The watches from famous brand names, such as Cartier watches to name just one, carry with them a legacy and a rich history. The watch designs, we will highlight today are from this genre of watch makers, the ones who helped to create the allure and fascination we have with luxury watches. These are some of the most iconic watch designs of the past 150 years:
• Since we started with the "King of Jewelers, and Jeweler to Kings", Cartier...let's discuss one of their most famous watch designs, the Tank. First introduced in 1917, few know that the Tank design was inspired by actual military tanks, which were used on the Western Front. The design, which took shape on the battlefield, would turn into this watch maker's most loved collections. Today the Tank can be seen with opaline guilloche dials and diamond bezels.
• Another, truly original styling can be seen in Movado's Museum dial. Created by George Hewitt in 1947, the Museum dial was too plain for many watch makers, but Movado picked it up and the rest was history. They took the Museum dial on a fast and furious ride, through the years, and it has remained one of the most significant minimalistic interpretations of our time.
Certainly, the styling of both men's and women's watches has been an evolution in design and technology. The luxury watch of today is lacking in nothing. It has Swiss ingenuity, artistic styling, and old world charm, thanks to the innovative minds of the watch makers.
