Make Sure Your Luxury Watch Is Authentic

Leave a comment

Investing in a luxury watch is a big commitment, and while here at The Watchery we guarantee authenticity, no matter where you purchase it we want to make sure you are getting what you paid for. Here are a few steps you should consider when checking designer watches for authenticity.

fake luxury watch

1. Know the Brand, Know the Details. Every quality brand has trademarks of their make that you should know about. For example, Rolex gets its name in part by the unique movement apparatus and it’s smooth hand movement. If you hear a ticking sound, you know it’s a fake.

2. Inspect the Engraving. A quick way to reassure yourself that the brand new watch you’re buying is in fact brand new, is a quick look to any etchings on the back of the face or band. You’re looking for smudges, typos or substitutions that are a dead give-away that the watch is not what you want.

3. Be Sure to See the Movement. Ask to remove the back case and see the movement of the watch. Lacking mechanical movement is typical of counterfeits or low quality watches. If you have become especially acquainted with your brand, you’ll be even more knowledgeable about having the correct movement as well.

We hope this helps you the next time you’re shopping for men’s or women’s watches! You worked hard for your timepiece. You should only accept the best.

Leave a comment

Bell & Ress Men's Luxury WatchA lot of well respected brand name watches have similar stories. Centuries old, tales of Switzerland and signature designs anyone can recognize. A lot of times, designer watch customers are also in the mood to stand out, considering they are making a considerable investment in an accessory that represents a message more than it is for telling time. In these instances, there are a collection of new names in the ring against the big companies that just might be up your alley. Today we’re putting the spotlight on Bell & Ross, a relatively young company from France making excellent luxury watches.

Launching in 1992, the first watches from Bell & Ross were designed to replicate an instrument from an airplane cockpit. The unique style of their work reflects four principles of design. These are water resistance, accurate mechanical movement, clear visuals, and special function for specific use.

The pictured watch is a men’s aviation black dial rubber on plated stainless steel. A standout of aviation watches, these are rugged, dependable and not to mention stunning on the wrist. Perfect for the adventurer in your life, Bell & Ross watches are an excellent gift choice when you want it to stand out and be something they will treasure.

Incredible Deals on Invicta Designer Watches

Leave a comment

Invicta Men's Corduba ChronographOne of the common tips given to people who aren’t sure what kind of watch they should buy is to not shop to impress anyone. Often we have a set budget but want something that makes a statement as well as being functional, especially if we have a luxury watch in mind. We understand that there are many gaudy, over-jeweled designs going for exorbitant prices made popular by rappers and the like, but that doesn’t mean that designer watches should be off the table. Even though many advice lists like to push function over form, at the end of the day we all like to look nice and a watch is often a fashion accessory rather than simply a timepiece.

If you’re shopping for men’s watches or women’s watches on a budget under $400 you might think that the highly regarded brand names are out of the question. That simply just is not the case, and we have a page of amazing deals on Invicta watches to prove it. The US-based watch group is originally from Switzerland, founded in 1871, traditionally specialized in modest-priced watches but dramatically changed the quality around the quartz movement revolution in the 1970s.

Make sure you check out all our great deals on Invicta watches when considering a quality piece, you won’t regret it.
