Fashion watches have become essential fashion accessories, and Peugeot watches exemplify this trend more than almost any other brand. As a well-known brand sold in top department stores, Peugeot makes high-quality timepieces that are stylishly modern and moderately priced, making these fashion watches great accessories for wearing every day. Overstock.com now carries the best of Peugeot watches in our online store. If you're wondering how to buy the perfect Peugeot watch of your own, this Peugeot watch buying guide offers valuable information about this exciting brand.
The Peugeot watch brand dates to 1957, when the company started producing luxury gold watches. In 1979, they decided to expand their collection and entered the marketplace of fashion watches. Since then Peugeot women's watches and men's watches have displayed trendy, sophisticated designs that are suitable for any wardrobe and any occasion.
Watch design
Peugeot watches feature a variety of designs in their men's and women's timepieces, so it's possible to build an expansive watch collection from this brand. Fashion changes with time and place; after all, the watch you wear for work is probably not the one you strap on for a night out for dinner or for a weekend of running errands. For a dressy piece that adds a serious, tailored accent to your wardrobe, choose one of the many metal bracelet wrist watches in silvertone, goldtone or two-tone finishes. Leather straps in bright or pastel colors give any casual outfit a style boost. Peugeot creates many timepieces that are as beautiful as jewelry; for example, a woman who prefers an elegant, subtle approach to fashion must have a Peugeot bangle watch with a slender bangle cuff and polished finish. Those who want more sparkle can choose a dazzling crystal-studded watch. Peugeot's crystal watches feature genuine Swarovski crystals.
The Peugeot Swiss collection features their lines of ceramic watches and tungsten watches. This collection reflects the most innovative uses of new materials for watch design in recent years.
Ceramic watches
These wrist watches have genuine ceramic cases and bracelets. Ceramic is a relatively new material in watch construction but is becoming popular quickly. A ceramic case or bracelet is durable and resists scratches better than many metals or plastics. But it is the look of ceramic watches that has captured attention; as elegant fashion watches, they are sleek, glossy and, often, colorful. Peugeot's ceramic watches also feature high-quality Swiss movement.
Tungsten watches
You'll find several wrist watches with tungsten cases and bracelets among Peugeot men's watches and women's watches. Tungsten and the compound tungsten carbide are extremely strong metals that are harder than even steel or titanium. The high melting point of tungsten makes it resistant to scratches and scuffs, so it is effectively wear proof. Tungsten has a deep grey color and a reflective shine that won't lose its luster over time. It also resists corrosion, tarnish and discoloration. Tungsten watches from Peugeot also feature Swiss movement and scratch-resistant sapphire crystals.
How does the adjustable watch buckle work?
Many of Peugeot's link bracelet watches for women have an adjustable buckle with a removable link to make the bracelet length more comfortable for the wearer. The buckle consists of two jewelry clasps, hinged hooks that fold over a bar to secure a watch band, one of which can be removed by opening both of the clasps at the same time.
How do I care for my Peugeot watch?
Your Peugeot watch will arrive in an attractive box that is ideal for storing the timepiece. If you own several watches, invest in a watch box if you don't already have one; a decorative watch box with individual slots keeps your watch collection safe from dust and items which might scratch the surfaces during storage. Occasionally, clean metal cases and bracelets with a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Is my watch water resistant?
Your Peugeot watch is water resistant if the term ''water resistant'' is stamped on the back of the watch case; otherwise, the watch is not considered to be water resistant and must be protected from water and steam. If the watch is water resistant, small splashes of water that result from being out in the rain or near a sink won't harm the internal workings. However, it is still better to avoid prolonged exposure to water, steam or mist. Do not wear your Peugeot watch while swimming, showering, washing dishes, relaxing in a hot tub or during other activities that expose the timepiece to water.
