of the watches up to 100 meters in combination with a rotating bezel and screw-down crown is an absolute plus. The rubber watch strap is also of added value here, because it is very strong and light. This is of course important when you buy a sporty watch. Furthermore, only high-quality materials have of course been chosen. The sapphire glass, for example, is extremely strong, so that any scratches will hardly be visible. The stainless steel case is also very durable and strong.

We have just mentioned a number of extra functionalities that all Mare Unlimited watches meet. However, the Greenwich models from Mare Unlimited have even more to offer. They have a second hand, date display and luminous indicators. With the GMT function it is also possible to set a second time. This is of course ideal if you travel a lot and very handy on vacation. These beautiful Greenwich watches can be closed with a beautiful buckle.

With a watch from Mare Unlimited you not only have quality on your wrist, but also an absolute eye-catcher. Who is not charmed by the well-known Rolex look? A Mare Unlimited watch is highly recommended for every man who gets warm from a sporty watch that is stylish and at the same time exudes a certain class.

Italian watches are still very popular and trendy! Watches from Italy always have beautiful designs and are stylish. A good example of a watch brand from Italy is Locman. This brand has been producing very good quality watches for several decades. Watch enthusiasts who have ever been to Italy are certainly familiar with the brand. Locman watches are distinguished by their contemporary designs, sporty appearance and colorful accents on the dials and watch straps.

What makes a Locman watch so much fun and interesting? Let's take a closer look at this Italian watch brand.

Technology, innovation, Italian design and passion are the values ??on which Locman's identity is based. The concept of luxury conveyed by the brand's watches is affordable and suitable for any watch enthusiast.

Locman watches are made on the island of Elba, just meters from the sea, which is an inspiration for the brand. Locman, as a Tuscan brand, took the decision to emphasize its origins and create a 100% Italian watch brand that stands out in an international market dominated by major Swiss watch brands. With this in mind, certain strategic alliances have been formed, such as the collaboration with Ducati to create watch collections for fans of motorcycling and Italian design. Locman works closely with the Italian Ministry of Defense and the Premiership (English football) and produces watches for the Armed Forces, Special Forces and especially for the Italian Navy.

The story of Locman watches is closely linked to that of founder and chairman Marco Mantovani, who was born in 1961 in Marina di Campo on the island of Elba. Together with Fulvio Locci, he founded the watch brand Locman in 1986. Locman started out as a design agency for some of the major Swiss watch brands before becoming a self-branded watch manufacturing company. In the late 1980s, Genesi, a renowned Milanese watch factory that had been operating since the 1950s, became Locman's manufacturing partner, enabling the company to offer high-quality watches produced in Italy at prices well below those in Switzerland. Thanks to Genesi and his technical expertise, Locman took the plunge and started designing and manufacturing watches under his own label. The first Locman watch was made entirely by hand, with parts in gold and thorn root, a precious wood typical of Elba and the Mediterranean scrub. At that time, Claudio Fanucchi joins Locman as a shareholder. In 1990, Carlo Crocco, owner of the prestigious Geneva brand Hublot (now part of the LVMH group) bought a stake in Locman and offered to distribute its products worldwide. This was an ideal growth opportunity for the Tuscan brand.

In 1996, during one of his regular visits to America, Marco Mantovani was waiting at a customs office on a small Caribbean island when he saw an old photo of the lighthouse at Punta Polveraia on Elba. It was a moment that touched him deeply. Marco was thousands of miles away from the places and people he loved, and those few minutes were decisive. At the time, he divided his time between Milan, Switzerland and his regular travels around the world. But his real home was on Elba, where Locman had maintained a branch and shop.

On his return to Italy, Mantovani decided to take back control of the company, which was once again 100% Italian, and to move the main production site to Marina di Campo, a stone's throw from the sea. Two old friends joined the company, Giuseppe Pea from Brescia and Ben Feigenbaum from Miami.

Watch sales grew strongly, especially in the United States. The design, colors and use of innovative materials such as aluminum, sometimes combined with diamonds, were key to the company's worldwide success. Demand exceeded production capacity and Locman watches became highly sought after by international stars: Jennifer Lopez, Sharon Stone, Nicole Kidman and Elton John are just a few of the personalities photographed wearing watches made on Elba.

In December 2000, Hopa SPA, a major Italian financial company and a major shareholder of, among others, Telecom Italia, joined Locman's share capital. For Locman, this arrival marked a significant change in pace, both in terms of governance and international investment. It was in this context that prestigious collaborations began with the Italian Armed Forces, leading to the launch of collections with the decals of the Air Force, the Folgore Paratroopers and the Navy. In 2002, Locman became the official supplier to the English Premiership and his products were later chosen by President Berlusconi to be used as diplomatic gifts to various heads of state and international delegations.

Investments continued in new technologies and at Baselworld 2003 Locman presented the world's first watch with a carbon fiber case. The result of these developments is the Stealth Titanium and Carbon collection which is a big hit with the public. 2010 was the year in which the new Montecristo model was launched, a new milestone for Locman in terms of recognition and production quality. With its sporty, maritime spirit, the Montecristo watch collection has become a true icon of Italian watchmaking.

Locman watches are known and loved worldwide. Real watch lovers know the Italian brand and many who went on holiday in Italy returned with a Locman watch on their wrist. Locman currently has a very nice collection of excellent watches with quartz or automatic movements. The models are characterized by a sporty look and high-quality materials. The nice thing about a Locman watch, however, is the unique price/quality ratio. There are few watch brands in Europe that combine such quality with an interesting price.

We will soon present Locman on our websites. As an official dealer we will have the latest collections in stock. We offer fast delivery, competitive prices and excellent after sales. Will you soon be wearing a beautiful Locman watch from Italy?
