Finding the Right watches for You
Records show that, in Europe, by the 16th century, it was high time for portable clock devices. Right now, perhaps you’re shopping for your own. If so, find a vast range of fashionable and functional antique, new and classic vintage watches on 1stDibs.
While wall-mounted time tellers and grandfather clocks were much more convenient than the sundials of ancient history, watches were becoming crucial for an increasingly connected society whose members learned that the latest advancements in technology meant they could carry devices that kept time to within a minute a day. Tragically, the first pocket watches — albeit an improvement on the accessories that preceded them, which dangled from a chain worn around the neck — didn’t help much as far as accuracy or portability. Focused on style over substance, the upper class frequently carried lavish pieces that ran hours behind.
Eventually, watches migrated from owners’ pockets to their wrists. In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.
Indeed, although exceedingly practical, the watches of today are far from bland. Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional watches. You’ll always know what time it is because you won’t be able to tear your eyes away from your new accessory.
Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.
When shopping for a watch, it’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.
Find exactly what you’re looking for in an unparalleled collection of antique, new and vintage watches on 1stDibs — we promise it will be worth your time.
Questions About 18k Geneva Watch
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Geneva mark on a watch is a seal that represents an exceptional level of quality. It is issued by a state-controlled independent bureau in Geneva. On 1stDibs, find a range of watches featuring a Geneva mark.
- Who makes Geneva watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The answer to the question of who makes Geneva watches depends on what you mean by the term Geneva watches. Some people refer to luxury timepieces made in Geneva, Switzerland, as Geneva watches. Some companies that produce timepieces in Geneva include Rolex, Patek Philippe, Baume et Mercier, Panerai, Piaget SA, Roger Dubuis and Vacheron Constantin. The Geneva Watch Group is also the name of a company that produces watches for various high-end brands. Among these Geneva watches are timepieces made by Kenneth Cole, BGBG Max Azaria, Cerutti 1881 and Saint Honoré. Explore a diverse assortment of watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024To identify your Geneva watch, examine the serial and reference numbers. Authentic timepieces made in the watchmaking capital come with certificates of origin and conformity. They also have serial and reference numbers indicating, respectively, the particular watch’s date of production and model. These can be researched to determine if the information conveyed by the number matches the watch it’s engraved on. Explore a collection of Geneva watches on 1stDibs.
- Are Geneva watches real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, Geneva watches are real gold. They're made with 14-karat gold and are never gold-plated.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024To tell if your Geneva watch is real, first refer to its Certificate of Origin and Conformity. Modern certificates include an identification code, which can be entered on the Geneva Seal website to verify the watch's authenticity. Some modern certificates also include a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone to confirm authenticity. If you have a watch without an identification code or don't have the certificate, first examine the watch's movement. Genuine Geneva watches are known for the exceptional quality of their movements. This is one of the most critical aspects to consider when evaluating a potential purchase for authenticity. So, inspect your watch's work carefully for craftsmanship and precision. Next, examine the overall quality of the watch. Poorly crafted parts are a telltale sign of a fake. Use a loupe or magnifying glass to examine each component's material, craftsmanship and distinctive details. You can also seek the expert opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of Geneva watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Whether Patek Philippe watches have the Geneva Seal on them depends on their age. Prior to the spring of 2009, all watches produced by the luxury Swiss watchmaker featured the seal, showing that they were manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland. Timepieces produced after that instead feature the Patek Philippe hallmark: two intertwined Ps positioned inside a shield. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Patek Philippe watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Whether a wedding band should be 14K or 18K depends on your personal preferences. Because it contains more pure gold, 18-karat gold will usually show off a richer color and be less likely to fade over time. On the other hand, 14-karat gold is less prone to scratching and damage because it has more alloy metals. Explore a large collection of gold wedding bands on 1stDibs.
- Is 18K gold good for earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, 18-karat gold can be good for earrings. Because it is an alloy, 18-karat gold is more durable and scratch-resistant than pure 24-karat gold. You can find 18-karat gold in rich warm yellow, cooler white with warm undertones and light pink rose. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of gold earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The difference between 14K and 18K white gold stud earrings comes down to the content of the precious metal alloy. Stud earrings made of 14-karat white gold are 58.3% gold and 41.7% base metal, while 18-karat gold is 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. As a result, 14-karat white gold tends to be stronger and more resistant to scratching, and 18-karat gold will have a more noticeable warm-glowing yellow tinge. On 1stDibs, shop a range of white gold stud earrings.
