It is impossible and even hard to think right?

Branded watches has been the most excellent icon of performance, and prestige for over a century. The watches are essential accessory for every outfit which let us know the time and make ourselves to accomplish our tasks accordingly.

WENGER

Wenger watches are designed to meet the most rigorous military requirements. The specifications would impress even the boldest watchmaker. Our watches must withstand use in extreme cold and humidity; withstand impacts, magnetism, and sudden changes in altitude. During the Swiss Commando Raid, which brings together military teams from fifteen countries, our watches are subjected to the worst that can be inflicted on a timepiece, and not on our laboratory test benches, but for real. As far as we are concerned, it is simply unthinkable that even one of our watches would not stand up to this terrible ordeal. The watches that we market throughout the world are exactly the same as those worn by the winning patrol in the Swiss Commando Raid. You can wear them without fear during your sporting or leisure activities.

Like Swiss Army knives, all of our timepieces are designed to be truly useful and to provide lasting satisfaction. The collection is split into various families. This range of Swiss Made watches caters to every aspect of traditional usage. Wenger’s characteristic logo, the cross of Switzerland engraved in a red square with rounded corners sits in the twelve o’clock position on the case. Some models have silver escutcheons, for aesthetic reasons. Every Wenger watch is covered by a 3 year warranty and incorporates the same basic qualities as the Swiss Army knife – ingenuity, functionality, reliability and, above all, remarkable value for money.

CROTON

Switzerland, an iconic country famous for a people of an impeccable nature, from whom the most precise instruments of time measurement are generated, located in a region that is married to the greatest producer of high fashion the world over, Italy.  Within the Italian landscape lies a city, historically known for the intelligence, strength and physical beauty of its inhabitants; CROTON.

The global position of a land possessing people who excelled at precision, strength and beauty led to the natural selection of Croton as the namesake for a timepiece company who sought to establish its very essence on quality, precision and style back in 1878, more than 130 years ago.

As Croton evolved through the years it remained loyal to its origins, always striving to innovate and captivate consumers with its ability to consistently create highly sought after timepieces, ever so precise, at a value all are quick to recognize. By the mid 1900’s Croton had become one of the most sought after and respected names in watches. In 1991 the brand was acquired by Nationwide Time, a family owned business specializing in the manufacture and wholesale of fine timepieces for generations. Nationwide Time had been searching for the right brand to infuse their experience, energy and passion into and they found it in Croton. Nationwide Time President David Mermelstein explains “ our family had been quite successful in the watch business since the 1960’s. We were looking to take our business to the next level and we knew that the time had come to either create or acquire a brand that we could build and work with, for generations to come. When we learned about Croton’s rich and prestigious history coupled with the fact that like our company, Croton had always been family owned, we instinctively knew that Croton was exactly what we had been waiting for.”

From the start, the Mermelsteins’ goal for Croton was clear; to embellish Croton’s already stellar image by producing the highest quality timepieces at the best value possible, supported by a rare lifetime warranty on every watch movement. Within this very demanding framework, Croton assembled an impressive team of experts who continually challenged themselves to produce wonderous time tracking devices, built from concept to production, by the very best designers and craftsmen utilizing the very finest materials available.

Demand for Croton merchandise has never been stronger with more than one million watches sold in 2007 alone. To meet those demands, production has increased to a minimum of 250 new styles annually. Croton has unequivocally established itself as the “benchmark of quality, precision, style and design” within the timepiece industry. With over 5000 points of distribution in place, Croton has become a recognized brand name that resonates affectionately with retailers and consumers alike. In addition to Crotons retail presence, the brand also sits at the pinnacle of one of the most watched shopping channels, Shop NBC, reaching an estimated 67 million homes on a monthly basis.

Open just about any timepiece publication and most likely you will find advertisements, editorials or both featuring the Croton brand name. Croton’s popularity has increased significantly, not only with the general public, but the celebrity set as well. Some of the Hollywood’s most recognizable names are Croton owners such as; Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Natalie Cole, Quincy Jones, Joe Mantegna and Josh Groban just to name a few.

