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 T Swiss Made T
- Is Rolex Swiss made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Rolex watches are Swiss-made. The company operates out of headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. In-house factories located in Switzerland are responsible for producing every movement, dial and other component that goes into a Rolex watch. Artisans do much of the work by hand, and this painstaking craftsmanship is part of what gives the watches their value. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Rolex watches.
- 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.
- 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 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.

- 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 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.
- Is Vitra Swiss or German?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Whether Vitra is Swiss or German is a matter of perspective. The husband and wife team that founded Vitra, Willi and Erika Fehlbaum, are Swiss, but they established the company in Weil am Rhein, Germany, in 1950. The couple had previously owned a shopfitting company in Basel, Switzerland, and conducted some of Vitra's business there. In 1956, Vitra moved to a location in Birsfelden, Switzerland, where its headquarters has remained ever since. However, Vitra continues to operate manufacturing facilities in Germany. As a result, you might say that Vitra is a Swiss company with strong ties to Germany. Shop a collection of Vitra furniture on 1stDibs.
- 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.
- 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.
- What is Swiss style poster?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Swiss style poster is a poster created with a type of graphic design inspired by collage and contrasting texture. This style of graphic design was not created in Switzerland, but rose to popularity as designers further its development there. Shop a collection of Swiss style posters from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024What the top Swiss watchmakers are is largely a matter of personal opinion.

- Where is Kartell made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Kartell is made in Italy. The company has had its headquarters and factory in Noviglio, Lombardy, since 1967.
