When you think of designer watches, you tend to conjure up images of exquisite yet very expensive timepieces made by the likes of Rolex and Cartier. However, there are also plenty of other designer timepieces available these days that don’t cost £5,000 or more to buy.

Indeed, many of today’s leading fashion brands now have their own ranges of designer watches for men and women. Certainly, big names like Emporio Armani, DKNY, Diesel, Police and Ben Sherman as well as many others besides now offer beautifully-crafted designer timepieces along with their many other fashion accessories.

Some of these offerings are bold, striking timepieces that are geared towards sporty individuals who want their watch to reflect the type of active lifestyle they lead. Others meanwhile are aimed at casual people who will feel more comfortable wearing a more understated watch that is slightly more simple and functional in appearance. Moreover, there is also a whole host of stylishly sophisticated timepieces available that can be worn on special occasions like dates as a way to look impressive without being ostentatious.

So how well do these timepieces compare to the Rolex and Cartier offerings that cost upwards of £5,000?  Well, in the main, very favourably indeed. The materials used by the leading brands are generally of a very high standard, whilst the workmanship is second to none; therefore the timepieces themselves are very attractive, functionally accurate and ultimately, extremely well made.

Furthermore, all of the leading brands these days provide a manufacturer’s guarantee with their designer offerings so you can easily return any purchase that needs adjusting or replacing within a certain time frame (typically 24 months from the date of purchase).

When you think about it, this pursuit of excellence and attention to perfection should really come as no surprise. To be sure, leading designers have made their name by creating high-quality products, be they sunglasses, jeans or shirts so you would expect their timepieces to come complete with the same degree of quality.  What’s more, the same leading brands also know that their reputations would be totally compromised if they were to suddenly start selling any kind of sub-standard products so you can be sure that they will devote the same time and effort to their watches as they do to their other fashion accessories.

The fact that there are designer timepieces available that cost a fraction of the price of the average Cartier or Rolex means that anyone who wants to can now make a deliberate and sophisticated fashion statement without having to take out a second mortgage. So, if you want to invest in an accessory (or two) that can reflect your lifestyle, impress your dates, be functionally accurate and of course, look very cool, look no further than a high-quality designer watch.

It is fair to say that the very best designer watches have something of a timeless quality. Indeed, designer timepieces have been around for many years yet their appeal has never waned. In fact, it could be argued that they are more popular now than they have ever been.

So, just what is it about a designer watch that makes it so appealing?

Style & sophistication
Perhaps it is the refined style and sophistication of a designer watch that is the source of its appeal. Certainly, there are few items which can look as effortlessly elegant as a finely-crafted designer watch. Indeed, a high-quality timepiece can provide you with a touch of designer style in any setting, regardless of whether you are attending an important business function or simply enjoying an evening out with friends.

Status symbols
Another reason why designer watches for men and women are so appealing is that, like a cool sports car, they can also act as an impressive status symbol. However, unlike a cool car, a designer watch can allow you to illustrate your status in a far more modest and understated manner. Without doubt, a beautifully-crafted Emporio Armani, Michael Kors or Maurice Lacroix timepiece will be every bit as impressive as shiny new Porsche or Ferrari, yet will be seen as being a little less ostentatious. In fact, there are few ‘accessories’ that are able to make such a strong impression in such a discreet and elegant manner as a high-quality designer watch.

Functionality
Because they are so stylish and aesthetically pleasing, the high functionality of designer timepieces is often overlooked. However, most top quality ladies and gents watches are manufactured to the very highest standards as they have been designed by some of the most experienced watchmakers in the world. This means that they are able to provide a level of practical functionality that really is unrivalled. Indeed, whilst some timepieces are not designed to last longer than a few years, a well cared for high-quality designer watch can last you an entire lifetime.

Simplicity
However, when it really comes down to it, it could be that the simplicity of a designer watch is its chief appeal. Certainly, there is something very reassuring and ultimately very appealing about the simple, eternal familiarity of a well-made watch; especially when everything around us seems to be zipping around at breakneck speed in either digital or virtual form. In fact, it is this very element that gives a designer watch its ‘timeless’ appeal as you just know that this type of timepiece will always look good and perform well, regardless of how much technology evolves.

Quite simply, a beautifully-crafted, high-quality designer watch can provide style and sophistication, act as a status symbol, and quite simply, function in the very best way that any timepiece can.  So when you think about it, perhaps a more pertinent question would be: how could anyone not understand the timeless appeal of a designer watch?

If you are looking to buy a designer watch, either as a gift for a partner or as a treat for yourself then look no further than a timepiece from Emporio Armani. As well as being one of the world’s leading high end fashion labels, Emporio Armani also make some truly outstanding watches for both men and women.

Masculine & feminine
Of course, men and women have very distinct requirements in a watch. Indeed, whilst men normally prefer big, chunky timepieces that have a certain ‘bling’ factor, ladies typically prefer something smaller and more understated. Emporio Armani have kept these requirements very much in mind and therefore their designer timepieces are able to exude immediate and definite masculinity and femininity in a wide range of sizes, styles and colours.

Bracelets and straps
As with most other top designer watch brands, you can choose to have either a bracelet or a strap (typically leather) on your Emprio Armani designer watch.  Bracelets are often the preferred choice as they are a lot more durable and hard-wearing than leather straps and therefore they will not need to be replaced anywhere near as often. The only real drawback of bracelets is that they sometimes need to have links taken out of them to achieve a perfect fit. This is something that you may well need to bear in mind if you are buying your Emporio Armani watch as a surprise gift for a partner.

Poor quality replicas
Unfortunately, there is no end of replica, poor quality Emporio Armani watches around these days.  You need to be very aware of this when shopping around as it can sometimes be quite difficult to differentiate replica timepieces from branded originals. However, whilst replicas may well look the part to the casual observer, the quality of their performance is certainly less than impressive.  The only way you can be completely sure of buying a 100% genuine Emporio Armani watch is to buy it from a reputable agent like us here at Watches2u.com.
