There is no doubt that some companies out there have done a great job of selling themselves as high end and elite, but no company, no brand name in the world is associated more with class, sophistication and, yes, expense, quite like Gucci. From clothing to accessories to award winning timepieces, this is a brand that has done it all and one that has helped to define what fashion is in the world for decades. Styles may change, but you can bet that this brand will be considered an elite designer for the foreseeable future.

What We Love About Gucci
A Gucci watch can be several different things. Their digital line is absolutely ground breaking, with its offset face, comfortable feel and ultra modern design. Their analog models are just as impressive, but for different reasons. They use interesting colors, patterns and designs to set themselves apart from all other major companies out there. In fact, a timepiece from this company is completely and utterly distinctive. There is very little chance that you will confuse this brand with any other, which is exactly what the designers’ want. When you wear a Gucci, it is obvious to everyone.

One recent innovation that this company has come up with is to create timepieces that are significantly less expensive than their normal line. This is an interesting move since this is a brand that has always identified as elite and often times expensive. However, when you reach a certain level of fame, you often want to branch out and allow those who may not normally be able to afford your items to buy them. It remains to be seen if this strategy works, but again, when you become the paragon of fashion, you decide what works and what doesn’t.
Some Things We Don’t Like About Gucci
When you are the lead horse in the fashion parade, just about everyone is angling for your spot. You pick the critic and they likely have something negative to say about these men’s watches. Some say they are too expensive, but then they turn around the next day and say they aren’t expensive enough. Some say that the designs are too complex, too obtrusive, but then the same critics claim that they have too many items that are plain and uninventive. The reality is, when you are the best, people are going to complain, even if they have nothing to really complain about.
History of the Brand
This brand has been around for a very long time, but they have only been in the business of making timepieces since 1997. Ask any of the old time Swiss companies and they will tell you that 12 years is nothing, but in that short amount of time, this brand has skyrocketed to the top of the world of designer timepieces. Today, few other companies are as beloved as this one, and for good reason. They consistently win awards for their style, craftsmanship and performance and likely will continue to for years. If you want a fine timepiece, look for the trademark Gucci insignia.
