Zenith is very underrated. The 1969 el primero is legendary. One of the best if not the best chronograph fast beating movement. Even the like of daytona used it.
I have a Brazilian Orient, caliber 469, here they say it's a bricklayer's watch, a construction worker. In Brazil he is the king, the Swiss watch would not last a day in everyday life. However, a Swiss watch is elegance and social status. My best regards from Brasil, Great vídeo!
Although it's a good list overall, and with all respect to the brands mentioned in the comments, but how can Breguet be omitted from a 17-swiss brands list??
@@MENSA.lady2 Yes you did miss something, Breguet IS a Swiss watch brand part of the Swatch Group and that makes very high end watches. It was founded in 1775 in France by Louis Abraham Breguet, a watchmaker many consider the best of all times, and inventor of the Tourbillion mechanism, and also invented a type of automatic watch, and high precision watches(for that era), and for the French Court. The Breguet you mention is part of the Dassault-Breguet French aviation conglomerate, a more modern company, and has nothing to do with the Swiss Breguet. You can try to search that to convince yourself.
Many thanks, a great video, but a small point of clarity, Omega did not invent the coaxial escapement! It was invented by the British watchmaker George Daniel who then passed it on to Omega.
I am a Rolex lover but have recently been introduced to the relatively new Swiss watch brand, Norqain. Do you have any thoughts on Norqain? By the way, your video on the 17 Best Swiss Watch Brands is absolutely amazing! Please keep your videos on watches coming! Great job!
Great video!!! Keep up the good work. I am a Rolex fan boy but I plan to buy a Hamilton Ventura, JLC worldtime, Vacheron fiftysix, and even though it's not on the list, probably a Cartier Santos... But honorable mention to Blancpain, I love the fifty fathoms. And also Breguet, they have nice watches if I could a afford, I would buy.
I am so surprised that Blancpain, Breitling and Cartier did not make it on the list and yet, many of the department store brands did, that makes no sense
Good evening LADY ? I am not a watch collector. I just have wrist watches as the best tool to keep myself on the right time. Anyways, I do love watches, Cloc'ks . . . for different reasons. I'm surprised that you mentioned some brand that I picked for your different personal purposes. Hamilton, TISSOT; these two ones. The TISSOT gave several conversations, I say not a word but it were nice times. Good relations, good well times of human conversations. Truth is that I consider myself a minimalist. So, I prefer field watches. ETA, MIYOTA, SELLITA Calibers, plus Chronograph accurate. Thank you, Lady ?
Missing on the list are Breguet Rado Mido Gerard Peregaux Gerald Genta Revue and Thommen Ball Carl F. Bucherer Zenith El Primero Tag Heuer And the affordable independent ones like Mondaine and West End Watch Co. Luminox
Hi dear I'm most of the time between a TISSOT GENTLEMAN and a HAMILTON KAKHI field watch among other few watches. I targeted an Oris Big 38mm. Other passion-manias are on my horizon, my commuting side . . .
What happened with Blancpain, Breguet, Cartier, A. Lange & Sohne, Glashutte, Panerai, Piaget, Zenith, Bovet, F.P. Journe, H. Moser & Cio, Bvlgari, they have to do this video and put them.
FP Journe would have been my inclusion in the Top 10. For history of technical achievement, Zenith would have been included in my list. It's bewildering that names like Frederique Constant and Baume & Mercier are in the list and yet not Cartier. Sure, Cartier is first and foremost a jewelry brand. But they have for the last many decades created their own movements and combined with their iconic Tank and Santos names, the list would not be complete without Cartier.
FP Journe , Breguet, and Cartier are serious omissions, better candidates than Frederique Constant, Tissot, and Maurice Lacroix. These are among the very best. Top 10 for sure. FP Journe is among the top 3.
1) Omega didn't /invent/ the co-axial escapement, it was invented by George Daniels. 2) numerous spelling and grammatical errors on screen throughout the video, 3) should have included Girard Perregaux.
@@corporatemcmahon2815 She only repeated the script that was given to her. Most of the Watch technicians working on/at all companies, refardless if they are Swiss, German, Japanese, Chinese, American, have been historically women. So there is no male spaces here at all. And it were women who helped many watch companies to rise to where they are now. But many Chauvinist males inside/outside the industry negate this fact. My niece was trained at the Lititz Watch Institute in Pennsylvania, and now works for PP after having been an apprenticeship with Rolex in the mid 1990s.
There are so many brands not mentioned. I own both mechanical and quartz watches. Watch purists turn up their noses at the quartz line, but cate of these watches is simple compared to mechanical watches. Servicing the mechanical watches can be a problem, because many watchmakers refuse to handle these complex watches, and even more skilled people will only handle certain brands making service a nightmare.
My Dad was in the RAF from 1941 to 1968, and, as aircrew, he was always issued with a watch. The last one I can remember, we he got in about 1960, was a Jaeger-LeCoultre. I have to say, it was probably the ugliest watch I've ever seen! Massive brushed stainless steel case, with a light ochre face, blued steel hands and a tan pigskin strap - ugly but functional! Never found one similar on the 'net though. I love my steel/gold Omega Seamaster and my wife has a steel/gold/diamond Constellatiom - great brand!
Seiko is the legacy Japanese watchmaker that invented the quartz movement but still makes automatic watches. Japanese quartz are very accurate and are comparable to Swiss quartz. Automatic movements are a bigger topic, but Japanese mechanical watches are very good, as well.
An excellent demo. Of some of the well known brands of Swiss Watches. U did very well n God bless.
Thank you!
great intro into the history and heritage of Swiss watches.
I love Tissot and seiko.
Yass! 😍
Shame Seiko is Japanese
My favourite watch is the Omega Seamaster that was worn by my late father in the early seventies.
I have 2 Omega . Its a good watch . But Grand Seiko is Even Better !
Also missing Zenith
@@ivanronin8209 grand shitco is made in China.
Very nice, I shall again watch.
A very, according to me, beautiful topic on watches is shown here.
Where are Girard Perregaux, Zenith, TAG Heuer, Breitling ??!!
Quite a few omissions like Ball Watch the first brand to introduce watch standards. Another is Moser & Cie ....
Zenith is very underrated. The 1969 el primero is legendary. One of the best if not the best chronograph fast beating movement. Even the like of daytona used it.
@@GEMINICT moser & cie is another level i guess.
@@SuperCamineros They are beautiful love the brand.
Prolly not in the shill group this channel is apart of.
Nice informative vloggg
Thanks for sharing. Love watches & collect articles on them. My favourite Tissot
Tissot is one of my favorite watch brands also. Thank you for watching!
Rolex and Tissot the two is my the very best watches for me👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️
What about Michael Kors?

