Nowadays you see more and more vintage watches on social media. There are several pages and also YouTube channels that talk about vintage watches. But what should you look out for when buying a vintage watch or in this case a vintage Invicta? On Ebay, Chrono24 and other markets, prices are very varied. Because of this, it may just be that you are doing a mischief or paying too much for a watch. Before you buy, these are the most important things to know. That's why I'm going to give you a few tips in this blog before you go hunting for that one watch!

Today a review of the Invicta 4728. This is a nice, affordable and good quality watch. Incidentally, the Invicta 4728 is currently no longer manufactured either, so it can sometimes be more difficult to come by. In a watch world where it is very often about the specifications of watches. Timepiece, dimensions or brand prestige, it is surprisingly rare to find a watch that requires none of these considerations. When this watch was still being manufactured it was not the most expensive watch. Typically this watch was offered in the Invicta store about 150 to 200 dollars some 15 years ago. With this we can state that it is a beautiful, affordable and high-quality watch. Above all, this is a watch that makes me smile.

The time has finally come, a second Invicta brand store has been opened in the Netherlands. As an Invicta fan I was of course also at this opening to view the store. All the more reason to write a short report with photos about it.

Invicta S1 Concept Skeleton Automatic 2284 is a treat if you like skeleton watches, especially because in this version you see the entire timepiece in all its glory of ticking gears, moving wheels and mains springs that come to rest. Custom skeleton watches from Switzerland are usually made in small series because they require specialized hand production techniques that remove much of the non-essential metal from the timepiece movement. Add to this process the engraving, gold plating or gold treatment and unique design elements ... and you understand how a creation of Ulysses Nardin called "The Freak" can cost more.

When you are going to buy a watch then you will notice that there is a lot of choice regarding watch glasses that are used.In this blog I want to reflect on the types and which is particularly interesting when you buy a new watch. Watch glasses exist in all kinds of hardness and materials. In combination with all forms of glasses, a profession in itself.Here is the most common information about watch glass.

Invicta was founded in 1837 by Raphael Picard in La Chaux-de-Fonds. His sons led the company at the end of the nineteenth century under the name Les Fils de R. Picard (the sons of R. Picard). It was a production that made its own movements in Delémont and Le Locle, and at the beginning of the twentieth century one of the company's most famous caliber was a minute repeater.

Once upon a time, when watches were not yet powered by quartz movement, solar energy had to be wound by hand!

Invicta is known to me for making interesting watches. Whether it's a men's or a women's, it's always spectacular. Today I received a very special watch from someone I would like to share with you!

In the previous blogs I have given a short summary about the history of Invicta before the Quartz crisis. When I talk to people, you tubers, influencers who think they are experts in the watch industry, it strikes me that they know a little about the established brands. But not much about the small "Swiss" brands that have often disappeared in the course of history.

In my previous blog I wrote that I received a number of documents about the history of Invicta from musee de l'horlogerie. These documents deal with various issues, such as the history of history, with regard to the content of various lines that Invicta had throughout history, but also with regard to auctions of antique pieces.
