ZEPPELIN MEN'S WATCHES

I would hazard a guess that there is no one in the world that doesn't know about the early 20^th century colossal airships. The majestic royal skies, designed by German Baron Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin, were practically the first usable transport means for carrying passengers over long distances. Their glorious era was not ended until the luxurious Hindenburg caught fire in 1937. Exactly five decades after this disaster, the founders of the Bavarian company POINT tec decided that the once dazzling shine of airships and the pioneering spirit of their creators should not be forgotten, as this would be a pity. It didn't take long and it was decided – a watch is going to become the modern reincarnation of the former pride of Germany. From the very beginning the new brand didn't lack courage. Zeppelin watches needed to be technically advanced, customers had to speak out for their excellent value for money and, most importantly, in order to fulfil their historical responsibility to the legendary designer, they had to be made directly in Germany by experienced watchmakers. In the individual model lines, named in accordance with the theme of airships, the Zeppelin brand strives for the greatest possible variety of watches. Although the division of the current fourteen series between men and women is as much a matter of course as the brilliant workmanship, it's nevertheless it cannot go unnoticed that men's watches have a number of advantages. Almost without exception, these are models with a contemporary but still period design, which seeks a muse in historical watches for pilots and travellers. In addition to the watch appearance, the processing of mostly leather hand-sewn straps and the steel case dimensions held in the borders of 36 - 42 mm, the variety also applies to movement. In the Zeppelin models, according to the offered functions, which include GMT (dual time), chronograph, multifunctional date, lunar phase indicator or power reserve indicator, a truly diverse collection of first-class calibres alternates. Swiss ETA quartz machines, their automatic relatives, Ronda Swiss quartz calibres, Japanese Miyota self-winding mechanisms and even Russian Poljot automatic machines have been used here. When you choose a Zeppelin watch, you need to be prepared for the fact that you are not just buying a mindless timepiece. You are buying a link to a famous designer, a piece of German history and a crafted tool, where the atmosphere stems from the unadulterating glory of the airship.
