Holiday Spotlight: Gucci Square Watches

Some watches are classics, which is granted, right? They never go out of style. Once those 19th century geniuses shrunk their grandfather clocks, threaded some straps, and wrapped their wrists, the basic designs stayed the same. On analogue watches, we mean.

Thankfully, watchmakers have been more inventive than that. We still have esteemed manufacturers crafting incredible new designer watches year after year. And with all of these new arrivals making their debut in our ongoing holiday sale, you are sure to find something fresh and novel to suit your tastes today.

The Gucci label is renown for extraordinary fashion accessories and their line of womens watches completely validate their reputation. If you feel skeptical, take a look at the Steel Brown Dial to the right. Have you honestly seen a more confident design? Talk about the minimalist aesthetic, this timepiece strikes out the 3, 6, 9, and 12 markers altogether. Moreover, you will not find your traditional Arabic or even Roman numerals on this item. No sir, Gucci opted for simple lines here. We especially like how the watch constricts into a narrow band, as if a calfskin snake swallowed a really high-end wristwatch--and we mean that in a good way.

One Week Only Savings on Bürgi

Day 4: Cyber Monday continues. Again. Discounts still up to 90% off. Not sure how long this will last. Another couple hundred luxury watches were added to the savings event today. When will it end? So many watches, watches, watches. . .

That might be our journal entry if we were stranded on a desert island with only timepieces for sustenance, but as it is written: "A person shall not live by Cyber Monday alone, but by every designer watch that proceedeth out of thou Watchery." Or something like that. So yes, while Cyber Monday marches on, we have plenty of other things to talk about. Like our one week only Bürgi holiday sale.

We have not properly covered Bürgi before, which is a gross disservice as the brand makes some of the most exceptional womens watches anywhere. Take a gander at this beautiful White Mother of Pearl Dial. You will not find a bolder watch face than the extremely stylized Roman numerals on full display here. The four radiant white diamonds are nothing to scoff at either, not to mention the dazzling crystals that encircle the bezel. This is the perfect timepiece for a night on the town or a quiet evening at home.

Cyber Monday Savings Continue, Again!

Okay. How about everyone just relaxes for a bit. Take a deep breath and all that, yeah? Honestly, we are not quite sure how to announce this to everybody so give us a moment. Cyber Monday happened, that was documented. And then Cyber Monday repeated itself yesterday, you all know that. Well, allow us to just come out with it then: our extended Cyber Monday sale continues today. Yes, believe it, folks. Two days later and we still have more than 500 luxury watches on sale. And we are still adding new products on a daily basis. Who knows what may happen next? We will just roll right along here then.

We assume you have heard the phrase, "Like clockwork," but have you ever seen a maxim in real life? This timepiece from Maurice Lacroix is that idiom manifested. Unlike most mens watches, this Masterpiece model provides a rare view into the inner workings of an exceptional designer wristwatch. All of the intricate gears and cogs are on brilliant display and with a solid 18k gold case, the answer to, "Hey, what time is it?" has never had a better stage. Go on and show it off. No one is that modest.

Cyber Monday Savings Continue Today!

And some said it could never happen. Cyber Monday? So, like, only one whole day of deals, and then gone? No more? That sounds terrible! We thought so too, so we broke free of the all-too-inhibiting 24-hour cycle and extended our Cyber Monday sale. Sure, today might ostensibly be called Tuesday, but for us, this is still Monday in spirit, with all of the cyber deals and none of the Monday blues.

Pulled into the spotlight today is one of our most beloved mens watches: the Masterpiece Mechanical GMT Retrograde from Maurice Lacroix. This timepiece certainly is not for everyone; only the most discerning connoisseur would be caught alive wearing this. All you need to do is look at the watch face to know why.

This is not your father's wristwatch. And your hip uncle who is only 12 years older than you-- sorry, but he could not pull this off either. These specific luxury watches are irrevocably modern, here, now, at this moment. The strap is deep black and genuine alligator leather while the face is a swirling blend of professional monochrome colors. Between the luminous single subdial and ornate calendar system, saving 70% off is almost secondary!

Save Up to 90% Today on Cyber Monday

As far as we are concerned, this right here--today, on Cyber Monday--is the absolute best time to save on luxury watches. We currently have nearly 800 timepieces included in this one-time savings bonanza. These are some of our most prestigious designers too, brands like Maurice Lacroix, Breitling, Momo, Glycine, Swiss Legend, Lucien Piccard, Jean Richard, and Clerc womens watches. Yes, that Clerc, the one from 1874. Not sure if they are still relevant? Let us convince you otherwise.

