The Swiss are known for their magnificent horological skills, which often result in very expensive products. They have the Jaeger-LeCoultre, Chopard, and Patek Philippe brands which produced watch models that placed fourth, fifth, and sixth most expensive watches of all time, respectively. However, it is not necessary to break the bank for any Swiss watch. Many Swiss brands offer everything from fashion to sports and contemporary looks at under and occasionally well less than $1,000.
