Finding the Right Wrist-watches for You
Antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.
Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.
Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.
Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.
In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.
Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.

Questions About Swiss Gold Watches
- Why are Swiss watches so famous?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Swiss watches are so famous for several reasons. A number of the world's most well-known and prestigious watch brands, from Rolex to Patek Philippe, hail from Switzerland, giving the country deep roots in the history of luxury watches. Switzerland is also home to some of the most highly skilled artisans in the world, making Swiss-made watches and the components that power them of exceptional quality. Shop a wide variety of Swiss watches on 1stDibs.
- Which brands are Swiss watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024Many brands are Swiss watches. Switzerland is home to around 700 watchmakers, making it the world's leading center for timepiece production. Some well-known Swiss watch brands are Angelus, Arnold Son, Audemars Piguet, Baume Mercier, Blancpain, Breitling, Breguet, Chopard, EBEL, Frederique Constant, Girard-Perregaux, Hublot, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaquet-Droz, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, Montblanc, Omega, Panerai, Patek Philippe, Piaget, Richard Mille, Roger Dubuis, Rolex, Swatch, TAG Heuer, Tudor, Ulysse Nardin, Vacheron Constantin and Zenith. Shop a wide range of Swiss watches on 1stDibs.
- Who makes Swiss watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Many companies make Swiss watches. The term “Swiss watch” can refer to any timepiece made in Switzerland. Among the hundreds of watchmakers who manufacture timepieces in the country are Angelus, Arnold Son, Audemars Piguet, Baume Mercier, Blancpain, Breitling, Breguet, Chopard, EBEL, Frederique Constant, Girard-Perregaux, Hublot, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaquet-Droz, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, Montblanc, Omega, Panerai, Patek Philippe, Piaget, Richard Mille, Roger Dubuis, Rolex, Swatch, TAG Heuer, Tudor, Ulysse Nardin, Vacheron Constantin and Zenith. Keep in mind that the term "Swiss-made" is not the same as "Swiss." To be considered Swiss-made, a watch must meet standards set forth by the Swiss government. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Swiss watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024Some Swiss watches are so expensive for a few reasons. First, Switzerland has long been a major center for watch manufacturing. As a result, many artisans who have spent years studying the trade live and work there, painstakingly handcrafting movements and other components for watches and completing the assembly and finishing process. All that labor increases the cost of luxury Swiss watches while also limiting the number of them produced. Since the reputation of Swiss watches is so stellar, demand for them often vastly exceeds supply, which further adds to pricing. In addition, luxury watches manufactured in Switzerland often feature costly materials, such as genuine gold, platinum and titanium. Keep in mind that not all watches made in Switzerland are luxury timepieces. Makers also craft fashion watches in the country, so prices do vary. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Swiss watches.
- Why are Swiss watches the best?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024There are a few reasons why some watch lovers believe that Swiss watches are the best. For one thing, Switzerland is home to the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), a regulating agency that tests and certifies the chronometers in mechanical watches. Watchmakers must meet high benchmarks for precision, performance and quality to get COSC-certified. In addition, Swiss luxury watchmakers tend to favor fine materials, including sapphire glass, titanium, 18-karat gold, genuine leather and natural gemstones. The quality of the materials contributes to the visual appeal and longevity of Swiss watches. Since Switzerland is home to so many watchmakers, there are ample opportunities for would-be artisans to gain experience through apprenticeships. Thus, generation after generation, they learn time-honored crafting techniques that also account for the quality of Swiss watches. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Swiss watches.
- Are Bremont watches Swiss-made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, Bremont watches are not Swiss-made. Bremont Watch Company is a British watchmaker based in England that focuses on luxury and aviation-themed timepieces. Always purchase Bremont watches from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Browse a wide selection of authentic Bremont watches on 1stDibs.
- Are Longines watches Swiss made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Longines watches are Swiss made. The Longines headquarters are based in St-Imier, Switzerland since 1832, and each of their watches features a Swiss Made mark. Shop a range of Longines watches from some of the top boutiques around the world on 1stDibs.
- Are Ball watches Swiss-made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024Yes, Ball watches are Swiss-made. Although the company was founded in the United States, it relocated to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in the 20th century. Since then, Swiss artisans have done all the assembly and finishing work. Ball watches also feature Swiss movements and components. Some are made in-house, while others come from other Swiss makers, such as ETA. Explore a range of watches on 1stDibs.
- Is Philip Stein a Swiss watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024The answer to whether a Philip Stein watch is Swiss is a little complex. Philip Stein does have its headquarters in Switzerland and assembles its timepieces in the country. However, not all Philip Stein watches contain Swiss parts; some have movements and other components manufactured in Japan and elsewhere. As a result, not all Philip Stein watches can be correctly called Swiss-made, as the Swiss government reserves that term for watches that contain a certain percentage of Swiss-made parts. Explore a variety of Philip Stein watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024How much Swiss watches cost in Switzerland isn't that different from how much they sell for in the U.S. or elsewhere. You may sometimes enjoy modest cost savings by purchasing a watch in Switzerland. However, the country has a 20% value-added tax (VAT) that may offset any discounts you would get from buying abroad. Explore a diverse assortment of Swiss watches on 1stDibs.
- Are Zenith watches Swiss-made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024Yes, Zenith watches are Swiss-made. The luxury watchmaker has its atelier in Le Locle, which is in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Founded in 1865, the workshop has the distinction of being the first modern watch manufacturer. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Zenith watches.
