WENGER

Wenger watches are designed to meet the most rigorous military requirements. The specifications would impress even the boldest watchmaker. Our watches must withstand use in extreme cold and humidity; withstand impacts, magnetism, and sudden changes in altitude. During the Swiss Commando Raid, which brings together military teams from fifteen countries, our watches are subjected to the worst that can be inflicted on a timepiece, and not on our laboratory test benches, but for real. As far as we are concerned, it is simply unthinkable that even one of our watches would not stand up to this terrible ordeal. The watches that we market throughout the world are exactly the same as those worn by the winning patrol in the Swiss Commando Raid. You can wear them without fear during your sporting or leisure activities.

Like Swiss Army knives, all of our timepieces are designed to be truly useful and to provide lasting satisfaction. The collection is split into various families. This range of Swiss Made watches caters to every aspect of traditional usage.

Some models have silver escutcheons, for aesthetic reasons. Every Wenger watch is covered by a 3 year warranty and incorporates the same basic qualities as the Swiss Army knife - ingenuity, functionality, reliability and, above all, remarkable value for money.

CROTON

Switzerland, an iconic country famous for a people of an impeccable nature, from whom the most precise instruments of time measurement are generated, located in a region that is married to the greatest producer of high fashion the world over, Italy.  Within the Italian landscape lies a city, historically known for the intelligence, strength and physical beauty of its inhabitants; CROTON.

The global position of a land possessing people who excelled at precision, strength and beauty led to the natural selection of Croton as the namesake for a timepiece company who sought to establish its very essence on quality, precision and style back in 1878, more than 130 years ago.

As Croton evolved through the years it remained loyal to its origins, always striving to innovate and captivate consumers with its ability to consistently create highly sought after timepieces, ever so precise, at a value all are quick to recognize. By the mid 1900’s Croton had become one of the most sought after and respected names in watches. In 1991 the brand was acquired by Nationwide Time, a family owned business specializing in the manufacture and wholesale of fine timepieces for generations. Nationwide Time had been searching for the right brand to infuse their experience, energy and passion into and they found it in Croton. Nationwide Time President David Mermelstein explains “ our family had been quite successful in the watch business since the 1960’s. We were looking to take our business to the next level and we knew that the time had come to either create or acquire a brand that we could build and work with, for generations to come. When we learned about Croton’s rich and prestigious history coupled with the fact that like our company, Croton had always been family owned, we instinctively knew that Croton was exactly what we had been waiting for.”

From the start, the Mermelsteins' goal for Croton was clear; to embellish Croton’s already stellar image by producing the highest quality timepieces at the best value possible, supported by a rare lifetime warranty on every watch movement. Within this very demanding framework, Croton assembled an impressive team of experts who continually challenged themselves to produce wonderous time tracking devices, built from concept to production, by the very best designers and craftsmen utilizing the very finest materials available.

Demand for Croton merchandise has never been stronger with more than one million watches sold in 2007 alone. To meet those demands, production has increased to a minimum of 250 new styles annually. Croton has unequivocally established itself as the “benchmark of quality, precision, style and design” within the timepiece industry. With over 5000 points of distribution in place, Croton has become a recognized brand name that resonates affectionately with retailers and consumers alike. In addition to Crotons retail presence, the brand also sits at the pinnacle of one of the most watched shopping channels, Shop NBC, reaching an estimated 67 million homes on a monthly basis.

Open just about any timepiece publication and most likely you will find advertisements, editorials or both featuring the Croton brand name. Croton’s popularity has increased significantly, not only with the general public, but the celebrity set as well. Some of the Hollywood’s most recognizable names are Croton owners such as; Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Natalie Cole, Quincy Jones, Joe Mantegna and Josh Groban just to name a few.

This year Croton reached a milestone with its 130th anniversary and reinvented itself as the “Croton Group.”Based on the company’s winning philosophy of creating high quality, value based products, the “Croton Group” segmented its portfolio of brands, which include Nicolet, Andre Girroud, Manhattan and Paul DuPree each targeting specific demographics and price points, as well as its first foray into the prestigious exotic leather goods market, with the introduction of its Nina Raye handbag and accessories collection.

FOSSIL

Fossil was founded in 1984 as Overseas Products International. Their main product was fashion watches with a retro look. In 1990, they introduced leather goods under the Fossil brand, and the Relic line of watches.

Fossil had an IPO in 1993

Zodiac was a Swiss brand that had been operating since 1882 when Fossil acquired it in 2001 to give them a higher end brand. Fossil's desire to establish a Swiss presence led to the purchase of the Zodiac Watch brand and a complete retooling of that line to reflect a retro modern 1970s style in a higher end watch. The 2004 purchase of Michele Watch completed the cycle by offering a high-end Swiss watch with a designer flair.

Fossil has been very successful with its own brands and this success has led to companies coming to Fossil to create licensed watch lines. The licensed watch lines that Fossil designs, manufactures, and distributes.

In reference to the Air France crash shouldn't planes have an analog backup system?

Alright from preliminary data from the Black Box from the Air France that crashed 2 years ago in the Atlantic the computer was giving faulty information. Shouldn't planes that are computer controlled have Analog back up systems like Artificial Horizon, Altitude and Air Speed independent of the computer should the system fail as suggested on Air France?

If you think about it a plane that is computer only and the power goes out which happened to a Swiss Air flight off Canada or inaccurate readings; wouldn't Analog back ups give the pilots a better chance of recovering a plane in distress than flying blind with whacked out computer information? And is there any device that is being studied on that can help a Pilot flying in the Black night sky, feel or see or indicate that the plane is more than 45 Degrees left or right to prevent the plane from rolling over or going into a dive or step climb? Or do planes have such a system other than the shaking of the control stick?

Oh no, computers are great, they can do everything; pilots are just a**holes that get in the way.

Now you know why us old farts aren't really enamored with glass and boxes.