The CXX Scuba 2.94 CTTW is our most prized Clerc watch on sale today. The list price starts things off at $18,900. Pretty exorbitant, no? We usually sell the piece for $4,999--already a dramatic discount--but just for today, we thought we would cut it down some more, so we did. Another thousand later and you can pick this watch up for only $3,999, or 79% off the original retail price.

Talk about stones. This Clerc watch contains 306 white diamonds spread out between the dial, bezel, and lugs. One hundred sixty-five there, 117 over there, and--oh yes, there are also 32 genuine rubies that make up the indices. Glamour has never been summed up so nicely in one fashion accessory.

Save Big with Our Breitling Savings Event

Of all of the designer brand names that populate our collection, Breitling are among our personal top tier list without a doubt. Originally founded by--who else--Léon Breitling in 1884, the company is headquarted in Grenchen, Canton of Solthum, or Switzerland to the rest of us. What is perhaps most endearing about the brand is that many of their timepieces continue to use mechanical automatic winding systems in lieu of modern electronics. And lucky for you, for one week only, you can purchase one of these famous luxury watches for up to 64% off the retail list price!

Many of our high end Breitling watches are the last ones in stock, but fortunately we still have a few of this model: the Navitimer Automatic Mechanical Chrono Silver Dial for men. Sporting a light brown, genuine leather strap, this watch is made for the everyday adventurer. Whether you are hacking through vines deep in the Amazon rainforest or hosting a slideshow in the executive boardroom, the Navitimer will never look out of place on you. The watch face itself is one of the most technically impressive that we have ever seen. With three intricate subdials and a near dizzying amount of time markers, the Navitimer is sure to please. And at 57% off, we guarantee it!

We're Thankful for You This Year

We always welcome feedback from our customers, so please feel free to email us anytime at customerservice [at] TheWatchery [dot] com. And in honor of Thanksgiving, we thought it only appropriate to turn around to thank every one of our faithful patrons over the years. Here is a particularly pleasant message we received recently.

I just wanted to take this time to thank you. It has been truly a pleasure dealing with you. I ordered the Invicta 1244 for my son. I ordered on a Friday and I was pleased to receive it that following Thursday. It was a joy in knowing that I had'nt been scammed. When I opened the the case, the watch was immaculate--everything I had hoped for. My son went crazy when he saw it, so thank you again Watchery. I will definitely be doing business with you again.

-- T. Holman, October 2012

As far as luxury watches go, Invicta is one of our very favorite brands. Crafted with technical precision and beautiful accents, any watch off the Invicta line would make the perfect gift this holiday season. As our customer Holman can attest, mens watches are a delight to unwrap and we strive to deliver them quickly and affordably all year round.

Pre-Black Friday Sale: 6-Slot Watch Winder

Yesterday, our blog went over our very exciting Pre-Black Friday savings event and today we would very much like to do it again. You see, the sale is exciting not only because we currently have more than 800 discount luxury watches, including your favorite designers like Lucien Piccard, Swiss Legend, and Red Line. Much more than that, a good number of these timepieces feature remarkable prices. You may want to sit down in case you are using one of those weird, standing office desks before we tell you that some of our best-selling men's and womens watches are 94% off. With discounts that extraordinary, perhaps you will find yourself picking up more than one, and maybe a few for yourself. If that happens, we have just the product for you and guess what--it is also part of our exclusive advance sale.

Meet your new best friend, the Collectors Multi-Function Black 6-Slot Watch Winder. For the serious watch aficionado, what is the point in owning a bunch of beautiful watches if you cannot flaunt them from time to time? Or every second? With an acrylic window and six winder slots, the Watch Winder is the perfect way to display your rare and most beautiful pieces.

Our Pre-Black Friday Sale Is Going on Now!

Quick, what do you call the savings event before Black Friday? To be honest, we were not too sure ourselves, but that hardly means you cannot save big on our most prized Breitling watches during our Pre-Black Friday Sale right now.

We mentioned a specific brand, Breitling, for a reason. Take a look at the Windrider Automatic/Mechanical Chrono White Diamond Dial to the right. That sounds like a mouthful, no? Those are a lot of words and usually those words together equal a lot of greenbacks. The going retail price is over $10,000. The going Watchery price cuts it to about six-and-a-half. Already we have a major improvement, but for this week's sale we have driven the price down even further to under $4,500, or as we like to call it, 57% off the list price!

