Buying your first luxury
watch can be surprisingly tough based on the number of choices of brands,
technologies, styles, sizes and costs.
Brands: Consider brands that have a history of making
quality timepieces. If a watchmaker has
been making timepieces for a long time he has developed his craft. Iconic brands are easier to get parts for
repair. However, consider brands that
don’t have a large advertising budget
but have a deep history of quality timepieces.
Do your research.
Style: Classic is the best style for beginners. They never go out of fashion and they look
good with anything you wear. Avoid the
overly complicated high technology watches, which are prone to failure . You probably won’t use or need the function
anyway. Bling often doesn’t translate to value
Size: For the average man a watch with a face
between 40-44 mm is a good size. Watch
lugs should not extend beyond the edge of the wrist.
Cost: Don’t think of your luxury watch as an investment.
It’s unlikely you’ll ever get the money back you spent on it. Extra jewels and fancy precious metals added to case materials can drive up the
price of the watch without adding true value to the quality of the watch
Buy your own watch: You will be wearing it from 10-20 years buy a
watch that you like. Don’t be influenced
by a friend or relative. The watch
is an expression of you.
Reward Yourself. A quality watch speaks of achievement.
