Eone Time watches for the real watch lover!

Posted on 10 November 2020 at 1:41 PM

If you are looking for a modern watch with a different design, then you have come to the right place at Eone Time watches. This brand from the US produces very nice watches with a completely unique design and way in which the time is displayed.

Eone Time Bradley mesh watch

Eone Time was founded as a watch brand because of the need for watches that also allow visually impaired and blind people to observe the actual time. In this case by feeling what time it is. Yet the Eone Time watches are the most popular among people who find the design appealing and who want to wear a modern watch.

The heart of the Eone Time watches is formed by a solid quartz movement. The case is made of titanium and very lightweight. This increases wearing comfort. Each watch is fitted with a beautiful canvas strap or in stainless steel as desired. The canvas watch straps are available in all kinds of colors. The stainless steel watch strap is a so-called Milanese bracelet, a strap that consists entirely of small rings and has a very elegant look.

One of the most popular models is the Eone Time Bradley Voyager. This watch has a very chic look because of the light brown leather strap. This band is very comfortable to wear because it has a firm fit. Are you looking for a watch with a very modern and distinct look, then you can go to Eone Time for the models in the color black. These watches are completely black which gives a very cool look.

The advantages of an Eone Time watch are many. They have an attractive design, are lightweight and therefore pleasant to wear and they are made of good materials. There are also two major advantages. The first is that the watch has no glass. The watch glass is one of the first parts of a watch that suffers from use and wear. You will then get scratches or dents in the glass. You will not suffer from this with an Eone Time watch, because it has no glass. The second important advantage is the price. Few watch brands offer this level of quality combined with a unique design at such an interesting price.

Each Eone Time watch comes in chic packaging with manual and a 2-year warranty. As an official dealer, we offer you a wide collection of watches available from stock and clear service and warranty. Take a quick look at the current collection of Eone Time watches.

Affordable watch winders from the Benson Compact series

Posted on 5 November 2020 at 2:45 PM

If you are a watch enthusiast and are looking for an affordable watch winder then the Benson Compact watch winders are definitely worth a look. This generation of compact and affordable watch winders from the Dutch brand Benson has been a great success for several years. The brand has a good collection of Compact watch winders for 1 and 2 watches available. What makes the Benson Compact watch winders so popular? The answer is simple. These watch winders actually have no competition because they offer excellent quality at a low price.

The advantages of the Benson Compact watch winders

An automatic watch must be worn or wound not to lose energy and come to a standstill. If the watch does not receive energy for too long, it will stop. This is inconvenient because you then have to reset the settings in terms of time and date, after which you also have to wind the clock again so that it does not come to a stop again. A watch winder is the solution against unnecessary downtime of automatic watches.

If you have a budget of up to 300 euros, there is not a lot of choice of good watch winders. With this budget you will soon end up with unknown brands and low quality watch winders. But if you search carefully, you can certainly buy an excellent watch winder for this money. Benson proves this, because the brand has various watch winders with excellent specs for less than 300 euros.

Benson Compact 2.18 Black Leather watch winder

The Benson Compact watch winders have a modern design and are made of solid materials such as wood and leather. The watch winder is equipped with a Japanese motor that is used by many other more expensive brands. Operation is via the LCD display on the back, with which you can quickly and easily set the watch winder in terms of direction of rotation and number of revolutions per day. This allows you to set the watch winder exactly to the winding needs of your automatic watch. The Benson Compact watch winders are therefore suitable for any automatic watch, such as Rolex, Seiko, Oris, Tag Heuer, Omega or Breitling watches.

Compact design and a competitive price

The Benson Compact watch winders are designed, developed and tested in the Netherlands. The compact design ensures that you can easily place the watch winder anywhere and even use it in a safe because you can connect it to mains power but also to batteries. This makes you extremely flexible. This generation of watch winders does not have all kinds of luxury functions, it just does what it is intended for; wind automatic watches. This allowed Benson to keep the price very low. The Benson Compact watch winders start from 169 euros for the model for 1 watch and run up to 249 euros for the model for 2 watches.

