It goes without saying that when one thinks of luxury watches, your immediate thought will likely be “Swiss” but more and more watchmakers are throwing their hats into the ring to change this antiquated mindset and we can think of few better examples of this than premium Canadian watch brand, Heron Watches. Beginning with the fundamental conviction that watchmaking is an art accessible to all, Heron Watches takes great pride in crafting premium timepieces.
Canada’s Finest: The Rise of Heron Watches
Heron Watches consciously distance themselves from the typical perceptions associated with luxury watch brands, which often focus on high prices, artificially limited availability, and superficial collaborations. Instead, their focus is on providing exceptional value and design. This is something we can definitely get on board with here at Coolector HQ and the calibre of the timepieces from Heron really does speak for itself – particularly so with the brand’s latest release, the Marinor Collection.
Finding premium Canadian watch brands like Heron is deeply rewarding in our opinion because it gives you the chance to get a high-quality timepiece on your wrist without having to break the bank – as you would with any Swiss watchmaker.
Add Some Robustness to your Wrist: The Marinor from Heron Watches
Their new Marinor collection retails for £499, which is exceptional value for money when you consider the quality of craftsmanship and top-notch materials used throughout.
The impressive collection of watches from Heron boasts a hardened stainless steel construction with an impressive 1200HV rating, ensuring unmatched durability. At its heart lies the Automatic Miyota 9039 movement, eliminating the need for a battery and offering seamless timekeeping. The watch features a boxed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, paired with a domed sapphire bezel that provides a 120-click countdown functionality. Illumination in low-light conditions is achieved through the use of Swiss Blue Super-Luminova (BGW9), enhancing visibility.
Built for Adventure: Introducing the Gladiateur
In addition to the Marinor series, Heron also offers their flagship release, the equally as awesome Gladiateur MMLXV collection with prices starting at a mighty reasonable £394. The Gladiateur watch, designed for contemporary travel, operates on a traditional mechanical movement. Its unique feature is the 12-hour Roman numeral bezel, elegantly and effortlessly allowing the tracking of a second-time zone. This timepiece combines classic sophistication with functional simplicity, making it an ideal accessory for the modern traveller.
Rooted in a passion for adventure and exploration, this first-class Canadian watch brand embodies the essence of these adrenaline-filled pursuits. Each of their exemplary timepieces is thoughtfully designed in Canada, a land celebrated for its breathtaking natural scenery and challenging landscapes. These environments serve as the brand’s muse, influencing a design approach that prioritizes functionality, robustness, and unparalleled adaptability.
Heron watches are engineered to withstand the most demanding environments, whether it be the profound depths of the sea or the towering summits of mountains. This is something that is achieved through the brand’s commitment to using only the finest materials and reliable technologies, guaranteeing that every Heron timepiece performs exceptionally, whether in outdoor adventures or professional settings. After an impeccable timepiece without the inflated price tag? Look no further than Heron.
