The Reluctant Watch Designer

Expert engineers design luxury watches with care and precision.   Experts and enthusiasts consider certain engineers “masters” and “artisans.”  Some of their names are synonymous with companies (Audemars Piguet, Giovanni Panerai, Adrien Philippe, Cartier) – others are not as well known.  

These individuals have fascinating stories.  This is the first in a series of blogs where we present their tales.  

We’re going to first look at Gérald Genta (1931 – 2011).  His tale will take a few blogs to tell, as well.  

With all his success, respect, and dedication, he often said that he did not like watches and did not wear them.  Nonetheless, Genta designed over 100,000 (no, that is not a typo – he actually designed over 100,000 watches).  Many watch enthusiasts and experts consider Genta the premier luxury designer and say that he had the most impact on luxury watch history.  His designs literally revolutionized the industry.  

Genta was born in Geneva, Switzerland during the Second World war and he grew up during the Great Depression.  He escaped the pain of the times through creativity.  He especially enjoyed painting and Picasso greatly influenced him.  He quit school to study jewelry making and earned money making silver portraits of children.  He considered a fashion career, but Geneva was the luxury watch capital, so such was where his path led.  He became a sensation.  His top designs include the following:

• Patek Philippe Nautilus • Royal Oak • Omega Constellation • IWC • Ingenieur • Bulgari-Bulgari • Gefica Safari • Pasha • Octogonal • Retrograde • Grande Sonnerie

He was the first to incorporate Mickey Mouse and other cartoon characters into luxury watches and also introduced luxury steel sports watches.  He additionally designed for Seiko and Timex, yet preferred focusing on luxury watches.  

This is just the beginning of Genta’s compelling story.  As mentioned, to come.

Fingerprint Watch Winders Further Protect Your Automatic Watches

What is an Automatic Watch?

As its name suggests, an automatic watch automatically winds itself.  Basically, the wearer provides the watch’s energy simply be wearing it – their motions transfer the energy to its mechanisms.  

What is a Watch Winder?  

As its name suggests, a watch winder keeps the automatic watch properly wound.  The watch winder’s motor simulates the wearer’s motions and continues the required energy transfer.  

A good watch winder also doubles as a storage and display unit.  And, fingerprint based watch winders also offer security and ease of access.

What are Fingerprint Watch Winders?

Most things that hold precious items and information claim to offer security.  Websites, emails, social media, and other online accounts require logins and passwords.  Safes and home alarms require similar codes.  But, sometimes, these security measures fail and someone with malicious intent hacks into an account and accesses personal information.  Thieves also break into homes and open safes and steal personal belongings.   .  

The latest innovation now utilizes biometric technology.  As its name suggests, such uses retinas, faces, fingerprints and other biological markers for identification (Star Wars/Star Trek fans should easily understand this technology).  

An individual’s biometric markers are unique.  Criminal investigators have been using fingerprint analysis for years – the chances of two people having identical fingerprints is infinitesimal.  So, with such technology, an owner simply registers their fingerprint with the system and they’re set to go – no one else can utilize the system (many smartphones now successfully use such technology).  

This is essentially how a fingerprint based watch winder works.  The owner simply scans their finger into the system and when they want to open the device, they simply touch it.   And, just like that, the watch winder opens.  

Imagine the peace-of-mind.  Imagine the ease.  No more fumbling for keys.  No more worrying about passwords or codes.

In What Luxury Brand Watch Should You Invest?

A prior blog noted that investing your money, rather than simply saving it in a bank, allowed it to grow faster and let you do more with it.   Popular investments (stocks, real estate, funds, bonds, commodities), however, are risky, especially considering the recent pandemic.  

Financial experts have lately looked at and favored investing in luxury items, specifically luxury watches.   One major reason:  luxury watches are tangible – you can see and feel them – wear them and show them to others – pass them down to other generations.    Additional reasons include:  

Marketability:  should you need cash, you can simply sell a luxury watch.

