Well, the thing that keeps popping up is “Swiss-made.” They keep throwing that term around like it’s some kinda magic spell. And honestly, it kinda is. When a watch says “Swiss-made,” it’s supposed to mean quality, precision, the whole shebang. Apparently, Burberry makes sure their watches have that Swiss pedigree, both in terms of the movement inside and the actual manufacturing location. Fancy!
I saw one mentioned, the Burberry The City BU9380 Chronograph. It’s a Swiss-made chronograph, so it’s got all those little subdials and whatnot. Swiss quartz movement, they say. Now, some watch snobs (yeah, they exist) might scoff at “quartz” because it’s battery-powered and not all fancy-pants mechanical. But hey, quartz is accurate! It keeps time reliably, which, let’s be real, is kinda the point of a watch, right?
And then there’s the Burberry Men’s Swiss Chronograph Gray Ion Steel. Okay, that’s a mouthful. But the main takeaway? Swiss movement again! It’s like they’re hammering it home: “We’re not just a fashion brand slapping our name on some cheap timepiece!” And you know, that’s probably true. They seem to be using high-quality movements known for being precise and reliable… at least that’s what they want you to think. I personally never had a Burberry watch.
Speaking of which, someone’s selling a Burberry Heritage Men’s Watch Model: BU1350 and a Burberry Women’s BU7817 The Utilitarian Analog Swiss Quartz Movement Leather Watch over at eBay. Sounds very official.
Now, here’s where my brain gets a little fuzzy. All this talk of “Swiss-made” and “Swiss movement” makes me wonder… are they *really* worth the price? I mean, Burberry is a fashion brand first, watchmaker second (or maybe like, tenth). You’re paying for the name, let’s not kid ourselves. But if you like the look of a Burberry watch, and you appreciate that they’re at least *trying* to make something decent with that Swiss stuff, then go for it.
Honestly, I like how the article mentions anti-reflective sapphire glass. That’s a nice touch and makes it look better.
