Brand history
Back in 1895, the founder of the company, Daniel Swarovski, a native of North Bohemia, founded the company in a small Austrian village. The place where Daniel was born was famous for its cutters and glassblowers. Almost every self-respecting Bohemian had a glass workshop.
The father of the founder of the famous brand also polished small jewelry using a jewelry technique that imitates a diamond cut.
It is not surprising that the son followed in his father's footsteps, and soon after the launch of the factory with his own hydroelectric power plant, he offered his new product to fashionable Parisian houses - Swarovski crystals. Fashion designers loved the idea of decorating clothes with sparkling stones and using them to make jewelry.
Jewelry with famous crystals reached St. Petersburg, where women of fashion accepted the novelty with delight. At various times, the brand's products have adorned the stage costumes and evening dresses of Marlene Dietrich, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and Brian Ferry.
And such fashion houses as Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior and Chanel still decorate their collections with crystal.
In 1985, together with the house of Christian Dior, the masters of the Swarovski company created a new effect Aurora Borealis (in translation - aurora borealis). Crystals have become a real breakthrough in the fashion industry and, of course, have graced new collections of women's watches.
Peculiarities
For the first time, the company, which was already known all over the world as a manufacturer of jewelry and interior items, presented a wristwatch in 2009. Already the very first collections of Swarovski watches became popular and gained worldwide love among women, even those who had not previously encountered the brand's products.
The company's watch products are invariably famous for their following qualities:
- Impeccable precision manufacturing of mechanisms, as each of them is made in the most "watch" country - Switzerland.
- In the collections you can find chronometers for different occasions, choosing accessories for each created image.
- The crystals are placed under special glass, which has been added with lead oxide for strength, so they never lose their luster.
- Some models have decorative minute markers bezels adorned with many Austrian rhinestones.
It is necessary to purchase brand products, including watches, only from official representatives and companies that are guaranteed to sell originals, for example, the Sunlight chain of stores.
Advantages and disadvantages
What are the advantages of a perfect thing? An accessory that is guaranteed to be the perfect complement to your look and highlight the flawless taste of its owner?
Swarovski watches, having appeared on the world market relatively recently, have significantly squeezed out the more eminent Swiss watch brands. And most of the female buyers of wristwatches prefer Austrian products.
Nevertheless, the advantages of Swarovski watches include:
- impeccable running accuracy;
- almost eternal shine of crystals thanks to the special glass of the case;
- amazingly beautiful bracelets that will decorate a woman's hand by themselves;
- a wide variety of models, among which there are relatively strict and laconic, and iridescent with all the colors of the rainbow.
If we talk about shortcomings, then they mostly concern men.
There are no men's models in the company's collections, which is quite logical: sparkling rhinestones and men are not the best combination.
Thanks to the skills and secrets of the founder, the company's craftsmen managed to create realistic imitations of natural stones such as black diamonds, blue, pink, red and yellow diamonds.
Variety of options
Each collection contains a variety of designs for different occasions; it is simply impossible not to find a watch to your liking among the brand's products.
Here are some of the 13 most popular lines out there:
- Swarovski Octea can be considered, perhaps, the most "sports" collection, as well as one of the most strict and classic. The models skillfully combine luxury, femininity and somewhat aggressive notes, so they are ideal for business women or for women who prefer unisex style.
- Lovely Crystals line, unlike the previous one, is incredibly feminine. And the main feature, as the name implies, is a scattering of lovely crystals. Such watches are ideal for romantic natures, they will look especially good on sophisticated and diminutive hands.
- Collection Aila it is difficult to designate on any specific basis. It is suitable for all women, but at the same time not for everyone. The models are luxurious, but in moderation, without vulgarity. Bright, but made in restrained shades. Unambiguously, the watch will suit those women who always and in everything strive to "keep the brand" and emphasize their high status.
- Light Series - definitely the most youthful. The creators went to meet technical innovations and built LED backlighting of different colors into the watch. It can be blue, red-orange or yellow. And the belts of the models are made of silicone. At the same time, the line is more democratic in cost than other Swarovski collections.
These, of course, are not all representatives of the collections from the renowned company, but they are definitely one of the most interesting.
