Iron Annie watches | German quality

Posted on 12 September 2019 at 10:25 AM

Germany is known for the reliability and quality of the production of various products, including watches. Pointtec is a German family business that has made a name for itself in the production of high-quality and special watches with a story. Pointtec has various brands in its collection, including the nostalgic brands Zeppelin and Junkers. The Iron Annie brand is also produced by Pointtec. This brand is new on the market and definitely worth seeing.

Iron Annie 5902-4

Just like with Junkers and Zeppelin, there is a special history behind the German brand Iron Annie. The inspiration for the brand can be found in the legendary aircraft history. The name "Iron Annie" comes from the aircraft JU-52 with the registration number D-AQUI which has played an important role in the history of aviation. The Americans called this aircraft "Iron Annie" in admiration. Robustness, reliability and technical innovation are important features of both the aircraft and the Iron Annie watches of today.

Iron Annie offers a very wide range of both women's and men's watches in many different designs. For example, we find retro watches, pilot watches and Bauhaus models in the extensive collection. In addition to the high quality and diversity of designs, Iron Annie watches also offer an extremely good price/quality ratio. The brand is very affordable, you can order an Iron Annie watch from € 199.

Iron Annie has both quartz, mechanical and automatic watches in its range. Only quality timepieces of both Swiss and Japanese origin are used for the watches. Various series can be distinguished in the Iron Annie collection. The Bauhaus series, for example, is inspired by the Bauhaus art movement, in which minimalism plays a major role. This is also reflected in the Bauhaus watch models. Another series from Iron Annie is the "Jubliaumsmodell series", specially designed to mark the 30th anniversary of Pointtec. The models in this series are limited and therefore extra special. The appearance of these models can be called stylish and classic. The Iron Annie Amazonas series finds its inspiration in the aviation history of both cargo and passengers in South America. The appearance of these designs is best described as classic and nostalgic. Different models of Iron Annie are available with a beautiful leather strap or a Milanese stainless steel watch band.

As an official dealer of Iron Annie watches, we deliver every Iron Annie watch in a luxury watch box and with a two-year international warranty. You will of course also receive a manual with the watch. We have the entire Iron Annie watch collection in stock and ship worldwide.

Luwima watch winders | Collection 19/20

Posted on 4 September 2019 at 3:18 PM

A watch winder is an absolutely vital part of the collection of a fan of automatic watches. Each automatic watch must be worn for the required energy or be provided with the right movement in another way to generate this energy. A good quality watch winder simulates the natural wrist movement very accurately. This means that an automatic watch or even several watches will continue to run when they are not being worn. By preventing an automatic watch from standing still, you prevent inaccuracies in the time and date display and wear.

Luwima watch winder

There are various watch winder brands of different quality and origins. Many of the watch winders use a similar technique for winding watches. However, there are also a number of brands that have developed a unique proprietary system to provide automatic watches with their energy needs. The German brand Luwima is an example of a watch winder brand with its own unique vision and unique way of winding automatic watches. Completely in line with the idea that "form follows function", Luwima develops watch winders with advanced technology. This makes Luwima a very interesting brand for the true watch enthusiast. A combination of craftsmanship, innovation, very attractive use of materials and high-quality technology means that the high-end Luwima watch winders can be labeled as one of the best of their kind.

The Luwima watch winders are made in Germany. The most modern techniques are used for the development of Luwima's watch winders. The different models are made of aluminum. This material is known for its durability and robustness. In addition, aluminum is very light in weight and therefore easy to handle. With 650 rotations to the right and then 650 rotations to the left, the watch winders provide the required energy requirement perfectly and are suitable for all automatic watches.

In addition to good technology and quality, the design is important as well. Luwima watch winders have a luxurious and stylish appearance and with their unique design are a modern eye-catcher in your interior. In our collection are different series of Luwima watch winders available, such as the Business Black and Silver series and the Premium Chrome series.

Epos watches | Swiss perfection

Posted on 31 August 2019 at 7:50 AM

We offer many watch brands in our webshop. Swiss, German, Japanese or even from the Netherlands. We like to take a look at a brands history, but also like to determine whether a watch brand would fit well in our collection. In this article we write about Epos, a Swiss watch brand with a beautiful history that today still produces beautiful automatic watches with the Swiss made label. Quality and originality guaranteed!

The Swiss watch brand Epos has been around since 1925 and has built up a rich history and name. The brand started its adventure under the name of James Aubert SA and was founded in the Vallée de joux, which is also known as "the world of mechanical watches". James Aubert was a very skilled watch technician. He devoted a great deal of time and attention to the development of new techniques in the field of watches and has thus brought the company to a higher level, in particular in the area of ??so-called "minute repeaters" and chronographs. His son, to whom Aubert later transferred the company, is also responsible for various innovations with regard to watch technology.

Epos 34381319630 watch

When in the eighties the popularity of automatic watches drastically decreased due to the rise of the quartz watch, there are few brands that still want to produce them. An exception to this is specialist technician Peter Hoofer, who founded EPOS SA in 1983 together with his wife. In close collaboration with Jean Fillon, they developed fantastic collections of automatic watches. In 2002 the company was taken over by members of the Chonge-Foster family, who continued the company and developed it into the exceptional collections of today.

