What You Didn't Know About Your Favorite Longines Wrist Watches

The most famous brands in the selective watch industry (Movado watches, Baume & Mercier watches and of course Ebel watches, among others) are a part of our social and political history. Like flies on a wall, they are hardly noticeable to the untrained eye. But those who are in the know, understand that they are just as important as any other fashion accessory. Watch enthusiasts collect tidbits of information, and find every small story that includes their wrist watch to generate an unofficial history of the brand. From celebrity scandals to presidential galas, wrist watches have been there and are part of some of the most intriguing historical moments of our lifetime.

Some of those interesting stories are not shared with many. But they are a huge factor in how new customers view these brands. Movado Watches are known for their style, but it was Andy Worhal who was so carried away with Movado watches, he decided to combine his work with Movado and together they created a limited edition of wristwatches. This limited edition was mostly displayed in museums. Pete Sampras decided to commemorate his 14th grand slam victory in 2002 with a special edition of Movado. Only 14 of those watches were made and were retailed at $2002. All the proceeds went to a charitable cause. But the Movado historical anecdote is only one out of many. A Longines wristwatch appeared on Danial Craig's James Bond despite Omega being an official sponsor, causing a bit of a stir.

These stories are part of the brand's history. When Weil watches are worn by someone who makes a difference, they are considered part of that success. This is why brands try hard to associate themselves with people who represent the ideal of what the brand is trying to portray. A classic example of this is James Bond. This character represents luxury, mystery, and a sense of style, all in one man. Brands usually fight over the rights to be in movies but they also love to be associated with history and history makers. Presidential editions have been made and other government officials usually take pride of their wristwatch.

If you're in the market for a luxury watch, try researching who the brand is associated with. It will give you a sense of where the company sees itself as well. It's much easier now, with sites like Watchesinmovies.com serving as a source of information for all brands that appear on movies and television. Many fashion websites now have sections devoted to wristwatches and the famous people who wear them. It's not surprising that stars are becoming more aware of the brand they put on their wrists. American actor Billy Zane and Russian actor Oleg Menshikov both serve as ambassadors for the Longines watch brand. With the help of a little research, you could find the perfect brand for your own personality.
