In 2013, Swatch once again paved the way with the introduction of its automatic Sistem51 movement.
These varied, originally quartz lifestyle watches made of plastic once revolutionised and ultimately saved the Swiss watch industry – and captivated entire generations of collectors early on. Reference number: Black – SY23S400, Blue – SY23S403 Swatch Irony Sistem51 Petite Seconde 42mm – for 210 euros This is because once you gain an enthusiasm for watchmaking, you will always find new goals, dreams and timepieces. Each of these watches will be an experience, but you should also be aware that there is a high probability that you will not just be buying this one watch.
So, the criteria is plain and simple the perfect way to start. All of the watches are powered by automatic or handwound movements, because it is the fascination with mechanical movements that sooner or later turns a watch novice into an enthusiast. Most of these watches are produced industrially, but manufactured to perfection. In addition, they are all timepieces made of steel, because this metal is by far the most popular material, is highly resistant, and ages well over time. They are all watches from Swiss brands – after all, this is Swisswatches Magazine. This first part of our Buyer’s Guide For Watches focuses on models in a price segment that ranges up to 1,000 euros. These are watches that are not just cheap, but one hundred percent worth their given price. Therefore, in the following three articles, we will present watches that – although considered “entry-level models” due to their price – combine a great deal of know-how, as well as decades of development and experience. What’s more, a few hundred years ago, owning a mechanical watch was something incredibly special and rare, with watchmakers such as Abraham-Louis Breguet designing watches for kings and emperors alike.įortunately, today, anyone can find a beautiful timepiece to suit their own budget and taste. A focus on high performance makes the industry stand out – an industry which doesn’t only cater for the collector elite, but also everyday life, along with the requirements that every good watch should have. There are timepieces with which one could dive to the bottom of the deepest ocean, which combine as many complications as possible, which are ultra-exclusive and rare, and ones that leave every watch enthusiast dreaming of them. The fascination with watchmaking is characterised by superlatives.
