Besides Rolex, these famous watches also show your status

　　When mentioning high-end Swiss watches, perhaps the first brand that comes to your mind is Rolex rather than Patek Philippe. The reason you might not think of Patek Philippe is that it is like a high and mighty goddess, far out of reach; even if you have money, you may not necessarily be able to buy one. However,Rolex watchesis different, just like a wealthy and beautiful woman in daily life; even ordinary people can own one with a little effort.

　　Of course, the greatness of Rolex lies in its recognition by Chinese people all over the world, or in other words, its down-to-earth nature. Regarding Rolex, there is a saying: "Wherever there are Chinese people, someone will recognise a Rolex, and when needed, you can take it to pawn at any time." It is conceivable that owning a Rolex at least proves that you are doing well, and Rolex has also become a tool for many successful people to show off their taste.

　　Today, let's talk about which other famous watches, besides Rolex, can show your status.

　　Time Aviator: IWC

　　IWC initially claimed to only make men's watches. However, with the continuous rise of women's social status and the impressive performance of the women's watch market, IWC has also begun to venture into women's watches in recent years, even inviting Hollywood actresses and Zhou Xun to shoot watch campaigns together. Moreover, IWC has a very rich range of collections, such as the elegant Portofino, the highly sporty Pilot, the professional diving Aquatimer, and the complex Portugieser. Although it is slightly less well-known than Rolex, IWC's influence should not be underestimated.

　　Olympic Timekeeper: Omega

　　Omega's popularity in China is no less than that of Rolex and Longines. It is also one of the earliest brands to enter the Chinese market. As early as when Mao Zedong went to Chongqing for negotiations during the second KMT-CCP cooperation, Guo Moruo gave Mao Zedong an Omega watch. Omega has numerous watch collections, and the design of each collection is highly classic, such as the elegant De Ville, the noble Constellation, the dynamic Seamaster, and the professional chronograph Speedmaster series. Furthermore, Omega has always been the official partner of the Olympic Games, providing precise timing for the competitions. In recent years, it has also invited many popular stars as spokespersons, such as the popular domestic actor Li Yifeng.

　　Jewellery and gemstones: Cartier watches

In recent years, with the support of Roger Dubuis, Cartier has successively established its own movement manufactory and developed exceptional grand complication and artistic watch models. In terms of design, although the specifications of lower-end models have been subject to much debate, acclaimed collections such as the Ballon Bleu and Tank have long since captivated numerous elegant watch enthusiasts.
