A venerable Swiss brand established in 1914 in Biel/Bienne, Glycine is a pioneer in automatic and multi-time-zone watches, notably launching the iconic Airman in 1953—widely used by pilots and even taken into space by astronaut Pete Conrad on Gemini 5 in 1965. Glycine’s watches are celebrated for their functional, aviation-inspired design, robust stainless steel construction, sapphire crystals, and reliable Swiss automatic movements like ETA and Sellita Arato Watch.

HTD’s collections, such as the Hesagraph, blend retro flair with modern flair—its limited-edition models evoke the bold aesthetics of 1980s Miami disco, serving as collectible fashion statements with strong visual appeal.

Founded in 1886 in Neuchâtel, Mathey-Tissot built its reputation on crafting complex pocket- and repeater watches and has served prestigious clients like the British military and even Elvis Presley himself. Today, the brand offers accessible Swiss craftsmanship with 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal, and reliable ETA, Ronda, or Sellita movements—all assembled in Switzerland. Enthusiasts praise its classic aesthetics, sturdy build, and exceptional value for the price.

With an expansive lineup spanning over 30 collections—from Pro Diver to Subaqua—Invicta delivers bold, avant-garde style paired with robust functionality. Many models feature surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, Flame Fusion crystals (blending mineral and sapphire for enhanced scratch resistance), and both Japanese (e.g., Seiko NH35A) and Swiss (e.g., Sellita SW200) movements, including some “Swiss Made” variants. Priced accessibly with frequent promotions—and backed by a five-year warranty—Invicta stands out for delivering high-impact aesthetics and solid mechanics at an excellent value.
