There are a lot of different styles of gents watches on the market today. In this article we will be reviewing a couple of different ones that have a rich history in the watch world. The watches that we will be talking about are Michel Jordi watches, Omega watches, Harry Winston watches, and the ever famous Rolex watch.

Michel Jordi watches are the first ones that we will be talking about today. The reason that Michel Jordi is in this article is because of his contribution of the twist lock system to the watch world. Back in 2004 he created the first ever twist lock on a watch that allowed for two faces on a single watch.

The next timepiece that we are going to talk about is the famous Omega brand watch. There are two reasons that this particular watch has ingrained itself into watch history and world history. The first reason that this company is so famous is that it was the official timepiece of the 1931 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The second reason that this watch company has made such a huge impact on watch history and the history of the world is that the "Speed master" model Omega watch was the worn on the 1969 moon landing, thus making the watch the first worn on the moon.

Harry Winston watches is our next topic of discussion in today's article. These watches made an impact on watch making history when their "Opus V" series became famous for being hand crafted and precisely timed by now famous watchmakers FP Journe and Greubel-Forsey et al. These watches sell for around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Now onto one of the most famous watches in all of history, the Rolex watch. This company which began in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and W Davis established their watch company called Wilsdorf and Davis. This company which in 1908 became Rolex was the first wrist watch company or pocket watch company to make a truly water proof watch, it is the "Oyster". Rolex was also the first company to come out with an automatic date watch called the "Date just", and the fist dive watch called the "submariner".

The Rolex, Omega, Harry Winston and Michel Jordi are just some of the key players in wrist watch history. There are tons and tons of other watches and watchmakers that have all played important roles in history this was just a brief overview of some of the more famous ones.
