Carve Your Path With Red Line

We have discussed a lot of designer watches on The Watchery blog over the past few years, so it still surprises us when we uncover a perfectly competent brand that we have somehow neglected. Like Red Line, the enigmatic watchmaker whose founders claim more than three decades of industry experience. The company's website explains its credo:

"In life there are moments where to "red line" means deciding that the reward on the horizon outweighs the risk; that we are willing to go beyond our comfort zone and strive for greatness."

With "red" in the brand name, you may wonder if the color is ironically absent when it comes to the actual luxury watches. Nope! Every Red Line timepiece is dashed with its namesake, but do not worry. The brand is not blind to good taste. Each watch sports a red crown, and depending on your feelings toward the color, that may be all the red you get. Other more brazen models are saturated in the color, like the Compressor watch for men. Striking, is it not? Those inclined to more neutral tones should not strike out the brand completely, however. Our Red Line collection features enough primary colors to suit any taste!

Save Up to 51% During Our Movado Sale

A cursory Google search for Movado may reveal the watchmaker as an American brand, but while that is ostensibly correct, it is not the full story. Founded in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the Movado watch company relocated to the United States fairly recently in their 130-year history, in 1983. If you know a little Esperanto, you could probably guess that Movado translates to "movement," and their stunning line of quartz movement watches is worth gawking over.

For a limited time, you can save up to 51% on these designer watches through our Movado Timepiece Savings Event. With jaw-dropping watches for men and women, this sale is guaranteed to please anyone with a soft spot for sophisticated fashion.

Consider this Harmony women's timepiece, for instance. Looking something like a gold tuning fork, the stainless steel bracelet is a design to be admired. And light on the flashy jewels, the Harmony is decidedly more minimalistic than its luxury peers, but no less bold. We can definitely see this Movado watch paired well with an elegant evening gown. If you need it this weekend, however, you will have to act soon. At 47% off, the Movado Harmony will not be gracing us with its presence much longer!

TAG Heuer is Always in Vogue

Happy new year, everyone! It is our sincere wish at The Watchery that you all may enjoy a pleasant and prosperous 2013. The previous year was very good to us, as evidenced by the many positive testimonials we received from you. For those, we are genuinely grateful. Please do not hesitate to send us your feedback, good or otherwise.

As is our practice at The Watchery blog, every weekday we like to highlight one particular model that embodies all that we value in luxury watches. And when it comes to top-tier designers, one cannot overlook TAG Heuer watches. For more than a century, the TAG Heuer name has served as the benchmark for chic timepieces that all other watchmakers look to beat. And let us tell you, it is difficult to beat TAG Heuer.

Currently, we have only a select number of TAG Heuer timepieces available in our inventory. These represent the very best that the watchmaker has to offer, and we are certain you will find something that strikes your fancy. From sporty wristwatches to more refined classic styles, every timepiece is discounted from the retail price. Some are even on sale! If your new year's resolution involves looking smart, browse through our TAG Heuer collection today!

A Very Gucci New Year

We hope you all had a merry Wholesale Weekend, but if you happened to have missed out on our wholesale prices bonanza, we always have another savings event next at bat. So sound the kazoos and pour the champagne, friends, because our New Year's Sale is happening now! For 2013, we wish all our blog readers prosperity, happiness, and new designer watches, like the brand new merchandise we have on sale with savings up to 89% off. This New Year's savings event includes some of the most sought-after luxury watches including manufacturers like De Grisogono, Bedat & Co., and Gucci.

With 278 stores operating worldwide, The House of Gucci remains the biggest-selling Italian brand ever. As one of the rare digital watches in our sale, the Gucci 114 Digital watches for men carry a lot of weight with us. Any regular reader of our blog knows our predilection for classic, analogue timepieces, but we could not help but grow fonder of the Gucci 114 the longer we used it. Between the bold red rubber strap and the highly stylized dial, Gucci has come up with one of the trendiest digital watches of this year and the next. Get it with 2nd day delivery for only $5 for a limited time!

