There are a lot of different styles of gents watches on the market today. In this article we will be reviewing a couple of different ones that have a rich history in the watch world. The watches that we will be talking about are Michel Jordi watches, Omega watches, Harry Winston watches, and the ever famous Rolex watch.
Michel Jordi watches are the first ones that we will be talking about today. The reason that Michel Jordi is in this article is because of his contribution of the twist lock system to the watch world. Back in 2004 he created the first ever twist lock on a watch that allowed for two faces on a single watch.
The next watch or chronometer that we are going to be talking about is the Omega watch. The Omega watch brand has been around since 1848, although it did not gain international popularity until it was elected the official time piece of the 1931 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Although its real claim to fame is that it is the watch that the astronauts worn on the moon.
Harry Winston watches is our next topic of discussion in today's article. These watches made an impact on watch making history when their "Opus V" series became famous for being hand crafted and precisely timed by now famous watchmakers FP Journe and Greubel-Forsey et al. These watches sell for around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Rolex Watch Company is our last edition to the watches that have made a historical impact list. This company which was first called Hans Wilsdorf and W Davis after their founders Hans Wilsdorf and W Davis was changed to Rolex three years after opening in 1905. This watch is easily the most recognized high end watch in the world, thanks partly to the fact that this company produced the first real underwater watch called the "Oyster", the first automatic date watch called the "Date just", and the fist dive watch called the "submariner".
The Rolex, Omega, Harry Winston and Michel Jordi are just some of the key players in wrist watch history. There are tons and tons of other watches and watchmakers that have all played important roles in history this was just a brief overview of some of the more famous ones.
