Bernex - A Genuine Swiss Watch
 Established in Switzerland in 1855, in the Watchmaking village of Les Breuleux, Bernex watches have been manufactured and sold by the Bouverat family worldwide for the past 140 years.
In 1919, part of the the family left Switzerland and founded Geo. Bouverat & Co. Ltd in the UK. They continued to provide quality Swiss timepieces under the Bernex Brand Name, working closely with leading retail jewellers throughout the UK to ensure that Bernex remain at the forefront.
Bouverat are proud of their Swiss origin, and timepieces are still imported from Les Breuleux, their original home, as well as other leading Swiss factories, to ensure Bernex is known as 'The' Swiss Watch.

Seiko
 Seiko was founded in 1881 with the first Seiko branded watch produced in 1924. Today Seiko is universally respected as one of the most advanced watches in the world, not only in performance but also in design & technology. Each Seiko watch is extremely accurate, crafted from precision components, some no larger than a pin-head, to the highest possible engineering standards.
Seiko has been the official time keeper for more than 120 national and international sporting events, including World Cup football, skating and skiing, motor racing, yachting, basketball and cycling. All testimony to Seiko's everlasting reliability.
Seiko have recently developed the world's most advanced range of wristwatch. The quartz watch that never required a battery... The Seiko Kinetic.
Seiko Kinetic technology eliminates the battery and captures the power of gravity to drive a miniature power plant within the watch. It is so efficient that only 3 minute movements of wearer's arm generates the energy for 5 hours time keeping. The watch automatically tells you when the power reserve is running low. Even when the power is drained the slightest movement will drive the rotor and start to power the watch once more.
Rado
A watch for the new Millennium.
Rado watches are unique in the fact that they are completely different, setting a trend rather than following one. As early as 1962 Rado produced the world's first scratchproof watch called the 'Diastar 1' made of hard metal.
By the 1980s' Rado were not only using sapphire crystal but also high tech ceramics, material that had been used in space flight and in the development of the space shuttle. This innovation manifested itself, firstly in the Diastar 'Integral' then in the Diastar 'Ceramica' and more recently in the Diastar 'Sintra'.
The raw material for high tech ceramics is a very fine powder which is pressed or injected into a mould. The powder is compacted into scratchproof ceramic parts in a sintering furnace of 1,450 0C. These parts are given their typical brilliance by polishing with diamond dust.
The Diastar 'Sintra' is an example of Rado's use of high tech ceramics, coupled with the brilliance of a platinum look and avant-garde design. It curves with the wrist, emitting cool elegance and a fascinating interplay of light and shadow.
In 1996 Rado made watch history, once again presenting a worldwide first with Diastar 'Concept 1'; the first watch made from polycrystalline diamond (PCD) - a material that has the same hardness as natural diamond.
The future is with Rado.
