Which are the top wrist watch companies in world?

written by 12 Comments posted in Articles

Imagine you’re looking for a watch. You know pretty much what you want, you have a limit budget, but you don’t know which model to choose. Looking for a watch may be as complicated as picking up a car or researching for your next digital camera. If you’re not in the industry there’s big chances you will spend a lot of time doing the research, plus you won’t get the certainty that you got the best deal.

Some people are not even interested in the story behind the watch as long as it’s cool, works without issues and makes other turn heads when they walk down the street. This is why I believe a post about the best wrist watch companies in the world is meant to help people choose the right watch based on the manufacturer, or at least avoid the bad brands.

The list I’ve included in this post is not referring to the wrist watch companies with the biggest profits or sales, it refers to brands by reputation and includes companies that are traditional watch companies, not fashion brands that also happen to own a watch line, like Gucci, Kalvin Klein, Armani and such (avoid those names at all costs). The list of the best wrist watch companies in the world that produce wrist watches is now ordered, it’s a ‘pool’ of names, if you like.

So, let’s see the list with the best wrist watch companies in the world:

  • Rolex
  • Cartier
  • Patek Philippe
  • TAG Heuer
  • Chopard
  • Bell
  • Nixon
  • Breitling
  • Audemars Piguet
  • IWC
  • Piaget
  • Omega
  • Breguet
  • Tissot
  • Jaeger-Le-Coultre
  • Girard-Perregaux
  • Longines
  • Rado
  • Vacheron Constantin
  • Hublot
  • A.Lange&Sohne
  • Raymond Weil
  • Baume & Mercier
  • Blancpain
  • Ulysse Nardin
  • Movado
  • Hamilton
  • Panerai
  • Jacob & Co.
  • Suunto
  • Zenith

Do you have any other names in mind? Let me know and I’ll include them in this list. Also if you feel like the list is incomplete or doesn’t include the correct watch brands feel free to leave a comment below.