Epos has a beautiful collection of both men's and women's watches and even modern pocket watches. The quality of the Swiss made watches is very high. The designs are traditional, robust and classically designed with modern technology. With this, Epos has captured its slogan in its products. This is therefore very justified: "the artistry of watchmaking", because the hand of a skilled watch technician is one of a craftsman and an artist. In addition, Epos is very affordable compared to well-known brands.

The watches from Epos feature Swiss automatic movements from ETA and Sellita, which are known for their reliability and reliability. The movements are nicely finished with Cotes de Geneve and blue screws, which clearly shows the eye for detail. Each Epos watch is made by hand, using high-quality materials such as sapphire glass. Epos watches are available with both a beautiful leather watch strap and a stylish stainless steel strap. The Epos watch collection includes various series, including the Epos Emotion series. The watches in this series have a classic and modest design. The Epos original series is characterized by a more retro style. But Epos also offers plenty of options for the more modern taste. The Epos sportive series have a tough and sporty look.

We deliver every Epos watch in the luxury official box with manual and two-year warranty. Quickly take a look at our collection. All models are in stock and available immediately.

Meccaniche Veneziane is an Italian watch brand that delivers absolute top quality. A brand created from a passion for technology. The founders, the Alessandro and Alberto brothers, found inspiration for the birth of this brand in the beautiful bell tower of Venice, Italy. The clock mechanism in this impressive tower made them want to turn their love for beautiful watches into action. They delved into the history of traditional Venetian watch production.

What is an automatic watch?

Posted on 23 August 2019 at 9:09 AM

For the watch lover who is fascinated by the operation of the authentic clock and the technology behind a watch, an automatic watch is often the ultimate choice. In contrast to a quartz watch, an automatic watch does not work on a battery, but on movement. The specific movement of the wrist ensures that the watch is supplied with the energy required to keep running. Replacing a battery is therefore not necessary with an automatic watch. This type of movement is very effective and is often used in more expensive watches. The automatic watch is paramount for many Swiss watch brands.

Because an automatic watch does not require a battery, you are basically assured of a working watch when it is moving enough. Nevertheless, the necessary precautions are also required for an automatic watch. As said, when you wear the watch, it is supplied with energy by the wrist movement. If you do not wear it, it is necessary to provide the watch with this movement in a different way. This is possible through the use of a watch winder. A watch winder mimics the movement of the wrist, so that your watch will continue to run even when you are not wearing it and will also remain protected against external influences.

Fortis Dornier watch

A high-quality automatic watch is made by hand from a professional, using high-quality materials. This includes stainless steel, sapphire glass, fine leather, but also gold and carbon. Examples of brands with these types of watches are Tag Heuer, Laco and Fortis. Various watch brands also have models in the collection that offer a view of the movement (calibre) through a see-through bottom, such as Iron Annie, Epos and Junkers. This see-through bottom offers the possibility to view a piece of the special technology behind the operation of the watch. Certainly for the true enthusiast of added value in an automatic watch.

BensonTrade offers a wide collection of high-quality automatic watches from various renowned brands. Of course with a minimum of 2 years warranty, packed in original watch box and manual. We ship worldwide via PostNL, DPD or Fedex.

Swiss made watches

Posted on 15 August 2019 at 8:03 AM

We all know that Switzerland is seen as the country "pur sang" for watches. This country has a long and special history in the field of watches, especially of automatic and mechanical watches. Over the years, watch brands from Switzerland have been able to gain a lot of experience and knowledge. The country is home to many highly skilled technicians and has various innovations achieved. A Swiss watch is reliable, robust and of very high quality and manufactured with passion and extreme precision. The Swiss made label is more important than ever!

Fortis Cockpit watch

When a watch brand is allowed to use the "Swiss made" label, this says a lot about the quality, origin and durability of the watch. A "Swiss made" watch must meet various strict requirements and conditions. The origin of the "Swiss made" designation can be found in 1971. The requirements and conditions were drawn up this year, followed by a change in 1995. Note that this standard is a minimum standard. So there is still a difference in quality possible between the various Swiss watch brands. The differences are mainly reflected in the production method and the use of materials. Of course, brand experience is also important, you now pay more for a Breitling watch than for an Epos watch. Nevertheless, Epos delivers beautiful watches that are not inferior in terms of technology or use of materials. And the price is much more interesting.

What does a genuine Swiss watch offer? In any case, the movement of the watch must come from Switzerland and be built into the watch case there. There is also the requirement that the final inspections must be carried out within Switzerland. In addition, at least 60% of the development costs incurred must have been spent within Switzerland.

BensonTrade offers a wide range of beautiful Swiss brands such as Epos, Fortis and Glycine. Absolute quality watches with Swiss made automatic movements. BensonTrade is an official dealer of various Swiss watch brands and we deliver these watches in a luxury official watch box and always with a minimum of two years warranty.
