High End Watch Brands
When it comes to high end watches there is little doubt about who is who in the watchmaking industry and which brands manufacture the best and the most desirable watches. Many high end watch brands have become a synonym for wealth and prestige and are often considered a status symbol. On the other hand, some of the most expensive watches are viewed as works of art rather than just timepieces.
If the Italians are number one in design, furniture and sports cars, the Swiss have no rivals when it comes to high end and luxury watches. The most recognized and appreciated high end watch brands are based in Switzerland and the common saying “running like a Swiss watch” which is a very popular phrase to emphasize precision, reliability and perfection in nearly all world’s languages says a lot about the Swiss watchmakers.
The most recognized and desirable high end watch brands are virtually exclusively Swiss watchmakers with a long tradition. Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet - you name it - they are all Swiss watch brands. Mentioned high end and luxury watch brands and some others Swiss manufacturers which are perhaps less known but any less prestigious, fascinating and of course expensive are the height of both mechanical engineering and design and the best you can find on the world’s market when it comes to high end and luxury watches.
