This year there is a milestone anniversary in the world of high end watches. It is the 90th anniversary of Gucci Watches, one of the biggest names not only in watches but in fashion at large. They will be rolling out special lines of watches that reference the standards in style of their 1921 genesis in celebration of this milestone.

Businesses have often used their anniversaries as an excuse to create specialty lines that help to fortify a company’s history while offering their repeat customers a chance to own something historic and vintage in style. Gucci watches cast a long shadow over the global market for luxury goods and no where is that more omnipresent than in their watch division which has thrived for nearly a century in spite of fluctuations in the global markets. Part of that is a statement on the permanence of style and part of it is simply acknowledgement that as a brand they have built and maintained a legacy of quality.

Of course, in the world of high end watches many companies have crossed the century mark. What is exciting is to see that no matter what the economy is doing, businesses that do great work can still thrive.
