8 Croton Watches with Unbeatable Quality and Unique Style
For over 130 years, the Cronton Watch Company has been producing some of the finest timepieces in the world. The family-owned business achieved success by combining innovative new design with old world craftsmanship. And though they were a small firm, by the middle of the 20th century, Croton was a name every watchmaker knew.
In 1991, Cronton was acquired by another family-owned business, Nationwide Time. Though they did not have the same level of experience with horology, Nationwide Time became a success based on their marketing, distribution and business strategies. It seemed like a perfect pairing. And it was.
From the beginning, few changes were made, since the companies seemed to agree on almost everything. Both wanted to produce the highest quality watches at affordable prices. This pledge is supported by a rare lifetime warranty for every watch they make.
Where are they now? Well, Croton can no longer talk about small potatoes. The company sold more than one million watches in 2009. To keep up with the increase in demand, Croton has had to expand their product line to two-hundred and fifty new styles. In this article we are going to take a quick look at eight of the most popular watches they offer for sale.
Croton Mens Automatic Mother-of-Pearl
Attractive without being flashy, this exciting timepiece offers the perfect balance of precise, superior materials. The round dial is made of mother-of-pearl and is available in brown or black. The minute and hour hands are luminous, which makes them easy to read. The strap is genuine alligator and has a button clasp. The Mens Automatic is water resistant, but only up to one hundred feet. Like all Croton watches, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Crotons Mens Stainless Steel
An economical offering, the mens stainless steel model strikes the right balance between form and function. Protected by a steel case and a tough mineral crystal dial, the watch is as practical as it is durable. The luminous hour markers on the face of the watch are visible under even the most difficult of conditions. The wrist strap is black rubber. There is even a date window next to the 5:00. The timepiece is water resistance up to 330 feet.
