The little-known secrets of Noob factory watches
When purchasing a classic watch, I feel that my choice is an entirely personal preference. The object of my affection will endure through time, passed down across generations. But in truth, classic watches are no longer what they used to be. A Noob factory watch available todayN Factory Watches, regardless of brand or collection, has never stood still. Times change, but only those classics remain unchanged, leaving us with the memories of an era.

Watch dimensions
The most significant change is the size of the watch; the classic 38 mm men's timepiece is a thing of the past. This dimension is now the domain of ladies' watches, whilst men's watches have shifted to 41 mm or even larger case diameters. Dials have also discarded the prudent charm of the twentieth-century 60s; hands, numerals and markers have become larger and more prominent, even adopting three-dimensional layouts. Furthermore, traditional stainless steel cases have been largely replaced by more complex alloys. Similarly, watches featuring resin glass crystals have been superseded by more cost-effective sapphire crystal glass.

Master of camouflage
If you confront designers, they will tell you that their initial motivation for redesigning classic watch dials, bezels and movements was to adapt to changing times. In truth, however, they are genuine masters of camouflage. When the market is booming, their job is to "replicate" past works and make them look like the latest creations; when the market is less favourable, they are tasked with dressing entirely new watches in vintage attire.
