As far as watches go, there are just too many brands to choose from. And, of course, there are at least as many non-branded and replica branded watches to choose from. But someone who is serious about personal style, wants something elegant and reliable and values the history of a brand will quickly see why Gucci women’s watch are not just watches, but exquisite timepieces.
The Italian company, Gucci, has a history beginning in the early 1920s. Its founder, Guccio Gucci, had acquired the high standards of British aristocracy having worked at the Savoy Hotel in London for many years. He knew what was appreciated by those who had the means and he knew how to provide it. To this day, Gucci continues to be a leader in world fashion and fashion accessories.
The Gucci women’s watches reflects all of the elegance, history and quality that have made this brand one that has been proudly worn by many celebrities, including Princess Diana, Jackie Onassis and the Beatles. Its craftsmanship is second to none, drawing on the best of European expertise. Its style is easily recognizable for its striking elegance and unique design.
These watches are made using the finest materials and cutting edge quartz technology, namely Swiss. The best of Italian leather is used in straps. Highly polished and resistant metals are used in the bands and bracelets, notably stainless steel, gold and silver and carefully cut diamond and sapphire crystals are used in the inner workings of these elegant timepieces.
There is no doubt that design rates highly in Gucci’s priorities. Its watches are always elegant, yet versatile in the range of purposes and people they are designed to serve. Day and evening functions, business and casual wear, sports enthusiasts and funky and free-spirited are all catered to. It is not ’standard fare’ with any of these. You get uniquely designed timepieces and they do come at a price. Expect to pay no less than a few hundred dollars for one of these.
But, individuality does not end there. Materials used for the bands or straps provide further points of distinction. These include plain or textured leather, silver, gold or stainless steel and even rubber.
Looking at a display of these Italian-designed watches, it becomes obvious that Gucci gives design a high, if not the highest, priority. But it does this, apparently, without any compromise in quality and reliability. The priority given to design is evident when you look at the way Gucci watch designs cater for men and women and for each person’s purpose and preference. Gucci offers truly impressive designs that cater to elegant day or night wear, extravagant evening occasions, fun and funky (though never frivolous) tastes, sport lovers’ needs and chic or business-minded practicality.
The brand name, Gucci, is heavily steeped in a history and culture of fine, exclusive design, quality and fashion sense. Its watches are well endowed with this rich historical and cultural background. It is a long history as far as fashion is concerned. The interlocking double G logo which can be found on all Gucci watches and other fashion accessories could well stand for Gucci Greatness! It seems to symbolize a great tradition of high taste and exclusive design. It’s for this reason that it’s hard to think of Gucci women’s watches as just ‘watches’. They are remarkable timepieces in every sense of the word.
