Watches are a quintessential part of the world we live in today. It will be unfair to say that only the rich and privileged have anything to do with watches. Timepieces are everywhere and to state that they are only an interest for the top 1 per cent of the society will be unjust. The Swiss Haute Horlogerie industry, for instance, is a great example. The multi-billion dollar business is responsible for some of the best creations in the world of art and mechanics, quite similar to the automobile industry. This blog will focus on three particular watch brands, namely, Breitling, Bvlgari, and IWC, and a few of the watches that they have made.
Breitling
Breitling’s reach and popularity in the global watchmaking industry is almost unrivaled. There are merely a handful of brands that can actually match up to the fame and glory of Breitling watches in the watch markets. There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that Breitling is among the top watchmaker’s of this generation. Watches like the Navitimer and the Chronomat are not just timekeeping devices but they are icons that stand for quality, built, and legacy. Hublot Classic Fusion watches are also elegant watches for men and women both.
As a watchmaker, Breitling’s skills are unparalleled. The brand is what water is to crops during summers. Breitling’s role in the development of the Swiss haute horlogerie is not only astounding but also huge. This looks like a ripe moment to look into some of the most popular Breitling watches ever made.

Bvlgari
Bvlgari is not what people often think about it. The luxury goods manufacturer is seldom seen for what it truly is, that is, a master of its craft and a genuine mechanical watchmaking genius. The brand is responsible for so many marvelous creations that have impacted the luxury goods industry in a way that was earlier thought of as impossible. One such example is the Serpenti. The origin of the idea to transform a snake figurine into something of a desire among especially women folk is not known. Nonetheless, it was just as brilliant way back in the day as it is today as Rolex.
Today, the Bvlgari brand is an empire that is set up solely on the basis of its prowess over quality products and genuine ideas. This level of trust between the brand and customers has been formed over the course of decades of not centuries. Let us take a look at some of the products that Bvlgari watches have been producing and marketing over the years.

IWC
Despite the fact that the luxury watchmaking industry has sort of terraformed and the landscape is nearly unrecognizable today if you were to compare it to a few decades ago, there are a few watchmakers that still operate on old-school principles and values. IWC is one such brand. It has not only upheld the core principles of authentic Swiss horology, but it has also developed a value system of its own.
Over the years, IWC has evolved to the extent that the brand has become a global phenomenon. Its watches are part of the best generation of luxury watches ever in terms of face value and popularity. IWC has always had a knack for sticking to the basics and that is what separates it from the flock. The Swiss watchmaker is a stalwart in the watch business not because it adds gold and diamonds to its timepieces, but because its timepieces have substance and gravitas. Let us take a look at some of the best IWC watches ever created.