In the rarefied air that Breitling mens watches occupy, the Windrider series stands as one of the best. The bezel itself is a sight to behold. Featuring 40 individual encrusted white diamonds and solid 18k gold accents, the unidirectional stainless steel rim surrounds luminous hands and some of the most intricate subdials we have ever seen. Expect several gifts as compensation if you place this under the tree this season.

Satisfaction Guaranteed...Seriously

As you browse the web searching for that one-of-a-kind food processor or sports-themed snuggie you just absolutely need, you likely see the phrase "Satisfaction Guaranteed" slapped on the webpage of just about any online retailer. However, at a reputable luxury watch company such as The Watchery, we take great pride in our translucency. Or in layman's terms, we have no problem telling you in detail why we guarantee such satisfaction.

We have been sourcing watches from all over the world since early 1997, so we are not exactly new to this business.

If you want to talk to one of our in-house watch experts or simply want to know more about The Watchery, give us a call at 866-752-3681. We are happy to remind you why we are one of the most satisfying places to shop for luxury watches on the web.

Boost Style with a Slip of the Wrist

deb·o·nair /ˌdebəˈne(ə)r/

Adjective:

(of a man) Confident, stylish, and charming.

"Debonair" is one of our favorite words. Try easing it into a conversation sometime. Or if that proves too daunting, try using it in your ongoing interior dialogue. "Debonair" may not be as widely spoken as say, "cool" or "awesome," but really, the word carries more cultural clout that way. And if you would like to hear the word whispered in your presence more often, we have just the thing.

Ebel watches are renown for their high-end craftsmanship and the Sport Classique series only confirms their reputation. Let us examine the Silver Dial. Our eyes immediately gravitate toward the 18k rose gold frame surrounding the needle-thin hands and timeless Roman numerals. The two-tone color scheme of gold and silver seems trite at first, but Ebel manages to meld them together into something suave and fitting.

What rivals the watch face is the bracelet itself. Mens watches generally shy away from light, wavy patterns, but the silver textured band here simply demands to be flaunted. Slip the Classique over your wrist and you will already fit the "stylish" part of being debonair. We guarantee it will not take long for charm and confidence to naturally follow.

Enjoy Big Savings on Stuhrling Original

The designs of the Swiss are an integral part of the history of luxury watches and Stuhrling Original is one of the many brands proudly upholding their reputation. With shining timepieces, both traditional and abstract, Stuhrling Original has something for all types of watch lovers. The Watchery is proud to offer big discounts on this unique brand, making it more affordable than ever to enjoy the signature style only made possible by the Swiss.

Stuhrling Original watches span the full spectrum of quality timepieces, starting with their Trackmaster mens watch. This Swiss Quartz chronograph watch provides a fresh take on a Swiss classic, complete with a genuine leather strap and stainless steel case. If you are looking to turn heads with your wrist-wear, the appropriately-named Mad Man watch boasts a loud, artistic style perfect for fans of fun fashion. There is no shortage of stunning womens watches from Stuhrling's expansive collection, including the expressive Lady Nemo watch, as well as the classy Regatta timepiece.

While these striking Swiss watches look like they are worth a fortune, we are excited to sell this top brand for up to 87% off. If you are looking to make an impression with your timepiece, few brands make it as easy to do so as Stuhrling Original.

Save on Three Brands This Week Only

Now that we are firmly clamped between Federal holidays, we have slipped in a special sales event here at The Watchery, because who wants to wait to save, anyway?

For this week only, we are clearing out some of our most esteemed watch brands, with savings ranging from 65% to 79% off the retail list price. Incidentally, all three of our highlighted watchmakers this week come from a different part of the world. Let us examine them, shall we?

1. Cuervo Y Sobrinos: We will skip the literal translation. All you really need to know is that Cuervo Y Sobrinos has earned the nickname "Pearl of the Caribbean" and was founded in 1882. Since then, its striking mens watches have attracted the likes of several 20th century luminaries.
2. Dubey & Schaldenbrand: This Swiss company began in 1946 and enjoyed something of a renaissance in the mid-nineties. Now the brand specializes in several automatic movement watches for men and continues to serve those ultra discerning individuals.
3. Graham: The most venerable brand emphasized in our sale, Graham can be traced back to the 18th century and prides itself on a distinctly English sense of taste. Their chronographs, specifically, are an absolute wonder to behold.

Keep It Simple and Stylish with Lacoste

When you hear the name "Lacoste," you likely think of premium footwear, eyeglasses, and those iconic tennis shirts. Their dedication to fine apparel spills into the world of luxury watches as well, as their sleek timepieces make a perfect complement to their trademark clothing.

