Checklist To Buy Luxury Wrist Watches

By Henry Reed


A watch tells the time, but it is not the only thing it does! It can be a timeless classic that adds the wow factor to your personality, it can be an heirloom that you can pass on to the next generations and it can be a style statement that brings the bling to your wardrobe. Let's explore a few things before you buy 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.

How to grab eyeballs? Well, a leisure watch can be the best way to up your style quotient! This is not the only reason to indulge in this luxury though. A high-end timepiece can generate the right attention in the right people and make you the focus of it. You can make a favorable impression on anyone if you know how to flaunt it right.

What makes the difference? Low-end watches, mass-produced by unskilled laborers, are sure to be poor in quality when compared to precious, handcrafted timepieces that take months, even years to make. The huge difference in quality is what makes the first one a common item of no considerable value and the second one a collectible worth millions.

This is a great way of avoiding fakes as most knockoffs do not come branded with a serial number. It is important to research on the makers website to know where the serial number is located. Before purchasing, it is important to know if the watch has a unique serial number.

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.

How do you know an original? Buying an expensive watch means investing a lot of money. If you fail to get a good deal, it is only a waste. It is, therefore, important to make sure that the online retailer you buy from ensures authenticity. A good retailer will have associations with the watchmakers and provide a certificate of authenticity with the purchase.

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.
