Womens Watches at $1,000 and Up

You may be in the market for a mid priced timepiece. These womens watches are priced at $1,000 and up and there are many to choose from. How do you pick the right one? Is there a formula for choosing the perfect timepiece at this price? Well, there is no clear cut answer, but there are some guidelines that will help point you in the right direction. Here are some of the most important factors, when it comes to shopping for a mid-priced ladies timepiece:

1. Mechanical movements; most women don't think much about mechanical watches, but if you are going to be spending over $1,000 on a timepiece, you should consider them. These are not your run of the mill Quartz movements. They require no batteries and the self winding models are wound by the movement of your wrist, as you wear it. Mechanicals offer a classy and romantic allure and in addition to their aesthetic appeal...they will last and last.

2. Many designers want you to be able to appreciate the movement, so they will equip the timepiece with a see through case backing or a window aperture in the dial. Through these portholes you can witness the beating heart of the piece. It adds a very artistic touch to the mechanics.

3. Buy from a certified and reputable watchmaker. A watch that is created by a dedicated maker will hold its value longer.

Always make sure product is finished impeccably. Fine attention to detail makes the difference between these watches and ones of a lesser caliber.

Wholesale Watches Online

Wholesale watches can come in different forms; they could be the latest models that you get from the manufacturer, or last year's models that you buy from a department store or manufacturer from their unsold stock. Wherever you get them and however you get them, they can come in bulk and you might not always have a choice as to what you get. Of course with new watches you can send back the ones that don't work, whereas that option may or may not be available when you buy the left over stock from a department store. Generally, you will pay a lower price for these watches than when buying from a department store.

Unless the stock contains the same type of wholesale watches that you buy, you would have to sort them out once you get them. Sort them by brand first and then by models. Some will fetch you a good price and some a little lower, so pricing them correctly is very important. A well priced inventory sells fast and thus frees up the working capital for more stock. It makes good business sense to have your inventory move. A good thing to do is check each one to make sure they are working right. It is important that only the good ones go into the stock you sell. It is also a good idea to save a few for yourself; you can form a museum with what you have. But of course that is for some people only.

Wholesale Watches could be of different varieties too, they could be wrist watches or pocket watches. There is of course a differing clientele who will like them. If they are wristwatches they could have different bands for the same kind of watches. People are as varied as the items they like and most probably some will like bracelets and some leather bands. They even make some with plastic or other man made materials. Generally those that have the bands made out of manmade materials are utilitarian ones that are made for a specific sport or work in mind. If one dives for instance you don't want to have a leather band or even a bracelet. Mostly dress ones will have the bracelets or leather bands. If you buy the ones from a department store inventory some could be shop soiled too. They could have scratches or missing plastic covers etc. Make sure you account for it when you buy wholesale watches.

You are out to do business not charity when you buy them and you have to make sure your profit margin is intact. You would not want to lose money or come out even in the deal. That is the reason you have to make sure at the time of buying that you will come out ahead. When you are buying new stock from a manufacturer you don't have the luxury of haggling over the price, whereas with a department store the idea is completely different. Wholesale watches can give you a good profit if you buy them the right way.

The Corum Admiral's Cup Watch and Its Yachting Heritage

The Corum luxury watch brand have released many distinctive and eye catching timepieces. Regarded by many in the watch industry to be innovators of design, Corum watches have often produced unconventional, extravagant models but in the portfolio of this luxury brand you will also discover intricate and captivating artistic pieces, highly collectable and undeniably charming. Founded in 1955 in La Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland, the first Corum watch, the Charge D'Affaires was presented in 1956.

One collection in the brand's portfolio has become synonymous with the brand, the now iconic Corum Admiral's Cup. First released in 1960 its beautifully crafted square "Caree" case form bears no resemblance to the shape of the modern day Admiral's Cup watch. The watch was named Admiral's Cup as a reference to its water resistance - an innovative feature in a square watch case design.

In the early 1980's the Corum Admiral's Cup watch was to shed its gold Caree skin as part of a radical new design when it became commercial sponsors of yacht racing. As a celebration of the Admiral's Cup Regatta Offshore Yacht Race (a biannual international event considered by many to be the pinnacle of offshore yacht racing) the Corum brand re-launched the collection. The re-birth of the piece featured a rounded 12 sided case with brightly coloured nautical pennants decorating the bezel.

The watch became a Corum classic - an instantly recognised piece of jewellery which needs no introduction. The Admiral's Cup has been updated over the years producing some highly functional, intelligently designed models. One of these, the astonishing Admiral's Cup Marrees (tides) featured high and low tides function along with current strengths and lunar cycle - complications which stay true to its ocean-going offshore racing heritage. It also contained the first in-house Caliber CO277 movement. The Admiral's Cup Tides 44 Regatta is a highly collectable piece in the collection. Limited to 250 pieces and featuring hours, minutes, sweep seconds, date, moon phase, tides and strengths of tides, the watch is not only functional but a timelessly classical piece of jewellery. The 44mm case is crafted in rose gold which contrasts beautifully with those famous coloured nautical pennants. An exhibition caseback reveals its movement the remarkable CO277 and it is a certified chronometer (C.O.S.C.) meaning that it is an extremely accurate watch, one with a deviation of no more than 5 seconds a day. The watch band, a tactile combination of rose gold and rubber completes this impressive timepiece.

The Admiral's Cup Regatta Yacht Race has been of recent years a much missed event and at the time of writing, the Royal Ocean Racing Club are hoping to revive the event for 2011. Its name-sake jewellery equivalent - the Admiral's Cup watch has remained a core part of the Corum brand and hopefully there will be many more incarnations of this special piece to come in the future.




Great prices on luxury watches can be found at Chronolux.com and if you enjoyed this brief overview of the brand, then I would recommend that you visit the The WatchPress for more historical features and Corum watch reviews.
