DeWitt Watches An Opposition to All Traditions
November 7, 2011
When we talk about Swiss watches, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it “tradition”? Forget about traditions. It is not very often that new watchmakers enter the sophisticated rounds of Swiss Haute Horlogerie – the world that is dominated by old and established brands. Still, designer Jerome DeWitt took the courage and dared the cult of tradition by launching his own company that would do things differently. DeWitt watches made a debut at the Basel World fair in 2003. Now in 2009 just short of its six-year anniversary, the young watchmaker has not only survived the fierce competition but also proved that traditions do not really matter when it comes to Swiss watches.
Lena is a bit more modest priced (if $10,Cartier Replica,000 is modest for you) – it has a 48mm stainless steel case and an automatic movement.,Hublot Replica, despite the richness of traditions and a spotless image,Rolex Watches Replica, use an improvised conveyor, where each worker completes a certain part or detail. In the end, it takes maybe ten or more people to complete a single watch. This is not something that is acceptable at the DeWitt watches laboratories. Each worker,Gucci Replica, or should I really say magician, starts the watch from scratch and builds the sophisticated mechanism up until it is finished and ready to be boxed. It is a marvelous relationship between a human and a mechanism – a perfect harmony between the technology and passion. When finished, the watchmaker then puts his unique stamp of authenticity on the amazing art object.

How And Why Wrist Watches Were First Created
September 29, 2011
The first watches were pocket watches used by rich men. A popular fashion item among gentry they were kept in the top pocket of a long waistcoat. They were also extremely large and bulky back then.
The first wristwatches were worn by women as fashion accessories. They were small and designed to look delicate on a female’s wrist. As many new fashion statements are they were very expensive and worn primarily by society women in order to show off their wealth. Surprisingly they were not considered practical and rather just a fad that people would soon get bored with. Of course this was not the case.
Wristwatches really started to be used as a practical item during the Boer war and even then it could be claimed that it was accident. What they actually did was strap their pocket watches around their wrists in order to be able to tell the time quickly. These were found so practical on the battlefield that it became mandatory to wear them on the wrist.
It was not until 1915 when Rolex decided it the right time to introduce them into the market. These wristwatches came with leather straps and much like the watches today they had a buckle to fasten them. These proved to be a huge success and the age the wristwatch was born.
The real turn around for watches again was the war. Heroes were returning from the Great War sporting wristwatches and an item deemed originally to be for women suddenly had masculine connotations. Again it was Rolex that took the initiative and introduced a line of wristwatches solely for men. It soon became apparent that wristwatches were far more practical than pocket watches and they quickly took over the market place.
The next significant change was Quartz watches in the 1970s. With the computer age looming these watches seems incredibly futuristic. Initially they were expensive,Datejust Replica, but the more popular they became the more the price came down and before long every hip youngster had one.
The popularity in digital watches increased as new features were developed for them. Over the years they have had games, alarms, stopwatches,intimates and sleepwear, calculators and world time.
Nowadays everyone has owned a wristwatch,Rolex Daytona Replica, as much for fashion as telling the time. The straps are easy to fix on and they come in a variety of styles to suit everyone’s taste.
It seems though he age of the wristwatch is disappearing. Everyone now owns mobile phones and they have all the features of a digital watch and more. Perhaps one day mobiles themselves will be worn on wrists. It does seem like it could evolve that way.
