Classic Timepieces Are Cool Again
And You’ll Find Geelong’s Best Watch Collection At Duffs Jewellers
With vintage tech becoming cool again (think record players, digital cameras and flip phones) it was only a matter of time before the classic wrist watch returned to the spotlight.
A smartwatch might do more, but it needs to be replaced every few years, whereas a traditional wristwatch, if well-cared for, will stand the test of time.
Whether you’re a fashion-forward millennial buying your first timepiece or a special gift (Father’s Day is coming up, hint-hint), or a gen-Xer or baby boomer looking to invest in a quality brand, there are several factors to think about including style, features, craftsmanship and of course, your budget.
Duffs Jewellers is the ultimate destination for watch lovers, boasting a great selection of styles from renowned brands, making it much easier to compare styles, features and price points.
For those looking for something a bit special - Duffs also stocks many limited edition and commemorative models, as well as product ranges that are not available elsewhere in Geelong.
A great example is the new range of Seiko Astron GPS solar watches. The clever Astron adjusts to the exact time every day and moves effortlessly through different time zones. It’s also great looking - but you’ll have to come in to our Pakington St, Waurn Ponds or Westfield Stores to see it in action.
Now, let’s explore our collection's diverse range of brands and look at what key features set them apart.
