The Captivating Appeal of Men’s Watches
In an age where mobile devices are ubiquitous, it’s hardly surprising that people were predicting the inevitable end of the wristwatch. After all, why would you need one when you’ve got instant access to basically all human knowledge in your pocket?
As it turns out, however, those predictions couldn’t have been more wrong. Wristwatches, with their timeless style and rich historical background, have only gotten more popular in recent years, as people look for authenticity and individuality in an increasingly digital world.
This has been noticed by savvy watchmakers, who have picked up on the desire for affordable luxury and created a whole new genre of beautiful watches perfectly suited for the needs of the modern man. The most famous example of this ‘new wave’ of watchmakers is Filippo Loreti.
Filippo Loreti’s Business Model
Unlike traditional watchmakers, who charge eye-wateringly high prices justified by prestige and expensive marketing techniques, Filippo Loreti has a focus on delivering the highest quality at the lowest cost.
This means direct-to-consumer purchases, cutting out unnecessary and expensive middle-men. It means manufacture based on demand, so you know that your watch is being made just for you. It also means delivery straight from the workshop to your door, making it easier than ever to add a new watch to your collection.
Unencumbered by the less desirable aspects of the traditional watchmaking industry (unrealistic pricing, lack of innovation, slow to embrace new designs and colors), Filippo Loreti is able to offer frequent releases of fresh and exciting designs.
For example, rather than react to trends, Filippo Loreti now sets the trends, with the runaway popularity of its green watch collection a case in point. Once considered out of bounds as a color for luxury watches, Filippo Loreti has helped to push green firmly into the mainstream. Perhaps you’re considering a gorgeous green watch for this holiday season?