At the beginning of 2021, Benson will introduce a new generation of Compact watch winders. These new watch winders will be made of wood and available for winding 1, 2 and even 3 automatic watches. The prices are not yet known but will be in the same price range as the current Compact watch winders from Benson.

What do you get with the Benson Compact watch winder?

The Benson Compact watch winders are all well packed in a sturdy box. In this box you will find the watch winder itself, the watch holder on which you attach the automatic watch, the adapter and manual. Despite the low and interesting price, each watch winder comes with a minimum of 2 years warranty.

Benson Swiss Series watch winders

The Dutch watch winder brand Benson launched its Black Series watch winders in 2016, which are currently among the best watch winders in this price range. The brand offers all kinds of advantages over other brands, whereby the price/quality ratio is especially unique. Benson watch winders offer all the functions you need to wind an automatic watch, regardless of brand or type, so that it no longer comes to a standstill.

Benson Swiss Series Triple watch winder

The Benson Black Series watch winders have been a great success since the introduction. With more than 250 sales points worldwide, these watch winders are sold by the best jewelers and web shops. In addition, Benson produces watch winders for various well-known Swiss and German watch brands. The success of the Black Series means that Benson has looked at what else might interest automatic watch enthusiasts. The answer is simple, a watch winder with Swiss technology for lovers of Swiss made watches. This gives you a perfect match between a watch winder with Swiss technology and watch brands of Swiss origin such as Rolex, Breitling, Omega, Oris, Tag Heuer, IWC and many others.

Switzerland is known as the watch country pur sang. However, they also produce excellent motors in Switzerland that are used, for example, in watch winders. Well-known brands that use Swiss engines are Swiss Kubik, Bernard Favre and RDI. Benson is now also in this list with the new Swiss Series of this Dutch brand.

The Benson Swiss Series watch winders use Swiss motors and mechanical technology. These motors are extremely strong, durable and virtually silent. That is why Benson gives a 3-year warranty on its Swiss Series watch winders. The Swiss motors offer the user the possibility to wind their watches in 9 programs. Naturally, all directions of rotation (right, left and alternating) and the most common TPD (turns per day) were chosen so that all automatic watches can be supplied with energy. This makes the Benson Swiss Series watch winder suitable for all watch brands.

The watch winders operate on mains power via the supplied adapter and have a very low energy consumption. The watch winder can also function on batteries. The watch winder can function for up to 6 months on a set of batteries. This is ideal if you want to put the watch winder in a safe or take it with you on a trip.

The watch holder on which you place the watch is made of soft material and bends with the shape of the watch. The watch holder can be adjusted in terms of the size of the watch and the wrist size. This makes it easy to place all kinds of watches on the watch holder. The watch holder with the watch is easily clicked into the watch winder so that it is securely in place. This prevents the watch from falling out, which can happen with a watch winder with cushions or loose watch holders. The safe winding of your automatic watches is very important to Benson.

The design of these watch winders is modern, stylish and compact. The Benson Swiss Series come in four variants in terms of capacity, a watch winder for winding one automatic watch, a model for two automatic watches, a model for three automatic watches and a watch winder for winding four automatic watches. There are various variants of all models in terms of material and color. The watch winders are available in wood and real leather. This leather has a special finish and is stitched by hand for a beautiful optical effect. The watch winder with leather version is available in the colors dark brown and light brown. In addition, various Limited Editions will be available. Only 250 pieces of these limited models are produced per model. Each watch winder is individually numbered, made of leather and available in blue, white, green and red.

Benson has chosen the best materials for its Swiss Series; Swiss motors, a high-end display, mineral glass, original leather and stainless steel. Quality and durability are central to the Swiss Series watch winders. The beautiful finish and high functionality make these watch winders very complete.

Each Benson Swiss Series watch winder is handcrafted in the Netherlands. This is done during an extensive procedure in which functionality and quality are tested. The watch winders come with a 3-year warranty, certificate and manual. The watch winder is packaged including adapter in a nice package.

