FAQ

What is a Dress Watch?

A dress watch is an elegant, slim-profile timepiece designed to be worn with formal attire, such as business suits or evening wear. Unlike sports watches, dress watches focus on minimalism and sophistication.

For Men: It must be thin enough to slide easily under a shirt cuff (the "Cuff Test").

For Women: It often acts as jewelry, featuring refined materials or faceted glass to complement evening outfits.

Key Features: Simple dials, leather or mesh straps, and a lack of bulky buttons or bezels.

Are quartz watches accurate?

Yes, quartz watches are known for "high accuracy." Because the quartz crystal vibrates at such a stable and high frequency, they are typically much more accurate than mechanical watches, often varying by only a few seconds per month.

On which wrist does a woman wear a watch?

According to etiquette, a woman should wear her watch on the left wrist if she is right-handed. This traditional rule places the watch on the non-dominant hand to prevent damage and scratches from daily tasks. However, modern fashion is flexible: many women choose the wrist that best complements their other jewelry. If you wear a heavy bracelet on your left hand, it is perfectly stylish and practical to wear your watch on the right wrist to balance your look and avoid scratching the timepiece.

What is the meaning of the brand name JOWISSA?

The name Jowissa is a combination of the surname and lastname of the company founder Josef Wyss. He founded Jowissa in the village of Bettlach, Switzerland in 1951. Jowissa has been active and in business without interruption since then.

Monochromatic Magic

There is something undeniably chic about the combination of silver and black. At Jowissa, we love playing with this high-contrast aesthetic. Our collection of silver and black women's watches is designed for the woman who appreciates strong, clear lines and modern design. The Black Dial Effect A black dial watch with a silver band is not just easy to read; it is a statement piece. The dark face absorbs light, making the polished silver hands and indices pop. When paired with our signature faceted sapphire-like crystal, the black background acts as a canvas, allowing the cut glass to sparkle with every movement. Versatility Defined From the boardroom to a black-tie event, these watches adapt to your style. Choose from sleek stainless steel bracelets for a jewelry look or soft black leather for everyday comfort.
