CTI watches have quickly become favorites among casual wearers and collectors alike. They have features and styles that are usually reserved for watches that the average person can't afford. A genuine Patek Philippe watch can run many thousands of dollars. They are probably worth the price, but this vastly limits the market to the few who can afford them.
CTI watches stand on their own. They don't try to be "replicas" of any brand name watch. They are, however influenced by many of the styles and innovations represented by the famous brand watches. People have commented that they bought CTI watches because they don't try to copy other watches. They also have the CTI brand name and logo on each watch. They don't try to fool anyone by exactly replicating a brand name style down to the name and logo on the watch. This practice is illegal in that it violates trademarks and patents of other companies. All CTI Watches have a CTI logo and not any brand name.
Popular CTI styles include Navitimer, automatics, Seamaster, chronographs and skeleton types. They are available in leather or metal bands and many color combinations.
In addition, if the watch says "Rolex" on it, who really made it? Where is it from? If the company is violating the law by selling "replicas", what type of message does this send to a buyer?
CTI is constantly releasing new styles. Many people buy several CTI Watches. They do this because they can buy several styles for every occasion. They don't have the fear of loss that a genuine Vacheron Constantin creates. How many people would comfortable wearing a $10,000 watch to the mall? For about 1% of that amount, they can wear any CTI Watch anywhere and not give it another thought. You often read about celebrities that wear replicas of the genuine jewelry they own because of insurance restrictions. Why own it if you can't wear it? That's where CTI Watches have their greatest appeal.