Iron Annie Bauhaus watches from Germany

Posted on 9 October 2020 at 2:58 PM

Iron Annie is a must for anyone who finds Junkers watches interesting. This German watch brand is seen as the successor to Junkers and can therefore be compared in several respects. Both brands are produced by the same watch manufacturer, just like the Zeppelin watch brand. Iron Annie watches are made by hand in Germany. The brand offers good quality and also knows how to remain affordable, just like the Junkers watches. Both brands are traditional and both brands offer automatic, mechanical and quartz watches. The advantage is that these brands are both attractive to a wide audience, because it is also accessible to people with a less generous budget and there is a wide choice in terms of appearance and type of timepiece.

Iron Annie Bauhaus 5018-4 watch

The special name of this watch brand refers to the JU-52 aircraft, with registration D-AQUI. These planes were admired by the Americans as "Iron Annie" because the planes were so reliable and robust. Today's Iron Annie watches also have these properties, along with a piece of technical innovation and a distinctive design. Iron Annie is therefore not only a brand that offers quality, diversity and special designs, but also a brand with a story. That will certainly arouse the curiosity of the real enthusiast.

Various series can be distinguished within the Iron Annie watch collection. We will provide a stage for a number of models in this article. Starting with the Iron Annie Bauhaus 5018-4 watch. This model comes from the Bauhaus series. The watches in this series are inspired by the Bauhaus art movement, where minimalism and simplicity predominate. The watches within this series are very diverse in terms of timepieces. There is a choice of mechanical, quartz and automatic timepieces and the watches are equipped with Swiss or Japanese timepieces. Of course all of high quality. Each Iron Annie watch is available with a leather strap or a stainless steel Milanese strap for even more variety.

The Iron Annie Bauhaus 5018-4 is a watch with an automatic movement from ETA and is water resistant to 50 meters. The leather strap of this watch is light brown in color. The case is made of stainless steel and the glass is mineral glass. The watch also offers extra functionalities such as luminous indicators, date display and a nice chronograph function. In other words, a very nice complete watch!

The second watch is also one from the Bauhaus series. It is the Iron Annie Bauhaus 5066-1 watch. This watch has a black leather strap and a white dial. The automatic movement is from the Japanese brand Miyota. This watch has a see-through bottom, so you can see your watch at work. Furthermore, the watch is equipped with date display, luminous indicators, power reserve and second hands. In other words, a very complete watch.

Watch number 3, again a Bauhaus model, is the Iron Annie Bauhaus 5096-4 watch. This watch has a light brown leather strap. The dial is white and the watch is fitted with a high-quality Swiss ETA movement. This is a quartz movement and therefore works on battery. This has the advantage that it is even more accurate in terms of the time display and is more resistant to shocks and impacts. This design is again modest, completely in keeping with the Bauhaus movement. It ensures that the watch has a well-organized and clear time display and that it quickly matches an outfit in terms of style. We also see nice extra functionalities with this model. A chronograph function, date display, second hand and luminous indicators complete the picture.

In addition to the mentioned Bauhaus models, you will find many others in the Iron Annie collection. The choice is huge within the Bauhaus series as well as various other series of watches. We see for example the Iron Annie Amazonas series, with various beautiful watches that are inspired by the historical aviation of both passengers and cargo in South America. The watches within the series have a classic look and provide a touch of nostalgia. The Iron Annie Flight Control series is certainly an example of an Iron Annie watch series that is absolutely worth a look. These are traditional pilot's watches, for which many enthusiasts can be found. These watches are slightly more robust in appearance. Here you can also choose from a mechanical, automatic and quartz watch.

The advantages of Italian watches

Posted on 22 September 2020 at 11:18 AM

The most famous watch brands such as Breitling, Rolex, IWC and Tag Heuer come from Switzerland. This country is still the watch country par excellence. This has always been the case and will not change quickly in the future. The Swiss have built an excellent reputation in terms of quality, design and appearance. As a result, Swiss watches are still extremely popular and everyone knows the most famous Swiss watch brands. They are often luxury brands that are associated with class and luxury.

