Discount Luxury Watches

When it comes to fine watches, it doesn’t get any finer than Chanel. Like the brand’s clothing, handbags, and other products, Chanel timepieces exemplify a certain cool aesthetic — sleek, refined, minimalist.

All of these qualities are present in Chanel’s J12 watches, available in masculine chronographs, feminine quartz models, and gender-neutral automatics. Designed in various manifestations of pristine white and impenetrable black, these timepieces are also marked by their distinct circular cases, a friendly nod to Swiss design.

And of course, since we’re talking Chanel, even the high-end, diamond encrusted models manage to look tasteful and restrained. These luxury timepieces feature twin rings of either classic white or exotic black diamonds set into the bezel.

For a more dynamic twist on classic Chanel style, we recommend the  Superleggera Ceramic Chornograph for men, featuring a uniquely shaded black ceramic case coated in tungsten-carbide. The bracelet is based in this same black, though lightened with an elegant stripe of aluminum ceramic. Finally, a silver dial and silver subdials complete the look as a middle-ground between Chanel’s typical black and white polarities.

Everyone knows watches allow their wearers to keep time, but what else have they got to offer? Let’s take a look.

One reason people wear watches is that, frankly, people have been wearing watches for centuries—why stop now? Some of the earliest timepieces were 16th century pocket watches, which were mostly functional but involved a level of fashion as well. Back then, if you had a pocket watch you would wear it on your buttonhole or waistcoat to flaunt your status, a style some men employ even today.

Second, a watch shows off its owner’s personality and style, be it sporty, funky, classic, elegant, rugged, or perhaps a combination of these. With so many different colors, sizes, brands, and makes, in addition to “build a watch” services, there’s really no limit to your customization. A lot of people like to mix diamond and gold cases with rubber straps, for example, to combine both edgy and timeless elements.

There’s certainly a watch out there for everyone. Into name brands? Try a Rolex. Sick of remembering which is the little hand? Go digital. Keep browsing and you’re sure to find the perfect timepiece!

Idon’t know about your kids, but while mine are very well-behaved and have great manners, I still wouldn’t want either to have a watch over $50, especially my youngest. Kids lose and break things all the time, so your best course of action is to only buy your youngsters budget watches. This way, it won’t be such a big deal if anything happens to them. Once your kids reach a more responsible age, you can consider upgrading them to pricier models, like discount luxury watches.

Children’s watches vary almost as much as adult models, which means you have a wide selection to choose from. I bought my daughter a Mickey Mouse watch a couple of years ago—which she loved—but that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

For example, most boys are just crazy about Transformers watches. These don’t actually transform, but they sort of look like they might, which is enough for most kids! (They let their imaginations cover the rest.) Of course, not all children’s watches are themed—some are almost like adult watches, only smaller and in more childlike colors.

Overall, though, the most important thing is to find out which styles your children like and encourage them to express themselves through their wristwear.

Shopping for timepieces can be so frustrating – it seems the cases and straps I like are never parts of the same watch!

I prefer to build my own watches online, which allows me to easily create the perfect designs for me.

For example, Fossil’s Build a Watch feature lets you mix and match watch cases and straps to find an ideal combination. Also, the program tells you the price, materials, and other info pertaining to each component, so you’ll never be surprised by your final product.

121 Time offers a similar program that allows you to create personalized watches in a variety of styles, from corporate to elegant, drawing from a selection of exclusively Swiss products. You can begin with a base watch and then modify the case, bezel, dial and hands, strap, and even the mechanical movement, or start entirely from scratch.

Blancier’s virtual workshop works the same way, with customizable options right down to the watch stem.

Of course, I’m not always in the mood to create my own watches. I like to mix it up and buy discount luxury watches designed by professionals as well.

I love a good wristwatch, but I was getting tired of the same old silver and gold—and by the way, the prices were starting to wear on me as well. I solved both problems by taking my business to www.MyTimePiece.com, a fantastic resource for discount luxury watches in tons of chic styles!

My first purchase was a super-sleek quartz wristwatch by Chanel with a black strap and black ceramic bezel. It goes with everything!

Over the last year or even last couple of months, there have been SO many cool watches that have come out for dads, or for men in general. For example, the Fossil Automatics is actually a watch that is Eco-friendly. A watch that is Eco-friendly, huh? This watch has NO battery. Cool huh? Instead, it works through various gears in the way that you move. It’s almost like solar where its stored up energy that makes it work. This isn’t anything super technical. When you move, the gears move. The energy is saved up. For just a few hours of you walking around or moving your arm, this stores the energy and will allow the watch to work for two full days without any additional movement.

Comes in a slick “nylon” strap, black, grey and white face and bezel. You also have some really nice vintage watches as well. We aren’t talking about pocket watches here (although those are available too). Instead, I’m talking about something like a Perrelet Automatic Chronograph. I really like the Chronographs for men, it’s just stylish and trendy, but also very classical looking. Stainless steel case, black and white dial, leather strap and auto self winding. While this doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, it screams luxury. It’s just nice to even look at, let alone own! Most of us know that Swiss watches are considered the best, but you also have German watches as well.

In this case, you have this funky little option called the Aeromatic Worldtime Chrono 1328. It’s another Chronograph, but so much more “bling” than the last one. This has a single alarm clock, stop watch, world city ring, screw protected crown ring, leather strap, it’s stainless steel which is really good for men because it’s hard to scratch and its got a great price attached to it. This somewhat looks like something between a divers watch, a business watch and an aviator watch – very classy and sleek, but it’s also very fanciful. Just an overall beaut!

Looking to buy watches? I always shop for fine watches at www.Bacario.com, because the selection is just fantastic. There, I found funky Techno Marine watches for my offbeat fiancé, sporty Chase Durer watches perfect for my little brother, and elegant Charriol watches my mother will love.

When I’m looking for a fine watch for myself, it’s all about Cartier. Available in two colors, the Cartier Santos 100 just drives me wild – the stainless steel case and alligator skin wristband are such sophisticated materials. And roman number hour markers? Very classy.
