A bit of history
An interesting fact is that it is not at all Switzerland and the Swiss are the pioneers of watchmaking. The history of watches began with the fact that in the 16th century a kind of Protestant republic was formed in Geneva, and it was there, after the split of the official church - the so-called Reformation - that the best watchmakers from different European countries found refuge, hiding from religious persecution.

Already at the beginning of the 17th century, the Geneva Watchmakers' Workshop was founded, which housed more than one hundred artisans. Since many former jewelers have retrained as watchmakers, the watches produced have become a real work of art. In the future, such a large number of skilled watchmakers became cramped in one town, and they gradually dispersed throughout the country.
Let's consider the chronology of the most important events in the production of Swiss watches:
- 1770 - The first chronometers with a self-winding function are invented;
- 1801 - the tourbillon appears - a device that compensates for the influence of gravity on the correctness of the watch;
- 1804 - the first watch factory is under construction;
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy.jpeg)
- 1842 - a pendulum-based winding watch is invented;
- the end of the 19th century - a chronograph, calendar and other additional functions are built into watch devices;
- the beginning of the 20th century - an automatic machine was created that independently cut out watch plates and gears;
- 1967 - quartz watches appear, launched into mass production after 3 years;

Features and Benefits
In addition to the already legendary accuracy of movement, women's Swiss watches are distinguished by practicality and convenience, which are provided by an ergonomic case shape, illumination, a chronograph and other important functions. The cases made of steel and titanium are shock-resistant and equipped with the highest degree of water resistance; they can be safely taken on the most extreme hikes. Mineral and sapphire crystals perfectly protect the finished product from scratches.
Real Swiss watches are designed to serve their owner as long as possible, as they are high quality products.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-11.jpg)
One of the undoubted advantages of products of this kind is manual production. However, this does not mean at all that such accessories are assembled entirely by hand. Thus, the vast majority of Swiss watch movements are created with the help of automated systems, however, their work is supervised by high-class experts who do not allow even a minimum percentage of defects. Among other things, ladies' wristwatches made in Switzerland are distinguished by an incredibly attractive design.

Types and models
There are many types and models of women's Swiss watches. The first thing to decide on: quartz, electronics or mechanics.
The main advantage of quartz watches is their perfect accuracy. The mechanism of this watch uses a microscopic quartz crystal, powered by a battery. Average service life on one battery is 3 years.
Quartz Swiss watches are more shock resistant than mechanical ones.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-2.jpeg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-15.jpg)
In terms of prestige and reliability, modern mechanical Swiss watches are much higher than quartz ones. Such a watch does not work from a battery, but from the unwinding of a spiral spring that controls the arrows. There are two types of mechanical watches, different in the way of "construction" of the spring: manual and automatic winding. The first ones need to be wound up once a day by twisting the crown, and the second ones are wound up automatically from the movements of the hand on which the watch is worn.

If the negative aspects of quartz watches include the need for regular battery replacement, the mechanics are very susceptible to damage, element depreciation and temperature changes. Basically, the movements of women's Swiss watches are made on the basis of quartz. There are few mechanical models, since they are not very much in demand among women, because, as a rule, the fairer sex has more than one pair of hours, and winding up several mechanisms in the morning is a rather dreary task.

According to the shape of the case, women's Swiss wrist watches exist: traditional round, official rectangular, square, everyday barrel-shaped and business oval. Unique watches of non-standard shape - asymmetric, wavy, star-shaped and others - are gaining more and more popularity.The dial itself can have a variety of shades (white, black, gray, blue, blue, green, silver, mother-of-pearl, gold, yellow, beige, brown, red, pink, burgundy, purple or orange).

The dial of a ladies' Swiss watch may have Arabic or Roman numerals, or simply different indexes instead. Bracelets for women's Swiss watches are steel, titanium, textile, leather, rubber and ceramic. While a chronograph (a window with a date) can be seen quite rarely in a women's watch, the hypertrophied image of a well-known logo is very popular.

Design and decor
In addition to the classic design, in women's Swiss watches, you can often find decor with semi-precious stones-inserts, rhinestones, zircons, cubic zirconias, Swarovski crystals and even diamonds. Modern movements, dressed in luxurious design, are genuine works of jewelry.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-39.jpg)
Experiments with form and materials these days concern not only the case and its components, but also the bracelet, which in the case of female models comes to the fore - serves as a bright complement to the image. So, the bracelet can be a kind of continuation of the case, it can have shocking inserts-rings, elegant links-beads, democratic contrasting stitches or "animal" embossing of the strap.

How to distinguish a fake?
Pay attention to the markings on the built-in mechanism. The largest supplier of watch movements in Switzerland is ETA. This is followed by Ronda, ISA, Unitas and Valjoux.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-80.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-92.jpg)
A watch is considered Swiss only if it has passed the final testing in Switzerland itself, and the watch mechanism:
- entirely Swiss made;
- placed in a building directly on the territory of Switzerland;
- consists of more than half of Swiss parts.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-81.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-82.jpg)
The Swiss made and Swiss markings contain only genuine Swiss watches. The most expensive exclusive copies may have the inscription Geneva or Geneve. In the event that only the watch mechanism is made in Switzerland, and the watch itself is assembled in another country, the word movement is added to the word Swiss. Swiss Parts denotes that only a few of the parts are Swiss made.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-83.jpg)
Due to the immense popularity of Swiss watches, fraudsters often pass off low-quality products as the original, selling them at an incredible cost.
To recognize a counterfeit, you need to focus on the following details:
- the hands of real Swiss watches do not twitch, but gently move along the dial;
- the bracelet of luxury watches is always made of high-quality leather or precious metal;
- expensive watches have a quality certificate indicating an individual number;
- detailed instructions and a guarantee must be attached to the originals;
- an elite branded model is never sold without branded packaging.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-84.jpg)
Which ones to choose?
A wide variety of women's models of Swiss watches in different price categories allow you to choose exactly what you need. These watches have different purposes: some are perfect for business (classic on a leather bracelet), others - for social recreation (elegant model with a gilded frame), others are indispensable for sports activities (shock-resistant chronograph), and the fourth will be useful for hikes or tourist trips ( waterproof for snorkeling).

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2017/08/zhenskie-shvejcarskie-chasy-86.jpg)
It is better to choose an uncomplicated classic model as a gift. Few people like catchy shades and pretentious design. It is more rational to focus on brand reliability and elegant feminine style.
