About Burberry Watches
Thomas Burberry founded Burberry in 1856 when he opened a clothing shop in Basingstoke, England.
In 1880, Thomas Burberry developed a fabric that was resistant to tearing and weatherproof whilst remaining breathable, which he called “gabardine”.
In 1901, Thomas Burberry designed and submitted to the War Office an army officer’s raincoat which made use of the gabardine fabric.
The style was approved by HM King Edward VII a year later as a standard service uniform for British officers.
Due to the popularity of Burberry weatherproof outerwear amongst army personnel.
In the early 1920s, the Burberry check was introduced as a lining to the trench coat.
The Burberry trench coat began to obtain iconic status when it was worn by post-war Hollywood film stars.
Burberry’s distinctive check pattern has become one of its most widely copied trademarks.
The company has branded stores and franchises around the world, and also sells through concessions in third party stores.
It also runs a catalogue business and has a fragrance line.
Both HM Queen Elizabeth and HRH The Prince of Wales have granted the company Royal Warrants.
Today, Burberry's trademark products are its fashionable handbags, exclusive fragrances and watches.
Burberry’s unique watch collection consists of Burberry Heritage Collection and Burberry Signature Collection.
