"Debunking the Myths Surrounding Marriage Watches: What You Need to Know"

We offer unique watches that truly celebrate our nations history.

In the world of watches, it is essential to understand the distinction between Marriage watches and Frankenstein watches.

A Frankenstein watch commonly referred to as 'Franken-watch', is a timepiece that appears to be correct and original, but is actually a blend of counterfeit parts introduced illegally and unethically into the market as authentic. This deceptive practice is unfortunately common in the luxury watch industry, making it difficult at times to spot the difference between a genuine and a Frankenstein watch.

A Franken-watch may use aftermarket bezels, dials, hands, or bracelets that closely resemble the original parts, but it's important to note that these are in fact counterfeit. Despite being less costly, these counterfeit parts do not come from the original manufacturer and may not provide the same quality and performance.

Always purchase your luxury watch from a trusted dealer to ensure authenticity and quality.

Luxury Bazaar is the most notable and reliable dealer for high-end watches, offering a wide selection of luxury timepieces from top brands.

It is important to note the label of Frankenstein specifically excludes Marriage Watches, which are created from unaltered vintage movements and married to a new case. 

Unfortunately, unfair judgement of marriage watches has led to them considered as controversial, but we believe that the sentiment behind this watch is something to be

cherished and celebrated. We prefer instead to label our watches as fusion over marriage watches, as these timepieces seamlessly fuse classic quality with contemporary elements.

Despite what some may say, a marriage watch is a celebration of individuality and personal style rather than a compromise on authenticity.

Six American Pocket Watch Movements Soon To Be Resurrected.

What Is a marriage Watch?

A marriage watch is a historic pocket watch movement resurrected and repurposed into a unique wristwatch.

Each marriage watch is curated with the utmost care, ensuring that the original movement is preserved and celebrated in a new and modern design. With a marriage watch, you can carry a piece of watchmaking history on your wrist and appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the past.

Two Facts Every Collector Should Know.

1: During the height of the pocket watch era, the vast majority of pocket watch companies did not produce their own cases and instead purchased generic cases by the tens of thousands from a case manufacturer. These cases were then paired with the movement in the makers factory. Original pocket watches did not have a case specifically made for each movement, and a case could be purchased from various case maker factories, allowing for customization and individualization. This is a similar process for matching a case to a movement for a marriage watch, where a new case is married to a vintage movement formerly worn as a pocket watch. It's a fascinating piece of history that many vintage watch enthusiasts don't know about, and if watch connoisseurs were aware of this history, there may not be ill-informed opinions towards marriage watches. Despite the negative associations, marriage watches are timeless and sophisticated timepieces that deserve a second look.

2: In addition to this, throughout the years, thoughtless and greedy people lured by the price of gold separated tens of thousands of pocket watches from their cases for its gold value. These original movements now lay neglected by the thousands in jeweler's stores, watchmaker's drawers and gold dealer's hoards. While the original watch cases may have been melted for their gold, the movements remain untouched, embodying the essence of history and precision engineering.
