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 Watch Used
- 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Whether Hamilton watches are American or Swiss depends on the timepiece in question. Prior to 2003, Hamilton manufactured its timepieces in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After the company's sale to the Swatch Group, its headquarters and manufacturing facility relocated to Biel, Switzerland. Explore a variety of Hamilton watches on 1stDibs.
- Are Versace watches Swiss-made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Versace watches are exclusively Swiss made. It’s important to purchase from a vetted seller or vendor to ensure authenticity. While Versace has at times inspired knockoffs, 1stDibs partners with only top-vetted sellers to offer authentic pieces that come with a buyer protection guarantee.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Yes, Gucci watches are Swiss-made. Since 1972, Gucci has made all of its timepieces in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Shop a collection of Gucci watches from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Hamilton watches became Swiss in 2003 when the watchmaker moved from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to Biel, Switzerland. While based in the U.S., the company produced watches for the winners of the 1928 World Series and was the official watch for the employees of four commercial airlines. Shop a variety of Hamilton watches on 1stDibs.
- How do I use a doctor s watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To use a doctor's watch, use the large dial to track the time. The smaller dial is for measuring a patient's pulse. If you would like to try it, find the pulse point and wait for the second hand to reach the 12 o'clock position. Then, count the number of beats you hear until the second hand returns to that point. You'll find a selection of doctor's watches on 1stDibs.
- What is a watch fob used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A watch fob is a pocket watch chain. It is used to make the pocket watch more accessible, giving the user something to grab on to when pulling a pocket watch out of a vest or pants pocket. The classic way to wear a pocket watch is at the end of a fob in the waistcoat pocket. Shop a range of antique and designer watch fobs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023There isn't one specific brand or model of watch that the military uses. Generally, members of the military wear watches that are durable, waterproof, shockproof and accurate in the field. Shop a variety of watches on 1stDibs.
- Are diamonds used in watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024Yes, diamonds are used in watches. Many watches contain bearings crafted out of lab-made jewels, which minimize friction and support more accurate timekeeping. In some cases, makers use lab-made diamonds for these features. Watchmakers may also set decorative diamonds into the bezel or bracelet to enhance the visual appeal of their timepieces. Some makers well-known for their diamond watches include Graff, Chopard, Jacob Co., Piaget, Hublot, Cartier and Bulgari. Shop a collection of diamond watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Almost all Rolex watches say “Swiss-Made” or “Swiss” on the watch face. Sometimes there is also the letter “T” included in this mark. Rolex is a Swiss brand and stands on the proud tradition of excellent Swiss timepiece construction. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
