The Top 5 Watch Brands

Here at Cuttings we are very enthusiastic about all kinds of watches, whether these are preowned, luxury or vintage.

There are so many different luxury watch brands out there, so when it comes to buying one, it’s hard to know what one will last you, what will go up in value and which one to choose overall!

We’ve put together the top 5 watch brands when it comes down to value, make and design. We hope it gives you a good idea of what to choose.

5. IWC Schaffhausen - Definitely known for being one of the finest and most popular luxury watch brands in the world today, IWC Schaffhausen, or simply IWC as it is often referred to, offers stunning watches with innovative, technical designs. This brand is known for their high worth as a piece of striking jewellery, rather than its functions.

4. Patek Philippe - This watch brand is renowned for manufacturing every component completely from scratch, as well as 100% of its movements, being awarded with the Official Hallmark of the Geneva Seal. Investing in a Patek Philippe watch, particularly a very rare or vintage model, would be a very smart move as these can easily run into the six figure bracket at auctions.

3. Tag Heuer - Very popular within sports, particularly Formula One racing, these watches are well known for their high end, high precision mechanical chronographs. Tag Heuer was the first watch brand to introduce the automatic chronograph as well as the Chronosplit – a digital watch with LED and LCD displays. It is a brand that is loved by many for being a major watchmaker.

2. Omega - This is the brand of choice for NASA, thanks to its ease to work perfectly within zero gravity, as well as being the official time keeping partner of the Olympic Games. These watches have high precision and are famous for their spectacular chronograph range. Omega make stunning watches that are dedicated to accurate time keeping for both men and women.

1. Originally founded in England, the number one watch brand has to go to the well-loved Rolex. Thanks to its comfortable design, ability to be easily fixed and sheer reliability, this brand is respected by luxury watch owners everywhere. These watches are celebrated for their outstanding investment value, and well-kept vintage models can easily reach six-figures or more at auction.