The Tokyo model reflects Lacoste's stylish simplicity and is available in models for both men and women. With a durable silicone strap, this water and scratch-resistant watch features an understated clock design and the iconic alligator logo that marks all of Lacoste's high-end products. If you seek something a little less sporty, the Biarritz women's watch boasts a stainless steel case and bracelet with the same 30-meter water resistance as the Tokyo.

From t-shirts to shoes, the Lacoste brand has become famous for providing apparel that is just as attractive and functional in the gym as it is at a big night out at a restaurant or club. Their line of luxury watches are no exception. Lacoste watches help you look good no matter where you are without breaking the bank. Our selection of Lacoste watches are available at great discounts, but we have a limited supply. Act fast if you want to wear these one-of-a-kind timepieces!

Browse Our New Arrivals for the Best Brand Names

At The Watchery, we are dedicated to more than just providing you with great prices on top-of-the-line luxury watches. In an industry that is always innovating, we understand the importance of keeping current. That is why our "New Arrivals" section is always loaded with some of the best brand name watches in the business.

One quick look at our new arrivals and you will likely be entranced by the shine of the industry-leading brands we carry. Among our many alluring new arrivals is the Invicta DNA watch, which marries Invicta's classic, durable construction with a modern brown camouflage clock design. We just received an assortment of Phillipe Starck men's and women's watches, which boast a sporty, contemporary visual style to complement your outerwear. If it is vintage style you seek, our new arrivals include the Swiss Legend Legato Cirque men's watch, an eye-grabbing and dynamic timepiece.

These quality watches are just a few examples of the great brand name watches that are constantly being added to our new arrivals section. And even though The Watchery offers some of the latest and greatest luxury watches in the industry, we are happy to offer discounts as deep as 90% on all of our unforgettable products.

Treat Yourself with Our Pre-Holiday Sale

Now that we are in the post-Election season (and relieved of those relentless political ads), we can finally bask in the lull before the major holidays of November and December set in, if only for a moment. But for those who want to rest easy before Thanksgiving--or even Veterans Day--we have a custom-fitted event for you: the Pre-Holiday Buyers Event. Apt title, no?

This special sports enormous discounts, with savings up to 94% off. But the prices alone are secondary compared to these striking, original luxury watches on display. Exhibit A: the fabulous Stella chronograph for ladies. Like all Fossil watches, this piece is all class and an essential fashion accessory. The light blush dial and aluminum bracelet are practical enough for boardroom meetings, without sacrificing that natural feminine beauty unique to the watch.

No one could ever accuse a Stella wearer of being too superficial. At the center of the timepiece, both figuratively and literally, are the pristine 60-second, 60-minute, and 24-hour subdials. The miniature hands and faces not only balance the watch perfectly, but offer authenticity and credibility. Plus, how many of your designer watches include an accurate tachymeter scale? Chances are, you are long overdue for one.

Save Big on Timeless Movado Watches

With a rich history of quality watches dating back to 1881, Swiss brand Movado is one of the most unique and experienced watch manufacturers in the industry. Their products effortlessly blend a timeless, understated design, while remaining eye-grabbing enough for the average watch enthusiast.

What began as a small business started by 19-year-old entrepreneur Achilles Ditesheim evolved into a worldwide operation that creates some of the finest luxury watches around. Take one glance at our wide assortment of Movado watches and you will see a signature simplistic clock design wrapped in elegant wristbands made of the finest materials. Perhaps the ultimate example of this unique brand name watch is the Movado Museum, a consistent top-seller that boasts a stainless steel wristband with gold accents. Those looking for a more modern variation on the classic Movado men's watch design can check out the Fiero watch, which wraps the time-tested Movado design around a more contemporary shell, which will complement any kind of attire. Movado also manufactures some great women's watches that reinvent their subtle, artistic look.

Even for a brand that boasts such high class as Movado, the Watchery is still happy to provide huge discounts on our products. With great deals all throughout our selection, you will find some Movado watches for half the price of retail. Looking great has never cost less.

Side with a New Watch This Election Day

It is Election Day here in the United States and there is something electric in the air. We can feel it. Absentee ballots are already en route and polling places are cycling through scores of voters by the minute. The electoral process at work--exhilarating, is it not?

In honor of living democracy, The Watchery is hosting a special Election Day savings event. For a limited time, you can save big on more than 400 styles of luxury watches, including Maurice Lacroix, Panerai, and Frederique Constant.