Insurability:  you can easily insure and protect a luxury watch.  

In Which Luxury Watch Should You Invest?

Rebag, an authority in luxury accessory trading, selling, and buying, reported that Rolex presently dominates the luxury watch second-hand market.  It’s 2021 Clair report found that a Rolex retains over 80% of its value and that some styles sell for twice their initial cost.   Four styles performed best:  

Daytona:  (named after the international speedway) held 160% of its original value.  

Submarina:   (which appeared in Bond films) held 160% of its original value.  

Batman:  held 180% of its value

Coke:  (red and black in color, like the soda) held 120% of its original value.  

Dimepiece, a website dedicated to women and luxury watches, determined that, in addition to Rolex, investors were also buying Cartier.  Investors liked Cartier’s recognizability,  175-year history, wearability, and versatility.  Rebag additionally noted that a Cartier retains over 60% of its original value.   The RealReal, a members only, luxury goods consignment market recently sold the following two Cartier styles:  

Tank Française:  held 70% of its original value.

Panthère de Cartier: (introduced over 100 years ago) held 60% of its original value.  

While the experts believed Cartier was a good investing starting point for first-time investors, they nonetheless suggested buying what appealed to you.  You still want to love the watch, even if you wanted it as a wise investment.  

On the other hand, loving luxury watches is very easy.   Anyone who wears luxury watches will tell you just that.

Are Luxury Watches a Good Investment?

We all want to save money.  Besides the bills we all must pay, we all want to enjoy vacations, purchase special items for ourselves and loved ones, educate our children and help them with their dreams, plan for retirement, and also plan for unseen circumstances.  So saving money in a bank or credit union, where it earns interest, is smart.  

Investing your money, however, is a  better choice.  It allows your money to grow, which lets you do even more.  Popular investments include stocks, funds, bonds, and real estate.  But, there are risks with those investments and you must know exactly what you are doing, otherwise, you might lose everything.  

Kevin O'Leary, star of the series “Shark Tank,” has said that making money in the stock market is getting difficult and that bonds do not pay that much. He recommended a more tangible investment.   So, in what do you invest?   Luxury items.  

Investing in Luxury Items

Today, luxury items excite investment experts, including O’Leary.  Luxury items offer the following:

Prestige:  experts and laypeople automatically revere and regard certain luxury items simply because they carry high-quality perception (e.g. high-end automobiles, yachts, haute couture clothing).  

Tangibility:  you can actually see and feel the luxury item.

Instant Gratification:  as soon as you purchase a luxury item, you can enjoy it.

Excellent Cash Return:  Luxury items offer high rates of returns.  

Low Risk:  there is little risk in purchasing luxury items and you avoid the risk that comes with investing stocks, funds, etc.

Investing in Luxury Watches

O’Leary and other investment experts believe luxury watches are a terrific luxury item investment.  According to Forbes, he owns over thirty luxury watches, including a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, Rolex Daytona, Rolex Submariner, and Panerai Luminor Base Acciaio.  Other sources reveal that he wears three a day.   Luxury watches are valuable from the outset and their worth only increases over time.  

So, yes, they are a good – no, a great investment.  One about which you can be passionate.  

Future blogs will continue to explore this topic.

COSC Certified Watches

Previous blogs discussed chronometers and mentioned that an authenticated luxury watch is a chronometer.   So, who certifies these watches and determines whether they are chronometers?  The Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC).  

The COSC

Five Swiss areas created the COSC in 1973:  Geneva, Bern, Vaud, Neuchâtel, and, Solothurn, together with the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FHS).   It is, however, a non-profit, independent organization that freely self-regulates watch designers and watch production.  

The COSC rigorously tests each watch over a two week period in five separate positions, at three temperatures.  Inspectors repeatedly adjust and remove movements from the watch and tests each at various different temperatures, in various positions, over certain time periods.  Inspectors employ cameras to observe watch functions and take careful measurements to painstakingly compile data, all of which measures the watches average daily rate of accuracy.  

