The A, B, C's of Designer Watches at Discount Prices

What could be better than a brand new, never worn, designer watch at a price you can really and truly afford? Sometimes the saying "it's too good to be true" really is true! At discount prices, you don't need to wait for a holiday sale or special occasion to get yourself the watch you've always wanted.

Starting with A for Audemars Piguet, down to Z for Zenith, here is a quick rundown of designer watches, all at discount prices. From top brands like Breitling, Bvlgari, and Cartier, down to Gucci, Michele, TAG Heuer and more, see what's out there.

Audemars Piguet is known as one of the"top three" luxury watch brands in the world. AP has had immeasurable success over the years, especially with its Royal Oak collection which came out in the early 1970's and which many of its new watches are still modeled after. Known as the first high end sports watch made out of steel, the Royal Oak has left large footprints; its octagonal shape, steel edges, and use of hexagonal screws, serve as trademark features for many AP watches.

Breitling watches are mostly designed for and made for men. With large faces and hi-tech, complex functions, Breitlings are known as "instruments for professionals", and were originally made for aviation pilots. Although women can and do wear men's watches, Breitling watches typically look good on men. However, that is not to mean that women are left in the dust. There are a few models of women's watches: the Windrider Cockpit and Starliner and the Aeromarine Colt Oceane.

When you think of the word "discount" Bvlgari probably does not come to mind, however, it is very possible to own a Bvlgari watch and not pay a fortune. One of the top examples of Italian luxury, the brand Bvlgari is well known and desired, which is one reason why its watches are so popular among those that love labels; because almost every one blatantly shows the Bvlgari logo. The bezel has the word "Bvlgari" going around it, making it a true designer watch.

Like the Italians, the French are also producers of "haute couture" goods and Cartier watches are one of the best examples of this. For decades, Cartier watches, perhaps more than any other designer watch, have been found on the wrists of many people, from international royalty to modern day celebrities.

On to the letter "G." G for Gucci, the "God" of fashion. The secret to owning something Gucci? A Gucci watch. At discount prices you can easily find a Gucci watch for much less than you can a pair of Gucci pumps. Even as compared to Bvlgari and Cartier, Gucci watches sell for less but with no less bang. Many feature the prominent Gucci logo on the bracelet for all to see and admire.

Michele watches may not be as well known by name as some other designer brands, but they sure deserve mention. Michele watches are made for the confident, sexy woman that's not afraid to show it. With bold, bright colors, and cool, interchangeable straps (everything from animal print to shiny metallics), Michele watches are affordable fashion statements.

Omega watches have a long history and are great sports and "action hero" watches. With a grand array of high profile brand ambassadors like Nicole Kidman, George Clooney and Olympic champion Michael Phelps, Omega watches get their name and product out there.

TAG Heuer watches are for those that want to look good and wear a watch that can withstand some serious sweat and wear and tear. Promoted and worn by some of the world's top athletes, TAG watches are always a winning choice.

And last but not least, "Z" for Zenith. Zenith watches are known for their revolutionary mechanical workings and designs. Their innovations have resulted in over 1,000 "firsts" in the world of watchmaking. Zenith manufacturers their own mechanical movements and is particularly known for their standard movement, called the Elite and their chronograph called El Primero.

So, there you go, a quick review of some of the top designer watches. Remember, there are some things you should never pay retail for and watches are one of them!
