One of the ‘lesser known’ brands amongst many collectors or vintage watch enthusiasts , Election are now becoming far more widely known & as a result , of course more highly respected Swiss watch companies in the vintage watch world.
With very good reason too!
As expected , the majority of collectors / enthusiasts tend to gravitate towards the ‘more well known’ / bigger budgeted brand names when first becoming interested in the vintage watch world , or more precisely in vintage watches.
Yet as ‘we’ gain more knowledge & understanding of fine time pieces , their makers & history of the industry ~ generally most {though certainly not all} tend to broaden their interests into lesser known companies / brand names yet are often superior quality watches to many brands more recognisable in 21stC marketing.
t can be very very daunting at time to learn as with many if not most good companies having dozens & at times , 100’s of registered ‘brand names’ or dial names ….. it helps if you have read a lot of Sherlock Holmes or similar.
It really can take a lot of research once you have found what seems to be a fine quality watch , made extremely well , yet little easily available info can require a lot of hours & enthusiasm to uncover what you are searching for.
Vintage watch collecting is no different to most things in life , knowledge reins supreme!
