Just what are Designer Watches? Have you ever asked yourself that? And how are they any different than fashion watches, or even so-called luxury watches? Are these just terms made up by marketers to distinguish the indistinguishable and commonplace? What do horologists, watch fanciers and connoisseurs, have to say about the likes of Burberry Watches?
Even they will actually use terms like "designer watches" when discussing the most esoteric of hobbyist topics, yet few if any would consider it a meaningful pair of words. Does an allegedly famous designer's endorsement make it a designer watch? The questions are almost endless. After all, most so-called designer watches don't even bear any real direct input from the alleged designer, save for a quick approval for a batch of designs to be released under his or her name. That's all. It's often some anonymous art school graduate that thought up of the look and feel. Is this true of all brands like Burberry Watches, DKNY or LaCoste and all their makes? Not likely. But designer watches do often refer to a category of timepieces that are mainly meant for show. They are fully functional, to be sure, and some even have real instruments like compasses and bezels built right in, but all are really meant to be fashion accessories - jewelry - than real practical tools.
Of course, they are useful, and in the case of chronographs they are quite multitalented, with a rich set of features. But again, the vast majority is meant to complement an outfit and say something about the wearer than about the time, or weather, or tides (in the case of those bearing instruments on board, as previously mentioned). More showpiece than timepiece, these wristwatches will have a number of horologists sniffing at their commonness of movement and the obviousness of their design, intended to simply cash in on the latest trend or name in fashion.
The inventory of these types of Burberry Watches and the like, can run the gamut of fun and functionality, from sophisticated multipurpose chronographs to those with radio and television tuners in them. And, truth be told, many designer or fashion watches are interesting to look at, such as manufacturer TokyoFlash's Nekura Scramble models or, even more revolutionary, their Twelve 5-9 line. Fashion watches, luxury watches, whatever they're called, it's all "in the eye of the beholder."
Some simply treasure the label, others like the overall look, and still others will consider the mechanical or digital innards a source of fascination and delight. As long as interest is stirred and feelings of fulfillment are engendered, does it really matter - so long as "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet?"
