Luxury Watches: Swiss Watches - Designer Watches

Over the years I have been presented with many wristwatches as birthday gifts and achievement awards. All in all a total of twelve timepieces, mostly all elegant ladies fashion statement mechanical watches and an electronic ultra slim Swatch. This sporty red rubber strap Swatch Watch gave up keeping time after a year of action. The watch being ultra slim and delicate needed proper care. It was treated care freely and was neglected by me.

My first, a Seiko bracelet watch was the only wristwatch I bought out of necessity for timekeeping during my teenage years. Since then, four watch models have been adorned and the rest of the brand new watches have been given away as they were. The Swiss Luxury Watch from my husband is my favorite. This jewelry watch is a sort of replacement for the diamond ring that we could not afford during our wedding day then.