Thanks ❤
I like Tudor, Rolex, Omega! Thanks
I would have mention a honor addition: Swatch. Those little fun colorful pieces saved the industry when needed the most!
Most Swatch brands are a joke to serious watch guys.
I enjoyed your presentation
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice ..
Are FaberLeuba and Everswiss still made ..
Great job, thank you. I can think of Piaget, as innovators with the Altiplano. There are many others brands. Diversity is great
Omega, Rolex, Tag heuer, Tudor, Tissot, Casio and Seiko my top list and as my favorites .
Good choice!

IWC, Omega, Longines are favs
What about Breitling?
Vulcain, Enicar, Zenith. Hello!
What about the Certina DS action 38. This is a great watch from one of the best brands of Switzerland.
Tag Heuer ? Isnt good enouph but Tissot is? Zenith ? Breitling?
You forgot Tissot is one of the sponsors of moto GP race ! Thanks’
I am so surprised that Blancpain, Breitling and Cartier did not make it on the list and yet, many of the department store brands did, that makes no sense
Please teach us more on Eterna watches.
Very nice choices, although some are missing 👍🏽
You did not mention RADO & TAG HEUER even though they are both well respected Swiss Brands Any reason/s why they did not make to your list ?
Can you review a Birnbaum? I've been told quite a bit of its history. I don't believe it. But its been solid.
Hamilton is included in this "17 best SWISS watch brands". :-) And there is no Blancpain, which is definitely in the top 10.
My all time favorite are Mido and Seiko
Seiko...an underpriced PHENOMENON...the Japanese 🍡..out did themselves...as ALWAYS... intelligent and affordable
How about choppard,Piaget,Jacob&co,bell&Ross,Oris,zenith,
Can you review Raymond Weil please.

Forgot one of most important watch Breguet
I’m saving this so I know how to pronounce all those names!
Good evening LADY ?

I just have wrist watches as the best tool to keep myself on the right time.

Hamilton, TISSOT; these two ones.

but it were nice times. Good relations, good well times of human conversations.
Truth is that I consider myself a minimalist. So, I prefer field watches. ETA, MIYOTA, SELLITA Calibers, plus Chronograph accurate.
Thank you, Lady ?
ishai . is there any news about eterna co. ?
What about Fortis and Glycine?
What's your opinion on Edox?? I can't find it in any ranking
Because it's a shitter
Missing on the list are Breguet

TISSOT GENTLEMAN and a

I targeted an Oris Big 38mm.
Other passion-manias are on my horizon, my commuting side . . .
What happens to tag heuer
I don’t know what criteria was used in this ranking.😅
Longines is the best value!❤
Spell check would also be beneficial.
Mido?
you buy a rolex to impress your friends and you buy a grand seiko to impress yourself!
I own 2 RADO watches and they are my favourites. Swiss automatics and accurate and gorgeous
not anymore ! Seiko is much more accurate and better !
You forgot Brietling 😉😉
Well you missed out one of the best high end brands ! Girard Perregaux. Check it out.
What about Favre Leuba? That is the second oldest watch brand in the world
Maksudnya yg bukan ember pneumatic
Longines is also the official timekeeper for the Federation Internationale du Ski (FIS).
Maurice Lacroix aikon automatic 42mm 😍😍 2150€
JLC and AP is my favourite
Thank you!
I like how the brand names of the watches are pronounced.
I love elite and seiko
Thank you!
Eberhard ?
Surprised you didn't mention Gerrard Perregaux. Which is a much better brand with more history and horology than more than half your list.
My fav is Casio G-Shock ...
No Piaget?
Where is Certina?
Wheres Girard Peregaux? Rado?
I have oris big day date diver love it
Number,,ONE👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Hamilton is best affordible swiss made watch. Not crazy expensive but it's very solid
Where are blancpian 😢
I have no idea how the ranking was decided
I'm been an avid watch collector since 1970...
Rado?

Omega is a classic time piece 🧩
Patek and A. Lange are the best that monney can buy.

WHAT ABOUT THE "FOTTIS"? I THINK ONE OF THE BEST IN WATCH MAKING. THE FIRST AUTOMATIC WATCH.
The piano is annoying and disturbing.

Seiko is the legacy Japanese watchmaker that invented the quartz movement but still makes automatic watches. Japanese quartz are very accurate and are comparable to Swiss quartz. Automatic movements are a bigger topic, but Japanese mechanical watches are very good, as well.
Whats ubout Taghoyer
That is a non-existant brand I'm afraid.
