Why Wenger Watches Continue To Be One Of The Most Desired

In 1893 the noted Wenger watches first came into existence. It was at a time when watches were as much fashion accessories as they were used to tell the time. Wenger watches did nothing to convert that fact. Instead they glorified in it. Wenger watches were designed to look good. They were designed for population with too much money whose main attention in life was how good they looked. The time was a secondary factor; possibly they never bothered to even look.

The history of the watch as a fashion accessory can be tracked back to the very earliest watches on sale in France in 1574. They were more like a diamond necklaces than a watch and such were very costly and very few population owned one. If you were lucky sufficient to own a watch, and it was small to the upper classes, then you were dealt with a lot of respect. Or if the occasion arose robbed of it.

Watches as a luxury item did not convert for hundreds of years. Why this is not certain, any way possibly it has something to with them kept as merely an object of fashion. Rather than finding new ways to enhance them or even to make them cheaper the next major shift seems to the introduction of waistcoats with pockets that the watch could slip into.

It was no better in England than it was in France. diamond bearings rendered them unaffordable to all but a few people. It was not until machines were industrialized to make watches that they became more ready to the normal public. In the early part of the 19th century these machines were industrialized and started to make watches at a good rate, though these watches still related with the upper classes. Much straight through habit rather anyone else. When it became apparent there was money to be made from the watches, factories started to appear in the cities and the prices came down drastically. It still wasn't a practical item any way and population were rushing to buy them merely to look good.

However the firm has gone straight through many major shifts. In 1895 a group called Delsberg took over then the firm merged soon after with Schweitzer. For practically ten years the firm remained unchanged until 1907 when Theo Wenger became sole owner. The biggest convert for the firm came only one year later when Wenger started to shop Swiss army knives and then in 2003 the Swiss firm Tools globally.

The Wenger firm have all the time maintained a high quality which also means costly and today their watches are on sale for in the middle of 0 to 0.
