For the workmanship
The crafting of a luxury watch is a skill, and the best watchmakers are artisans who have learnt how to make the best through years of training and experience. There is a certain art to making a luxury watch.
A luxury watch, and by that I mean one that is at least five thousand pounds, has a high level of craftsmanship and skill gone into every timepiece. For example, automatic and mechanical movements that are handmade do last decades. Many of the best watchmakers are traditionally from Switzerland, too and a Swiss-made watch has suitable kudos, and these include Rolex, TAG Heuer and Omega watches.
For the design
The design of a luxury watch is part of the appeal. A luxury watch can be timeless and classic such as many of the Patek Phillipe designs or appeal to the gadget lovers amongst us such as the Breitling Navitimers which are iconic pilot watches. Many have a number of gadgets that are super cool like an SOS beacon on a Breitling Emergency watch, which is also useful if you go to remote places.
Another super cool watch is the Omega Seamaster which is water resistant up to 1000 feet, more than some nuclear submarines and has added status being worn by Bond, James Bond, in the films throughout the years.

Wearing a luxury watch can make a big statement. It can shout out that you have taste, and that you have a classic style. It can also show that you have money and status, that you have made it in the world so to speak. Maybe you are influenced by brand ambassadors like Kate Winslet for Longines or David Beckham for Rolex and want to buy authentic Rolex watches to get a taste of their world. Maybe you want to show off to your friends - we've all been there!
Also, the good news is, that owning a Rolex or any high-end luxury watch has become more accessible these days. Many luxurious watch brands, now offer instalment plans, similar to the rolex installment plan that can allow you to invest in these coveted pieces without the need for an upfront lump sum. These flexible payment options make it easier for people to indulge in luxury, transforming what once seemed like an unattainable dream into a more achievable reality. So, if you've always wanted to own a luxury timepiece, these instalment plans provide a way to step into that world without compromising your financial comfort.
All in all, a luxury watch can be a loud statement or a quiet whisper, depending on the brand and style chosen.
As an investment
A luxury watch can be an investment if looked after. In a volatile market, vintage watches generally hold their value and can be an investment for the future. Pick a design that is a safer investment than others such as one of these luxury watches that are in demand on chronoexpert.com. You may not make a fortune on your investment but it can rise steadily and you will have something nice to show for your money too.
As an heirloom
As an heirloom
A luxury watch is something that can be handed down over generations, as it will last well, and retain its looks and craftsmanship over time. Personally, I would choose a classic design as an heirloom watch so that your son or daughter will appreciate it and it won't date. A classic Rolex, TAG or a Calatrava by Patek Phillipe will fit the bill.
As you can see there are many reasons to buy a luxury watch. If you have the money I would say buy a luxury watch and enjoy it.
Tell me, do you own a luxury watch? What brands of luxury watches do you like?

I love watches and I agree they are definitely an investment. I love to mix and match mine!
ReplyDeleteI bought my first ‘real’ watch last year. It cost me a lot but it wasn’t quite in the range of 5 grand. It’s an eco drive so it charges off of daylight which was a cool feature I thought.
ReplyDeleteI don’t own a luxury watch but would love to treat myself to one for all of the above reasons some day.