Be Bold with a Men's Brasilia

Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity.

So say the experts at Color-Wheel-Pro.com at least, but we are inclined to agree with them, especially when it comes to brilliant red-orange leather strap that holds the Ebel Brasilia watches for men. Now, we realize that we recently covered other Ebel watches, including the Brasilia, but could not see this leather number go away into obscurity.

Make no mistake, this watch is for men. Do not let the encrusted 106 white diamonds sway you into needlessly doubting the timepiece's gender. This Brasilia model is for men, but not for those who allow silly conventions to rule over their lives. Reread the various abstractions that orange represents: creativity, determination, attraction, success. If these words mean anything to you (and we think they do), the leather strapped Brasilia men's watch is guaranteed to confirm that. Be your own man. Be your own person, and opt for an Ebel watch in time for the new year!

Wholesale Weekend: Ebel Brasilia

Woah, what is this--a rare Sunday post? What could be happening at The Watchery? Relax, folks. There is no emergency at Watchery HQ. We simply had to take a break from this wonderful weekend to tell you about our Wholesale Weekend savings event! Until nine o'clock EST tomorrow morning, you can shop our selection of almost 2,000 luxury watches. But what makes this sale special are the wholesale prices. Between Piaget, IWC, and Ebel watches, we carry watches with unbelievably low prices: think up to 95% off the list price!

Speaking of Ebel, we could not live with ourselves if we forwent mentioning this gem of a watch, the Brasilia timepiece. Oh, and did we say gem? If white diamonds are your gemstone of choice, the Brasilia has you covered--in 106 of them! Yes, friends, bookending the stainless steel dial are two tasteful columns of diamonds. Still, it is the inside which matters, right? The silver tone hands and luminous Roman numerals make the Brasilia particularly fetching for any discerning timepiece connoisseur.

Typically, this watch retails for nearly $13,000 but until tomorrow morning, you can snatch up the Ebel Brasilia for just $5.6k, a whole 56% discount!

Late Giving: Philip Stein Signature

Better late than never, right? As of today we are still running our Late Giving promotion, a special savings event for all of you slackers procrastinators really, really thoughtful types out there. We know that some of you are perfectionists when it comes to picking out gifts for friends, so we have done away with the whole scouring process and presented just over 400 luxury watches for you to choose from.

First at bat: the Philip Stein Signature watches for men. Answer honestly now. Have you ever seen a dial this striking? Even the most seasoned timepiece connoisseur would be hard pressed to name a model as bold as this one. Look at the thing! There are five dials--five of them! With two primary watch crowns, you can keep time in your local New York timezone and also stay aware of your Parisian chum's time in +1 GMT. The three subdials can further help elucidate all things clockwise, with default settings for 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 24 hours.

Really, maybe you should buy one for yourself. With two dials and three subdials constantly fixed to your wrist, you probably will not miss any of your Christmas shopping next year!

Christmas Countdown Concluded: Chanel J12

All this week, we have been covering our Countdown to Christmas extravaganza, the last-chance savings event for last-minute gift seekers. For all of the watches we have highlighted (and many more we have not), tomorrow is the absolute last day to order that pair of Breitling watches you have eyed ever since you came in here. At least, if you want to receive it by Christmas Day. So once again, if you place your order on Saturday the 22nd by 12 p.m. EST, you're golden and can expect your watch on Christmas Eve.

Okay, that said, we have one more watch we would like to bring to your attention for the holidays. This one is from Chanel. You might recall the name from Chanel No. 5, the iconic Parisian fragrance and the world's best-selling perfume. Well, as good old-fashioned talent would have it, the Chanel J12 watches for women are no less indicative of the brand's impeccable style. One cannot help but gawk at the marvelous white dial with 12 diamond indices. The sparkling eye-like center of the watch face strikes us as especially alluring. As for the bracelet, the material is white and austere but built with high-tech ceramic and conforms to this year's recent luxury watch trends. If you truly want to surprise the lady in your life, this lovely timepiece is infallible.

