Thread: Egotistical watch brands.

  1. #1

    Egotistical watch brands.

    I know it is a marmite company but looking at the two U-Boats I own, I cannot think of other brands which display both the brand and owner/founder on the dial (Italo Fontana). Are there others out there?

    F.P. Journe? Invenit et Fecit seems pretty egocentric!

    Indeed...an element of hubris there! But maybe justified considering the reputation of their watches :).

    Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Panerai.

    They are all both brand and founder.

    Lots of examples....thanks! But I really meant where the founder and brand are different yet both are displayed on the dial.

    Good point. Yes that changes the game somewhat. I guess that is quite egotistical!

    To me, artists are allowed to egotistical. It's the nature of the game.
