Watch brands are companies or labels that design, produce, or market timepieces under a recognized name. They span heritage maisons with hand-finished movements, industrial manufacturers, and independent microbrands. Models cover many functions and styles, from simple quartz watches to haute horlogerie with complications. Brand data helps collectors, gift shoppers, and researchers assess provenance, price, and technical pedigree.
