Luxury Wrist Watches - How To Start Your Collection

By Henry Reed


You have decided to buy a luxury watch. This happens to be the best accessory that a person of the male gender may flaunt! The only problem is - you do not know which one would be right for you. Confusion is common. It is best to update yourself about the luxury watches before you select one. Let us take a closer look at the different facets of Luxury Wrist Watches.

The Purpose - A Timepiece to Flaunt or a Gadget to Depend on. What do you intend to use the watch for? The luxury watch you wear for a white-tie event is markedly different from the one you wear for extreme sports. And do keep in mind that it's not about the look alone. You need to pay attention to the purpose of the high-end watch, unless you just want it to be the crown jewel of your collection. If you want a glam accessory to wear at formal events, a classic design suits your purpose best.

Find a reputable dealer- Whether you are researching on the internet or around the city, you will get to see different brands as well as many deals that will entice you to make a purchase. When it comes to deals, it is always good to think twice. It is important to know that reputation is key and it is wise to research about the retailer before making a purchase. The best way to find a retailer is to ask friends and family members. You can also read customer reviews on reputable platforms like the BBB. Reviews will inform you if a retailer is reputable or not.

The Look - Elegant Appeal or Casual Charm. A classic style men's leisure watch would have a case made from platinum, gold or silver with a complementary alligator strap or a metal bracelet. The analog dial of a traditional men's watch often has a neutral-hue. A round gold case, a white mother-of-pearl dial, polished hours and minutes markers and black alligator strap creates the perfect design classic. If you have a ball to attend, this is the right watch to go with your suit.

The Movement - Simple Quartz or Handcrafted Mechanical. Timepieces are powered one of the two movements, a quartz or mechanical movement. The battery-operated is less costly than the mechanical one. However, you will get to acknowledge its value if you learn further about it. The mechanical movements in the most costly watches, regardless they are the automatic ones or the manually wound ones, are handcrafted. It takes the highest levels of precision to fashion each intricate part of the watch movement.

The Complication - The More. Majority of this arises from nature. Take for example the Portuguese Grande Complication from the prestigious watch house of International Watch Company. It features a chronograph, a perpetual moon phase display, a perpetual calendar (that you need not adjust until 2499) and a minute repeater.

You may not understand the value that a complication adds to a luxury watch without adequate knowledge of it. Only watch connoisseurs understand the worth of the luxury watch complications. However, as you get yourself familiarized with the time pieces, you learn to acknowledge the simple yet sophisticated details that make them leisurely.

It can be summarized by saying essentially when shopping for a fine timepiece the Manufacturer, Movement, Complications and Craftsmanship are all items to consider. They determine if a timepiece will carry the status to suit your wants, keep correctness and fall within the best cost limits for your budget. Approach the purchase of a luxury watch as investment the same way you would with fine artwork. In the end you will have a wonderful collection of exquisite timepieces for years to enjoy.
