Corniche Watches Heritage 40

For the last few years I have written numerous articles about watches for my own website and many other magazines. Recently I changed the name of my website to Total Design Reviews so I could broaden my horizons. This means I can now write about topics like architecture, art, automobiles, technology and lifestyle. However I still want to feature really well designed timepieces on the site.

A few months ago a Swedish brand called Corniche Watches contacted me to introduce some of their stylish timepieces. The company is located in the vibrant city of Stockholm and is dedicated to producing a range of high quality watches targeted at the discerning buyer. Presently Corniche have one collection called the Heritage and prices range from $365-$425. For a watch marketed under the $500 threshold I feel consumers are getting pretty good bang for their buck.

After several discussions with the company’s social media manager Johan Öhrskog, they very kindly consented to send me a watch from their Heritage collection. Generally the timepiece felt very comfortable and lightweight on the wrist. For that reason I would be very happy to wear this watch for both formal and casual occasions. However it is pertinent to mention that the timepiece is only water resistant to a depth of 50 metres and therefore wouldn’t be suitable for vigorous swimming or diving activities.

Visually the Heritage 40 I tested has an elegant black ceramic dial with hand polished markers. This stylish detail perfectly compliments the 40mm natural stainless steel case. It also has a sapphire crystal lens and high quality leather strap, which is a nice touch for an entry-level watch. Even though the Heritage 40 is available in different colour combinations and finishes, I feel the model I tested is the most distinctive. Primarily this is because it has a timeless classical appearance that should appeal to a wide range of buyers. Essentially you are getting the look of a much more expensive Swiss brand for a reasonable cost.