Inspectors measure:

• Rate resumption • Rate variation • Average daily rate • Mean variation rate • Difference between vertical and horizontal positions • Temperature rate variation

For certification, the COSC requires the average standard to be between -4 seconds to +6 seconds off.

What Watches does the COSC Test?

The COSC only tests watches that Switzerland manufacturers produce.  Before anyone, however, criticizes that criterion, just consider just the top brands of that list:

Patek Philippe Blancpain Breguet Richard Mille Cartier Rolex Jaeger-LeCoultre Zenith Omega Girard Perregaux Chopard Officine Panerai Audemars Piguet Ulysse Nardin Tag Heuer Fortis Carl F. Bucherer Hamilton Mount Blanc Eberhard & Co. Mido Eterna Roger Dubuis Bell & Ross Zodiac Doxa F.P. Journe Baume & Mercier Longines Oris Laurent Ferrier Corum H.

The Harrison Chronometer

In a prior blog, we noted that an authenticated luxury watch is a chronometer.  We also provided a brief look into the chronometer’s history and revealed that John Harrison essentially created the first chronometer.  So understanding what is a chronometer will help you understand luxury watches.  

Let’s take a closer look at Harrison’s work and his series of chronometers, which continue to impact today’s watches (his story is certainly a lesson in perseverance and dedication).  

But, once more, let’s again see what inspired the chronometer, as it greatly influenced and affected Harrison’s work.  

1707 Scilly Naval Disaster

On October 22, 1707, five Royal Naval fleet ships struck the Gilstone Ledges’ rocks off the Isles of Scilly - between 1400 and 2000 sailors perished.  Today, it remains one of the worst British maritime disasters.  The navigators’ inability to precisely gauge the ships’ positions and other course-plotting errors contributed to the tragedy.    

In 1714, the terrible loss motivated Parliament to create the Board of Longitude (Board), which offered a prize to anyone who could create a device that could measure longitude to thirty miles.   A proper way to measure time across longitudes would greatly help correct life threatening, navigational errors.

The Harrison Chronometers

Harrison, a carpenter and self-taught clockmaker, entered the contest.   He first created a sequence of wooden clocks (H1) that utilized springs to absorb ship movements.  After a successful 1736 test run, the Board offered Harrison a stipend to go on working.  

In 1739, Harrison concocted a smaller sea clock (H2) that counteracted temperature changes.  The War of Austrian Succession, however postponed testing as officials did not want enemies somehow acquiring the prototype.  

Twenty years later, in 1757, Harrison built H3, an even more lightweight and compact ocean clock.  Four years after that, in 1761 he finished H4, an easy-to-carry, round silver watch that remained precise under temperature variations and resisted expansion and contraction (H4’s mechanism, a primordial thermostat, would benefit engineering concepts centuries later).  In over eighty days of testing, H4 lost only 5.1 seconds.  

Harrison, however, wasn’t a member of a group of distinguished clockmakers, so some individuals attempted to invalidate his work and credit others with his inventions.  The Board, thus, never distributed the full prize money to anyone, including Harrison.  

In 1770, Harrison and his son developed H5, a white enamel dial watch containing a gold central star with which to adjust the hands.  Over a five month voyage, H5 achieved superb results.  Parliament and King George III then intervened and, in 1773, nearly sixty years later, finally distributed the Board prize money to Harrison.  

You can see the H1, H2, H3 and H4 chronometers at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich.  The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers owns H5 - most recently, it displayed its collection at the Science Museum, London.

We’ll continue to examine this past and wee how it impacts today’s luxury watches.

Chronometers and Today’s Luxury Watches

You may think price and brand identify luxury watches. That’s not the case.  Quality and certification separate luxury watches from all others.  An authenticated luxury watch that elite watchmakers manufactured is actually called a chronometer.  

