A Hello Kitty watch is the perfect gift for children and even many teenagers! Children all over the world know who “Hello Kitty” is. This trademark has conquered the world since 1976 with a whole line of products ranging from greeting cards, school supplies, dolls, dishes and even home appliances.
Developed by the Japanese firm Sanrio, Hello Kitty, was first seen in a vinyl purse in 1975. It was introduced in the United States in 1976 and the rest, as they say, is history. It has now covered the globe with licensing agreements on almost all the continents and is now earning upwards of $1 billion per year.
One of the most popular of Sanrio’s products is the Hello Kitty watch. As with almost all of Sanrio’s product lines, this watch is aimed primarily for women, from the very young to the maturing ones. This makes them quite different from Lucien Piccard watches that manufactures exquisitely designed watches for both men and women
With the many licenses that Sanrio has extended all over the world, it is no wonder that the range of types as well as prices of the watches would be so great and wide. For instance, there are Hello Kitty Watches that cost a staggering $2,900.00 a piece on the high end. And would you believe, there is also a Hello Kitty Watch that only costs a measly $2.52? That is how wide the choices are – as wide as you can imagine!
You might wonder: “Why almost $3,000.00 for this watch?” Well, for one, this type of watch has a very elegant design which is diamond embellished. It also has a stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and with a dial that is made of mother-of-pearl.
In contrast, the one at the bottom end is only made of a stainless case, with a leather watch strap at best and a quartz clock mechanism. They are just perfect for functional use but not for dressing up. This disparity of prices holds true for Hello Kitty Earrings, you can find superb ones that cost thousands of dollars and practical earrings for a young lady for a few dollars.
With its popularity all over the world, the manufacturers of the Hello Kitty watch has made them available to everyone no matter what their financial status in life might be. And that most probably is the real intent of its parent company, Sanrio.
