It is worth buying a Swiss watch if you’re looking for a timepiece with longevity and reliability. Swiss watches are world renowned for a reason, and that’s because of the expertise and high quality materials that go into a carefully curated Swiss watch, and there are strict regulations that a Swiss watch needs to adhere to. If you’re considering buying a Swiss watch, we recommend that you research one that’s most tailored to you before buying. To make the most out of your Swiss watch, consider when you’ll be wearing and using it. Are there certain functions, such as a chronograph, tachymeter, or diving scale that you’d like to be included?

Swiss watches that are battery-operated are driven by a quartz movement. Some Swiss watches have a quartz movement, whilst others are driven by mechanical and automatic movements. Most Swiss watch brands manufacture a variety of both quartz or mechanical watches, however some brands, such as Oris, only produce mechanical Swiss watches.

Swiss watches vary in price, usually due to where the movements are manufactured, the materials used, and the functions that the watch features. Typically, Swiss watches are more expensive than watches manufactured in other countries. Our range of Swiss watches vary in price, starting from £225 up to £87,000, so you can find one that will fit your budget. We offer interest free credit on our Swiss watches over £350 or more.

The movement is the beating heart of your Swiss watch, constructed with hundreds of working parts of a variety of sizes, this movement drives the watch and makes it tick. The movement of a Swiss watch is intricately constructed in Switzerland, with the components of the Swiss manufacture accounting for at least 60% of the watch’s total value. The movement has to have been inspected by the manufacturer in Switzerland meticulously before it’s sold.

The movements of a Swiss watch are created in Switzerland, and then the timepiece is tested according to the rigorous COSC-certification standards. This is to ensure the Swiss watch meets all the requirements in terms of maintaining extreme timekeeping accuracy. This includes making sure the Swiss watch can resist inconsistencies in its timekeeping within certain levels of magnetism, temperatures, and other factors. To be COSC certified, the Swiss watch needs to be accurate within -4 to +6 seconds a day. High quality materials such as stainless steel and sapphire crystal are then assembled to give the Swiss watch its durability and longevity.
