Jaeger LeCoultre Finds Its Time To Expand
Premium watch manufacturer Jageger LeCoultre is expecting major growth in China which is becoming its largest watch market in the world according to reports. A company executive told China Daily during an interview earlier last week that "Sales in the Chinese market have contributed a lot to our global business and we will continuously expand our outreach in China to grasp the business opportunities in the fastest-growing market in the world.”
The Switzerland based watch manufacturer just opened its premium watch boutique in Beijing China in November hoping to appeal to the new Chinese customer base according to reports. The watch manufacturer sells watches for around ten thousand Chinese Yuan which is around one thousand five hundred US Dollars up words to fifty thousand Chinese Yuan.
The executive added, "I'm confident that the Chinese market will reflect better sales in the future and we will launch some products especially designed for our Chinese clients.”
The US Based Firm Bain and Co’s findings back up the moves of Jaeger Le Coultre. They conducted a survey of a thousand customers in 10 cities and believe watch sales in China will steadily climb in the next decade.

Watches Back in Fashion
Despite the recent economic global problems the watch industry, particularly the retail sector seems to be enjoying something of a revival.
Although watches have been shunned in recent years, largely due to the fact that most of us owned mobile phones which included a clock, this trend seems to have changed over the last year or so.
Many people, especially the younger generation are now beginning to see watches in a different light and not as a gadget used just for telling the time. Instead watches are becoming more like a fashion accessory, especially designer watches from top brands such as Ed Hardy, ICE and Seksy watches which have really caught on this season.
Also more traditional mechanical watches are also on the up, as many people become less interested in quartz watches and gain a fascination for mechanical movements.
This revival has seen many big designer names introducing lines of watches in a bid to get a slice of the fashion watches market. Designer brands such as Bench, DKNY, Ben Sherman, Accessorize, Christian Audigier, BCBG Max Azria, Michael Kors, Marc Ecko and many other top brand fashion designers are all introducing new designs of watches on a regular basis to try to keep up with demand in recent fashion trends.

Watches - A Great Idea for Fathers Day Gift
Fathers Day has just passed for another year and yet again millions of us all spent an average of £18.57 (down from £21.21 last year) on a treat for our Father, of which an average of £2.11 was spent on a card with the remainder being mostly spent on aftershave, slippers, socks and ties and around 2.7% was spent on watches, up from last years 1.4%.
With little budget to spend and because of low prices available recently in the watches industry then a wrist watch was many peoples choice of the ideal gift for their father on Fathers Day.
Top brands chosen for Fathers were Casio, Timex, Adidas, Rotary and Nixon, closely followed by Black Dice, Obaku, Police Swatch and Ben Sherman.
Rotary were the number one choice brand of watches for the ideal gift, however this was for people with a vastly above average spend with the Rotary Gold watches range, crafted in solid 9ct Gold, being a best seller at this time of year.

Running Watches
Many professional athletes and in particular long distance runners have hailed digital watches as one of the reasons why man could progress so rapidly in athletics during the last few decades.
Runners especially take advantage of the technology incorporated into digital watches to give great functions and features for their sport.
Features such as lap times, counters, stopwatch and interval alarms were the first basic functions to be used but more recently features such as session data which can then be downloaded onto a computer for analysis, heart rate monitor, pulse rate monitor, calorie burn information and even GPS have been added to certain models of watches making runners have a vast array of information at their disposal.
Runners can then use this information to analyse their training or competition patterns and find parts of the race or areas that can be improved upon or to monitor their fitness levels or progress over time.
Having all this information available has helped many runners to improve their performances and especially for long distance runners, many of whom now rely on such technology with the Timex Triathlon range of watches being the favourites of many athletes.

Designer Watches Set fashion Trends
People who wear designer watches are also helping to set fashion trends. Many industry designers look at current trends, styles, shapes, colours and designs within the fashion market, scrutinising objects such as sunglasses, handbags, clothes and even watches, to see what the latest trends are and then they try to incorporate those trends into other items that they manufacture such as furniture, lamps, carpets and almost enything else.
Items such as watches are well known to be on the forefront of fashion with many watch manufacturers constantly researching the latest trends and colours and shapes to incorporate into their watch designs, and watch manufacturers must always be ahead of the game because their survival depends on it.
An industry insider said it was like the head of a record company looking around basement clubs looking for the next sound, only with fashion tastes are constantly changing and therefore it is a never ending quest.

Younger Generation Going for BIG Watches
According to "Watch It", the Canadian retailer, the younger generation of boys and girls are this season going for larger, bolder and brighter watch designs. This corresponds with recent trends which see younger people being more inclined to go for Casio or Timex digital watches which are bright in colour, large, bold and full of features.
Younger people are fast seeing watches as more than just a way of telling the time and are seeing them as more of a fashion accessory which makes a statement about their personality and showa their boldness.
Other brands of watches that are bang in line with this trend are LTD watches and Nixon watches.
LTD watches are bright, vivid and colourful and their watches are released in limited editions with each design only having a very small maufacturing run, sometimes as little as 100, while Nixon watches have many styles some with bright colours and modern even futuristic designs and trendy shapes that cater for the individuals taste. Both these brands of watches are having great success this season in the fashion market.

Cheap Adidas Watches
Those of you who buy watches on a regular basis will notice that finding the cheapest prices means not necessarily going to the manufacturers website.
Many manufacturers have their own site for selling their own watches - and you would think that this means as its their brand that they can give the lowest prices.
For example - Adidas sell watches at their own web store.. however the cheapest place in the UK to buy Adidas watches is at Watches Shop > Adidas Watches
This is because the manufacturer must stick to their own RRP, whereas independant retailers can reduce the price to whatever they want...so it means when you are looking for low prices on wrist watches then its not worth looking at the manufacturers shops, and instead looking for independent retailers.