What exactly is a chronometer and why is there a distinction?  Let’s begin with the past.  

Chronometers

Travelers who cross time zones must adjust their timepieces and biological rhythms (e.g., eating and sleeping habits).   For some, the change can be confusing.  Technological advancements and modern circumstances help us adapt.  Especially when it comes to our timepieces – many simply make the change without our even noticing.   Moving across time zones also affect proper navigation and longitudinal understanding.  GPSs and other modern advancements help ships, planes, and other travel modes adjust.  

Let’s now go back three hundred years,  when sailors used the sun and stars to navigate the oceans.   Flawed timekeeping methods often caused many ships to go off-track and led to shipwrecks.   In 1714, to resolve this problem,  Britain passed the Longitude Act and offered prizes for inventions that determined a ship’s location.  

Some sources initially credit reference Christiaan Huygens with the first chronometer.  He used a spiral spring and balance wheel, rather than a pendulum, to measure time.  Though he obtained a patent, his invention remained inaccurate at sea.  

Additional sources reference Jeremy Thacker.  His device used a vacuum, which locked out air and improved timekeeping precision.   In writings, Thacker actually used the term “chronometer.”  While Thacker’s chronometer was correct to six seconds a day, the act required accuracy to three seconds a day and did not win the top prize.  

Then John Harrison came along.  Most sources agree that he was the chronometer titleholder. He came up with various designs, including a five-inch pocket watch.  Captain Cook (yes, there was a real Captain Cook) used one of his devices and, today, many timepieces still use his balance and caged roller bearing technology.  He took most of the act’s prize money and earned what today would exceed millions of dollars.  His inventions made sure Britain governed the seas for over one hundred years.  

In upcoming blogs, we’ll further examine this past and how it impacts today’s luxury watches.

Two Ways to Protect Your Automatic Watch

Automatic watch owners are passionate and dedicated.   That’s because an automatic watch isn’t just a timepiece one straps around their wrist.  And, an automatic watch isn’t just a pretty piece of jewelry one wears to accentuate trendy fashion.  Automatic watches are investment items that continue to grow more valuable the longer one owns them.  That’s rare.  Most things decrease in value the moment an induvial purchases them.  That goes for new cars. boats, video games, handbags, wedding gowns, furniture, timeshares, books, engagement rings, toys, and mobile phones.  The few things that increase in value upon purchase include stocks, sports collectibles, gold, land, cryptocurrency, and automatic watches.  

Like all items that increase in value, automatic watch owners should protect their investment from theft, loss, theft, and/or damage.  Insurance and watch winders are two excellent ways in which to do just that.

Insurance

Insurance often pays for the replacement or repair of a lost and/or damaged automatic watch.  Some companies allow an automatic watch owner to add their piece to a current homeowner’s policy and some companies offer watch insurance.  

Automatic watch owners should make sure they have a photograph of their automatic watch and maintain copies of purchase receipts in a secure place, such as a safe or safety deposit box.  

Purchasing separate watch insurance or adding a watch to a homeowner’s policy may increase expenses.  Such is, of course, a valid concern.  But, considering an automatic watch’s value and irreplaceability, it is a wise choice.  

Watch Winders

A watch winder is another way in which automatic watch owners can protect their watches.  

Once set, an automatic watch requires no battery or winding – the wearer’s motions transfer energy to the watch’s internal mechanism and keeps it running.  If the wearer removes the watch, however, it will stop working.  A watch winder imitates the wearer’s motions and keeps an automatic watch running.  Such keeps all working parts functioning, allows the watch to say accurate, and cuts down on repairs.  

Watch winders, just by offering a constant place in which to store an automatic watch, inherently cuts down on misplacement and loss.  Plus they  offer an attractive place for which to display pieces.  

Fingerprint watch winders, which utilize BioMetric FingerPrint Technology, offer convenient access.  Wearers no longer have to remember passwords or bother with keys.  