This year Croton reached a milestone with its 130th anniversary and reinvented itself as the “Croton Group.”Based on the company’s winning philosophy of creating high quality, value based products, the “Croton Group” segmented its portfolio of brands, which include Nicolet, Andre Girroud, Manhattan and Paul DuPree each targeting specific demographics and price points, as well as its first foray into the prestigious exotic leather goods market, with the introduction of its Nina Raye handbag and accessories collection.

LUCIEN PICCARD

Lucien Piccard, one of the finest names in classic timepieces, founded in Switzerland in 1923. Lucien Piccard watches have an illustrious history. Lucien Piccard watches and jewelry are some of the most sought after in the world. LUCIEN PICCARD has adorned royalty, dignitaries, and celebrities worldwide.

Its notoriety notwithstanding, LUCIEN PICCARD has built a long standing reputation as “the affordable quality Swiss watch”. Originally renowned for our classic gold precision timepieces, in recent years The LP Watch Group has broadened its lines to incorporate four distinct collections; LP Italy, LP Swiss, Lucien Piccard, and DuFonte by Lucien Piccard.

Since 1923 the very heart of each LP Watch design has relied on our ever evolving philosophy and commitment to quality, excellence and distinction. Please step into a world where classic designs and elegance of fine watch making combine.

FOSSIL

Fossil was founded in 1984 as Overseas Products International. Their main product was fashion watches with a retro look. In 1990, they introduced leather goods under the Fossil brand, and the Relic line of watches.

Fossil had an IPO in 1993

Zodiac was a Swiss brand that had been operating since 1882 when Fossil acquired it in 2001 to give them a higher end brand. Fossil’s desire to establish a Swiss presence led to the purchase of the Zodiac Watch brand and a complete retooling of that line to reflect a retro modern 1970s style in a higher end watch. The 2004 purchase of Michele Watch completed the cycle by offering a high-end Swiss watch with a designer flair.

Fossil has been very successful with its own brands and this success has led to companies coming to Fossil to create licensed watch lines. The licensed watch lines that Fossil designs, manufactures, and distributes.

This is a common mistake that helps crooks to sell imitation and fake diamonds to innocent customers. Usually, there are four elements well known as four Cs that determines the quality of diamond. They are cut, color, carat, and clarity. It is advisable to have a diamond examiner or appraiser at your side while visiting diamond jewellery store.

The very first thing that you need to consider while checking a diamond is to bring it under phosphorescent lights or sunlight to check its color quality. Halogen lamps create delusions and you will not be able to verify the right color of a diamond that you wish to buy.

Proportionally cut diamonds at the perfect angle radiate light brightly through the different angles of the stone. In some stones, air pocket and impurities obstruct clarity. Check properly for improper cuts and clarity lessening properties of the diamond. And the last factor among Cs is Carat size. Some diamond may be larger with small carat size and some may smaller with large carat size therefore, you should be careful about carat size as well.

This is the fact that who ever will order it, will order something special and distinctive. This is why your handmade jewellery becomes more special and more precious. Now, the question arises regarding the security of your favourite jewellery. Following are the tips which may save the jewellery from theft, loss and damage.

For keeping jewellery safe from theft, it should be kept in a jewellery box into a closet. Usually most of the people keep their jewellery in their dresser’s drawer to whom a thief check first. Else, one should also keep his bedroom closet lock all the time. The room which will have jewellery, quality locks must be used for better security. Most of thefts happen in day light because when the people of home go out for work or picnic, thieves get easy access to the home because they have no fear of being caught. So a home should be constructed in such a way that it may keep the thieves away from precious handmade jewellery and from other appliances as well. And if one is on vacation, one should tell the neighbour that in one’s absence they collect one’s newspapers and mail and look after one’s home. You should keep inside light and porch light ON which will create illusion to thief that some one is inside the home. While leaving the home it should be confirmed that the jewellery is kept in a secure location.

If the handmade jewellery is bothering during the working hours then it shouldn’t be kept in pocket or messy purse. A jewellery pouch is good enough to keep a unique piece of art safe until you reach home.

You should not pack your jewellery in a luggage which, later, may be handled by some one else. Always pack the jewellery in carry on luggage so you can safely keep an eye on it. While staying at hotel the jewellery should be retained in the room’s safe or in hotel’s safe because when the jewellery is open it can be lost by vacuum or stolen by room service agents.