Christmas Countdown Cont'd: Panerai Luminor Marina

Yesterday we unveiled a spinoff promotion of our Countdown to Christmas savings event. With just under 40 individual models left, we are still focusing on the last few Cartier, Blancpain, and Panerai luxury watches in our inventory. Of these brands, we have hardly mentioned the Italian-bred, Swiss-made Panerai timepieces. No, not Panera. Panerai. As in Giovanni Panerai, who founded the brand in Florence, Italy in 1860. Let us tell you, in the 150-plus years since the company's inception, Panerai has had no problem staying relevant in the fashion industry.

As one of the more distinguished watches for men in our holiday sale, the Luminor Marina model stands out as a prime example of Panerai's exquisite style and dedication to precision. Really, just look at the titanium bracelet--stronger than almost any steel, but less dense. Also impressive is the date display in the three o'clock position, ingeniously magnified behind a window in all its analogue glory. And then the watch crown! While it is a standard push-pull affair, the protective bar and lever are additions one rarely sees in the designer watch business. Remember, if you really want to impress that suave gentleman in your life, order the Luminor before this Saturday the 22nd and receive it in time for Christmas Day!

New Special on Cartier, Blancpain, and Panerai

So far this week, we have covered a number of select Tag Heuer watches and Breitling watches available during our Countdown to Christmas promotion, meaning if you order any one of these shipshape pieces before this Saturday, December 22, we guarantee that you will receive in time for Christmas Day. This promise applies to more than just Tag Heuer and Breitling, though. Overnight, we debuted a separate page with the same delivery guarantee for Cartier, Blancpain, and Panerai models.

Of particular interest to men is our very last of this special Fifty Fathoms series from Blancpain. Carrying the heritage of a nearly 300-year-old company, this carbon fiber chronograph combines a bold, modern statement with an indisputable reputation. What is most striking about this watch is probably the jumbo-sized bezel. Like a yellow-striped life preserver, it has a lot to protect. The dial features razor sharp black and red hands and three heavily emphasized subdials. Even the case the watch comes in resembles a heavy duty toolbox with a handle, buckles, and the works.

As far as the holiday season is concerned, the best thing about this timepiece and our others during this sale is same day shipping. Make sure you order before 2 p.m. EST to have your watch shipped before the business day is through!

Get It Before Xmas: Breitling Windrider

This week, we are covering just a few of the designer watches available during our Countdown to Christmas celebration. Order any one of these 500 timepieces before this Saturday the 22nd and we guarantee you will receive it in time for Christmas Day morning. Included in this sale are brands for kids like Activa, Dunlop, and Timex but we also carry watchmakers for more refined tastes, such as-- well, Breitling watches.

Breitling comes up frequently on our blog because in 125 years, the Swiss watchmaker still manages to craft some of the best modern luxury watches without losing a flair for the classic. If you truly forced us, we would probably out the Windrider/Cockpit timepieces as our favorite womens watches.

Do not be discouraged by the unwieldy title and model number. MOP Dial? What is that supposed to mean? Relax, last-minute gift seeker. MOP stands for mother of pearl. Also known as nacre, it is the strong, iridescent material that coats pearls and some mollusk shells. The dial refers to the face of the wristwatch--you know, with all of the hands and numbers. Now that you know the dial build, you might also be interested to know that it is encrusted with 40 white diamonds and solid rose gold. Well, we thought it worth mentioning.

Get It Before Xmas: Tag Heuer Grand Carrera

Christmas Eve is just one week away, and you have the nerve to tell us you have neglected to buy gifts for anyone yet? Great! No really, it truly is, because we can guarantee to deliver you the perfect set of designer watches in time for Christmas Day if you order by December 22, or this Saturday. For the Countdown to Christmas, we have cordoned off more than 500 timepieces from distinguished watchmakers like Panerai, Chopard, and Graham.