A watch winder is a one-time purchase that continually protects an automatic watch.  It is, thus, an extremely wise choice.

The Three Basic Types of Movement Watches:  Which is Best?

Movement watches have internal mechanisms and external moving hands.   Digital watches brightly display the time and cellular watches use smart technology to connect to the Internet.  

When it comes to fashion, taste, and style, nothing beats a movement watch.  Movement watches are elegant, often salute history, and never go out of fashion.  And, let’s face it, they look fabulous  – sexy even (think James Bond).  Such is why so many watch companies feature attractive individuals on movement watch ads: Steve McQueen, Patrick Dempsey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, John F. Kennedy, George Clooney, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman – and that’s a short list.  You won’t find similar ads for digital or cellular watches.  And, those watches simply don’t have movement watches’ amazing looks.    

Movement watches go with anything, be it jeans, workout gear, suits, and formal wear.  

The Three Kinds of Movement Watches

There are three kinds of movement watches:

Mechanical Watches:  a mainspring runs this watch.  It requires hand or automatic winding.  

Quartz Watches:  batteries power these watches.  

Automatic Watches:  the wearer’s natural motions power these watches.

So, which is best?  Automatic Watches.  Why?  The owner never needs to wind them or change a battery.  They simply need to wear them.  Their motions transfer energy to the watch’s internal mechanism.  Other reasons:

They always keep correct time.

They require very little maintenance.  

They last forever and the owner can pass the automatic watch down through generations.

But, what happens when the wearer is not wearing their automatic watch?  Or, maybe they have several watches and alternate between them.  How do they keep them running?  How do they display them and keep them safe?  Easy.  A Watch Winder.

What is a Watch Winder?  

As its name suggests, a watch winder keeps an automatic watch properly wound.  The watch winder’s motor mimics the wearer’s movements and continues the required energy transfer.  

A watch winder also attractively displays automatic watches.  Fingerprint based watch winders additionally offer ease of access (no need for passwords and keys).

Your Watch is a Stylish Accessory that Will Never Go Out of Fashion

Since smartphones came out, most experts claimed watches would become obsolete.  Why would anyone use a watch when they could simply check their smartphone for the time?  Everyone’s always looking at their smartphone all the time, anyway?  

Truth is, a watch, especially a premium, automatic watch, is so much more than a time piece.  Those that purchase and wear automatic watches know that.  Owning an automatic watch offers several advantages, including:  

Long Lasting:   manufacturers design automatic watches to last a lifetime.  

Shared Heritage:  manufacturers hope and encourage owners to pass watches down through generations.  

Quality Workmanship: because of their intended longevity, creating them requires  top-notch skills and training.  

Value Appreciates:  most items, once purchased, begin depreciating.  Not an automatic watch.  Its value goes on growing.  

Singular Style Statement:  most people need, at least, a new hairstyle, wardrobe, and shoes to, maybe, make a fashion statement.   A man slips on an automatic watch and, boom, he instantly makes a fashion statement.  

These advantages apply, provided the automatic watch owner takes proper care of their watch.  

Properly Caring for an Automatic Watch

When an individual first purchases an automatic watch, they must first set it to the proper time (and configure other settings, such as date and calendar, if applicable).  

The watch wearer’s motions keep an automatic watch running (it all has to do with kinetic energy).  If the wearer removes the watch and leaves it motionless for an extended time, the watch will eventually stop (this could take several days).  

Some individuals wear their watches daily and never need to worry about their watches stopping.  Others, however, only wear their watches sporadically or have a collection of watches.  What do the latter do?  

Some experts and wearers believe it is best to keep automatic watches running, especially those with more complicated functions.  Such prevents them from having to re-set the watch each time they wear it.   Some also believe allowing a watch to go on operating provides proper lubrication, which then prevents parts from hardening.  

If you feel your watch needs to keep running for proper care and maintenance, a watch winder is an excellent investment.
