Haltom's is an official and authorized dealer for many of the finest Swiss brands. Buying from Haltom's means that you get a new, certified watch with the manufacturer's warranty. That's why it's so important to buy from an authorized dealer.

Be sure to consider your lifestyle. Determining when and how the watch will be worn will help you select a timepiece with the features that best match your needs. Here are just a few of the things you should consider:

Will this be your primary watch or worn only for special occasions? Or are you a collector building a wardrobe of timepieces?

Style - is this a watch for casual, dress or formal attire?

Type of Movement - quartz, manual wind or automatic? Quartz is accurate and trouble-free while mechanical and automatic movements appeal to collectors and watch aficionados.

Water activity - will the watch get wet everyday or be worn while scuba diving?

Specialties - what's important to you? Many timepieces come with special features for diving, timing or calendar functions. Haltom's staff will be able to show you the watches that match your specific needs.

Be sure to select a watch that coordinates with the jewelry with which it will be worn. Some considerations are:

Metal - stainless steel, yellow, rose or white gold, steel and gold combinations or platinum

Dial colors - style versus readability

Diamonds - many of today's watches feature diamonds inlaid in the steel that allow them to transition easily from beach to boardroom to ballroom.

Case size - bigger is often considered better today. Try on watches in different case sizes to determine what's best for you. Keep in mind that style, comfort, and wearability are all important.