Of particular interest to our blog readers may be the large selection of Ebel watches on sale this week, like the Sportwave Automatic White Dial. This timepiece exemplifies both athleticism and sophistication. The band is ultra functional with stainless steel ribbing and a standard deployment clasp. The neutral black and silver color scheme makes the watch perfect for all-day wear. From the conference room meeting to the post-work tennis pickup match, the Sportwave makes easy transitions between business and leisure.

This Election Day, you can save 59% off the list price on this watch and up to 89% on others, along with our customary free shipping. Rest assured, our watch candidates never waver!

Enjoy Our Luxury Watches for Less

Here at The Watchery, you have likely come to expect the best luxury watches, divers watches, and diamond watches the industry has to offer. However, we firmly believe top-of-the-line quality does not have to equate to over-the-top prices. For this reason, we have hundreds of great watches in our clearance section, where you can save up to 90% off on top watch brands.

Have you been looking to buy a new Invicta watch but simply have not had the cash? Our clearance section features the Invicta Women's Subaqua watch for only $155, which is a deep 87% discount from its original price of $895. Need something sleek and stylish for the men in your life? You can nab a Swiss Legend Men's Conqueror watch for only $109, a huge markdown from its retail value of $595.

These are just a few examples of the treasure trove of discount luxury watches available on our site. With the holidays approaching, our clearance section gives you a great opportunity to save big on a watch for your loved ones. Just make sure not to tell them you shopped in the sale section--it might diminish the jubilant joy they will receive from one of our watches!

Shop with Peace of Mind This Holiday Season

With the holiday season fast approaching, you have likely already started planning what to buy and where to shop for your loved ones. And while buying gifts online prevents you from having to deal with the horde-like behavior of the general shopping populace, there is always the fear that items ordered online will not ship in time for gift-giving ceremonies. Or even worse: What if your loved one is absolutely appalled by the luxury watch that you just spent a fortune on?

Here at The Watchery, we understand your concerns. That is exactly why we implemented some generous holiday policies to make sure your gift-giving process goes smoothly while you celebrate the season. Whether you are looking to get a friend or family member a new ceramic watch or Swiss watch, all orders placed before December 19th include free standard shipping, with a two-day shipping option available for only $5. And in the rare case that they do not like their new watch, all orders placed up until December 31st are eligible for a refund until January 31st.

Few things make as good a gift as a great watch does. Here at the Watchery, we want to save you the danger of crowded malls, while ensuring you total peace of mind with free and fast shipping. This way, you can focus on finding the perfect watch to make your loved ones happy.

Timeless Timepieces: Flyback Chronograph Watches

Allow us to begin this week's blog post with a brief disclaimer. We think digital watches are just fine, really they are. Different strokes for different timepieces. But look at this one to the right and tell us that it is not one of the finest divers' watches you have ever seen. Go on, try.

There is something truly remarkable about the flyback chronograph watches from Blancpain. Although Breitling and Longines pioneered the flyback in the early 20th century (and we certainly would not want to take that away from them), for us, the Air Command watches are as good as they come.

The Air Command series of watches are meticulously crafted with the special F-185 caliber, the smallest self-winding chronograph movement in the world. The Fifty Fathoms GMT model you see here incorporates 308 total parts and components in its movement, making it the apex of both function and style.

As this is a true divers' watch, the back, crown, and pushpieces are all screw locked, with guaranteed water resistance up to nearly 1,000 feet. A staple of pilots of the 1930s, this watch is built for regular use and is sure to be a mainstay for another 80 years.

Go Ceramic with Akribos

Within the world of luxury watches, many connoisseurs and dilettantes examine ceramic watches with an air of reluctance, if not distaste. Ceramic watches, really? Still, ceramic has been used in timepieces for some time, in either the bezel or the band (nowadays, sometimes both), and while we at The Watchery committed ourselves to a life of watch devotion long ago, we are certainly not snobs about it. If anything, we like to be inclusive!

Enter the XXIV, a glittery quartz watch from Akribos. This stunning timepiece for women features sparkling Arabic numerals accented on the sunray dial, as well as two rows of authentic crystals on the bezel. But wait, what about the ceramic? Where is it? Fear not, ceramic lovers. There are indeed ceramic inserts that form the bracelet of the watch, along with the base metal.

We may not be convinced that ceramic will take the place of steel, but we definitely approve of its function in this particular piece. The crystals combined with the teal color scheme truly form a luminescence that we find impossible to ignore. And with a price as low as 77% off, we truly cannot look away! Wear this and wow all your steel-toting friends!