If you want to access the upper echelon of luxury watches, you cannot reach much higher than Tag Heuer, and at the summit of the brand is their Grand Carrera watch for men. Designed specifically for those wise guys who scoff at fashionable watches, this model is as tough as it is refined. Sporting a quality rubber bracelet, the Grand Carrera series is built for heavy use. Just show off the dial to your token layman if you want to overwhelm someone with beauty and precision. Between the tachometer, caliper scale reading, and the certified chronometer, this watch provides more details at a glance than any single smartphone app could ever dream of matching. Order today to save 30% and wear the watch before the week is over!

Water Resistance Ratings Explained

"Wow, I ordered the Invicta 1846 for my husband for his birthday - thinking what an amazing watch - he will love it. Part of me was thinking that this was too good to be true but the product turned up within a week and I am blown away by it - it is stunning. Thank you for an awesome online purchasing experience - I'll be back for one for myself now."

We received this customer testimonial only this month, and we could not be prouder. Within the line of Invicta watches, the 1846 style is one of our very favorites. As a Russian diver watch, this item is extremely durable and sports a distinctive canteen style construction with a chain and screw-cap watch crown. For water resistance, the 1846 receives a 5 ATM rating. Now what does that mean?

ATM is a unit of atmospheric pressure, and in this case it refers to the amount of pressure a watch can endure before it starts leaking. At 5 ATM, this Invicta watch has been tested to 50 meters or 165 feet and can be worn in the shower or in shallow water. Remember, if you wear any luxury watches without clear ATM ratings, you should not risk wearing them in water.

Board the U-Boat Trend

In English, the word U-boat refers to the German submarines used during the first and second World Wars. Translated from unterseeboot (literally "undersea boat" as you can probably guess), the German vessels gained notoriety for their rugged build and deadly accuracy. Today you can use those very same words to describe U-Boat watches.

The Flightdeck series from U-Boat is one of the most distinguished lines we have seen, and right now we have three of the last Flightdeck models in our inventory. Each one includes free shipping and substantial savings. At 50% off, the 5324 style boasts the most dramatic discount. And check out the over-sized crown on that thing! Everything about this watch is bold and aggressively confident. The large indices and military-type numerals at the four, eight, and twelve o'clock mark particularly stand out, even within the exclusive Flightdeck line. The ever-cycling second subdial just left of the three o'clock position also operates quite nicely.

If you want a bit more color on your luxury watches, the two other U-Boats feature prominent white and silver tones to brighten up your wrist. Not to mention with the durable rubber straps with leather inlays, 30% off has never looked so slick!

A Rotary For The 21st Century

Did you grow up with a rotary telephone? Whether you entered adolescence with a candlestick phone or your own personal cell, you surely know what we are talking about. The phone with the finger dial is such a ubiquitous image, everyone has seen one in the movies if not in person. If you are new to the world of luxury watches however, you might not recognize the brand Rotary Watches Ltd. Let us tell you that you should.

Predating the traditional rotary phone by at least 10 years, Rotary Watches was founded in the late 19th century in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. After tapping into a lucrative market in Great Britain, Rotary became the official watchmaker for the British Army in 1940. Today the brand is still wildly popular and has since permanently relocated its head office to the United Kingdom.

We have dozens of new Rotary models waiting for you at The Watchery. If what you seek lies between modern style and a classic lineage, the Rotary Evolution TZ3 is absolutely perfect. Unlike other mens watches, the Evolution series features a dependable textured rubber strap but with a rose gold case and hands, removing any doubt of the a reputable designer behind the watch.

Silver & 18-Carat Gold Bedat & Co. Watches

Yesterday, we went over the silver half of our Silver and Gold special with a dashing men's watch by Cartier, so today it feels perfectly fitting to highlight a positively smashing gold timepiece for women. In addition to Breitling watches, real gold adorns the cases of several more affordable brands as well like Rotary, Jacques Lemans, Croton, and Activa, so you should never ever feel that all of our luxury watches are completely out of reach.

