Watches in the Accessories Wardrobe
No accessory signals more per square inch. A colored fashion watch is read as playfulness, a slim dress watch as formality, a large steel watch as sport, and retailers range their cases accordingly, fashion lines for rotation, heritage brands for permanence. The eco-friendly solar line in GemTime's range marks the category's newer direction: fashion watches adopting the technology story, charge by light, no battery changes, that quartz fashion watches once lacked.
For guidance beyond retail, the watch guide and designer pages linked from this directory cover styles, designers and wholesale sources, so a shopper can arrive at a watch store already knowing which family of watch, fashion, dress, sport or certified pre-owned luxury, the purchase belongs to.
Common Questions
What is a fashion watch, as opposed to a luxury watch?
A fashion watch is designed as an accessory first: styled to seasons and color trends, produced under fashion brands or dedicated fashion lines, and priced for wardrobe rotation. GemTime's TOCS line states the formula in its name, Timepieces of Color and Style, with over 20 colors matched to industry color trends. Luxury watches, the authorized-brand world Tourneau represents, sell movement craft, heritage and precious materials at investment prices.
Why buy a watch from an authorized retailer?
Authenticity and warranty. Tourneau's offer states both: authorized retailer status for top brands since 1900, a five year warranty on new watches, and certified authentic pre-owned watches with a two year warranty. Grey-market watches can undercut on price but arrive without the maker's warranty and with authenticity the buyer must judge alone, a poor trade on a high-value watch.
Are pre-owned watches a good buy?
Certified pre-owned is the disciplined way to buy them. A certified authentic program inspects the watch, guarantees it is what it claims to be, and backs it with a warranty, two years in Tourneau's case, converting a private-sale gamble into a retail purchase. Fashion watches at lower prices rarely need that machinery; for prestige brands it is close to essential.