It will be expensive to buy a watch for every occasion, so you can opt for one of the universal unisex options, for example, from the Octea line.
One more thing:
What materials are there
When buying an expensive accessory, it is very important to know that it is made of quality materials. Even a slight scratch on the Swarovski watch case can ruin the whole impression of such a luxurious thing. Therefore, the company pays great attention to the mechanism and quality of crystals themselves, and design, and, of course, materials.
The case of all chronometers is made of high-quality, resistant to mechanical damage alloy, for the production of more expensive models precious metals are used. Moreover, the body can be of different shades: classic chrome, yellow, pink and even black.
So that precious rhinestones do not lose their luster and are reliably protected from damage, different types of extra strong glass are used - mineral, sapphire or hezalite.
More choice of materials for the production of straps. Depending on the design of a particular collection, the company uses leather, metal, textiles, silicone, rubber and even ceramics.
Only this combination of all the qualities of Swarovski women's watches makes them practically eternal.
Still, no one canceled the respectful attitude. Therefore, it is categorically impossible to store an expensive accessory in a box, in a heap with other jewelry.
Legendary models
It is difficult to single out even a few specific models from different collections. Each of them is amazing and equally attractive to women. However, there are those watches that are in high demand from year to year.
Here are just a few examples.
- Octea classica emerald luxurious emerald color with tints of pink give an incredible effect. This model is suitable for any evening outfit.The strap made of crocodile-styled calfskin looks no less impressive. Choice of Confident Women!
- Lovely Crystals Mini Gold - an elegant model with a case entirely made of gold. The ideal complement to precious metal is the base of the white mother-of-pearl dial. A slight flirtation is added by 20 crystals moving around the dial.
- Strict and discreet Aila day taupe at the same time, they are original, because watches are rarely found in completely silver color in all collections. The classic leather strap is painted to match the case and goes well with high-quality stainless steel and 50 crystals at once. The watch design classics are Roman numerals and, of course, the brand's logo in the form of a swan.
- Piazza mini it is distinguished by a laconic design, only the dial markers are decorated with small rhinestones. More attention is drawn to the amazingly beautiful strap covered with sparkling stones in five rows.
- Octea Classica Black Rose - a model for lovers of glamor. The case, crafted from rose gold, contrasts spectacularly with the black dial. The dial for the second hand is surrounded by precious rhinestones.
In order to maintain the accuracy of the movement for many years, it is important to avoid even minor breakdowns. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the wristwatch and clean it in a specialized workshop.
How much are
Since the release of the very first collection of women's watches, the company's pricing policy has remained unchanged. “Affordable luxury” is what the brand owners adhere to.
Cases of some models are coated with a special protective coating, which increases their cost. Gold watches with mother-of-pearl are much more expensive.
In general, the Swarovski model can be purchased within 10,000-50,000 rubles. For example, the youth model Light will cost about 13,000 rubles.
If we compare Swarovski with watches of famous Swiss brands, then their cost can be called low. The highest quality of Swiss movements combined with the luxury of sparkling crystals is quite affordable for every woman.
Are there copies, how to distinguish
Unfortunately, this question can be answered unequivocally "Yes, there is"! And a lot!
The Internet is replete with offers to buy copies of Swarovski watches, which are "no different from the original." It is almost impossible to identify a fake on your own, especially since most of these accessories are sold only on online platforms.
The only thing that will guarantee the purchase of the original is the purchase of a watch from an authorized dealer of the brand.
What to combine with
It depends directly on the design of the model and the style that the woman prefers. It is unlikely that everyone has the opportunity to purchase several watches at once in order to alternate them, choosing for each specific outfit.
That is why, before buying, you should carefully familiarize yourself with all the collections and choose a watch in the style that best suits you.
In the Swarovski product lines, there are many versatile models made in laconic color schemes that are suitable for creating a daily business look, and as an accessory to an evening dress.
Nowadays, when almost every woman leads a dynamic and active lifestyle, it is worth having such a chic accessory as a Swarovski watch on your wrist.
The extraordinary luxury of finishing, sophisticated design and, of course, the real famous Austrian crystals will add a truly royal chic even to the gray everyday life.