But, say you are looking for something a bit higher up on the designer scale. Well, step over here and meet our friend from Bedat & Co., the 18-carat gold No. 7. And no, the gold is not confined to a the minuscule crown on the right. First, check the case; the back is made of solid yellow gold. The true focal point of course is the extravagant rose gold bezel encrusted with dozens of genuine white diamonds. Need we go on?

The watch face itself is refreshingly charming in its turn-of-the-century inspired design. Like a vintage magazine ad, the hands and diamond numerals elicit hopeless nostalgia. Well, that and inevitable envy in all those unfortunate enough to not own a Bedat & Co. No. 7!

Save on our Silver and Gold Special

You know that old song that Burl Ives sings in the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special from the sixties? No, not that one, but the one where he goes: "Silver and gold / Silver and gold / Ev'ryone wishes / For silver and gold." Yeah, you know it. Well, lucky for you, The Watchery is currently running a stunning savings event specifically for gold and silver watches-- and all of them come with free shipping!

Included among the 757 luxury watches on sale are a few of our most prized designers, such as Bedat & Co., Maurice Lacroix, Baume & Mercier, and Breitling watches. Many of our higher end timepieces are the very last in our inventory, so we suggest all curious gift hunters to shop with agility and precision. Of special interest to continental collectors is the Ballon Bleu De Cartier for men, a highly acclaimed watch only available within the United States.

So where is the silver?  Why, the whole dial is crafted with a silvered finish, right between the black genuine alligator straps. Slide it on and you and your colleagues will surely take note of the bold blued steel sword hands and the simple date display at the nine o'clock mark. Well, those and every other part of the watch!

Last Minute Luxury: Breitling Navitimer

On our homepage, you might notice a new section labeled "Featured Watches," which sports a decuplet (or group of ten, if you prefer) of discounted luxury watches from some of the finest brands in our current inventory including Bulgari, Cartier, Swiss Legend, Invicta, and others. We curated this selection for the discerning gift shoppers who are constantly on the go. Listen, we understand how busy you are, which is why we assembled this Last Minute Luxury For Less page: the crème de la crème of designer watches.

Near the top of this selection are the various Breitling watches on display. Our personal pick today is the Navitimer Chrono-Matic 49 series or A1436002/Q556 for the model number aficionados out there. While the dial is difficult to ignore, we cannot help but be drawn toward the textured mesh bracelet made of stainless steel. Luminous is a word commonly tossed around within the timepiece market, but we believe the band here truly warrants the adjective. 

Of course, the dial is certainly no slouch either. The Navitimer remains one of the few watches that can claim official certification from the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) so while you will likely never run out of features to brag about to your colleagues, you can always pull that one out.

This Week Only: Baume & Mercier Are Up To 74% Off

Yesterday, we introduced our limited-time sale on several Ebel watches, but we regretfully did not adequately go over the other brand that shares this one-week savings event: Baume & Mercier. What an utter disservice! So today we hope to make amends by focusing entirely on B&M, the unsung watchmakers of our time-- or something like that.

Priced within the same general realm as Ebel watches, Baume & Mercier produce as fine a product as all other luxury watches you might encounter in a fine jewelry store. The Baume name alone can be traced back to the 1500s, and has since carried an unparalleled reputation for quality craftsmanship and timeless beauty. Just take this one, the Classima Executive for men. Trust us, you will not find any street vendors hawking off anything like this from their trench coat lapels. As the name explicitly states, the Executive is for men who exhibit authority and a consummate sense of style.The silver hands and Roman numerals on deep black emanate pure sophistication.

We currently have very few of this model left in our inventory, so heed our advice, our fellow watch fiends. The Classima Executive will not last until the end of the year!