Locman Aeronautica watch

Yet there are many watch brands from other countries that are not inferior to the well-known Swiss watch brands. They also produce beautiful watches in France, Germany, Japan and Italy that can certainly compete with Swiss watch brands in terms of quality. In this blog we will discuss Italian watches. Italy has a few beautiful brands, some of which we offer in our webshop. What are the advantages of Italian watches?

Design

The first advantage of Italian watches, and perhaps the most important one, is the design. There is actually no country in the world whose people have such an incredibly good sense of design. Not only when it comes to watches, the Italians have an eye for detail and design. Italy is a household name, especially when it comes to fashion and cars. You can think of brands such as D&G, Armani, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Everyone knows these brands.

In the field of watches, Italy is becoming more and more successful. Brands such as Sector, Meccaniche Veneziane and Locman are appealing watch brands. The Sector watch brand is in the somewhat lower price segment, but produces fine watches with a sporty character. Locman and Meccaniche Veneziane are in the middle segment in terms of price.

Locman is a brand that focuses on a completely contemporary design with many different use of color. Meccaniche Veneziane is a newcomer and very popular for their cool and sporty watches. Especially the Nereide watches with their Rolex look sell very well. The Strumento Marino brand also comes from Italy. This brand offers a good mix of Italian design and affordable prices. But don't forget the watch winders from Scatola del Tempo in addition to Italian watches. Watch winders with a very nice appearance and typical Italian design. Ideal for winding an automatic watch.

Design is hugely important to Italian watch brands. This allows them to distinguish themselves from other brands. This also affects the use of materials. The Italian watch brands choose the best materials, not only for the watches themselves, but also for the manual and packaging.

Quality

The second advantage of Italian watches is the good quality. Where Swiss watch brands have the reputation of delivering good quality, Italian watches certainly have this too. Often because these Italian watch brands also use Swiss timepieces, both automatic and quartz. This guarantees quality. Cheaper brands such as Sector also use Japanese timepieces, such as Miyota. Meccaniche Veneziane watches are available with Swiss movement and with Japanese movement. This depends on the exact series. The latest series are all equipped with an automatic Japanese timepiece because they are slightly cheaper, but qualitatively hardly inferior to a Swiss timepiece.

In short, quality is also an important aspect with Italian watches. Quality that is guaranteed by using Swiss or Japanese timepieces.

Most Italian watches are fitted with a stainless steel watch case, sapphire glass and a beautiful watch strap. These are actually the most important parts of a watch, besides the movement. All brands also give a minimum of 2 years warranty on their watches.

Pricing

The last important advantage of Italian watches is the price. Swiss brands have the name and you pay a price for that. Swiss watches are generally more expensive than watches from other countries. Of course you get a watch of excellent quality for this, but you also pay part for the name and history.

Italian watches often have a very good price/quality ratio and are certainly more attractively priced than Swiss watches. This is a big advantage. Meccaniche Veneziane watches are a good example. These watches actually offer everything that the major well-known watch brands offer, however Meccaniche Veneziane uses a much more attractive price level. This makes such a watch much more accessible than a Rolex, Breitling or Oris watch. Of course, these brands have proven to make fantastic watches for years, while Meccaniche Veneziane has only been around for a few years. Nevertheless, this does not mean that you can have a lot of fun with a Meccaniche Veneziane watch for a modest price.

If you are looking for a watch with a beautiful design, made of good materials and for an attractive price, then you should definitely check out a few Italian watch brands. We are personally very fond of Meccaniche Veneziane. Simply because they make beautiful watches that are of very good quality. In addition, they offer sapphire glass, a rotating bezel, a water resistance of 200 meters, screw-down crown and a comfortable watch strap. The brand's sporty designs appeal to a large audience, and certainly us!
