For watch collectors, their tastes, brands, styles and watches differ from collector to collector. However, if you are just getting started out in watch collecting and you are looking for some ideas on what you should start off collecting or even if you are veteran watch collector and you are just curious, then this article is for you.
There is no right way or wrong ways in collecting timepieces, unless of course you are looking for a collection that will significantly increase in value in time, which is of course what most collectors are indeed looking for. The list below is by no means official and is just the opinions of other watch collectors and it by no means does it also imply that the watches we list here will indeed rise significantly in value in time. So with all of that in mind, you cannot come back and blame me if you purchase a watch I recommend that just so happens to not rise in value over time.
Customers and collectors will ask us what watches they should buy when it comes to all types of watches and all price points of watches. The list of watches in this article is meant to offer a little bit of something for each and everyone, but at the same time, there is no watch in this list, no matter how inexpensive or expensive it is that not one collector cannot truly enjoy at the same time in their collections.
This list of watches is also subjective and reflects the personal opinions of a watch collector and not a consensus of the total of the watch collecting community. If you disagree with any of the timepieces list that is fine and is only a reflection on the differences between personal tastes. With that in mind this is an accumulation of one watch collectors experience and education in watches that will help assist in the recommendation to what one might think are some of the most important types of timepieces available worldwide that may interest watch collectors.
With all of this explained, while you might already own one or more of the watches on the list, and if that is the case, then you cannot truly disagree completely with the ten recommendations listed below. And so we begin one watch collectors top 10 picks for watch collecting.
1. Omega Speedmaster
2. Rolex Submariner
3. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso
4. Casio G-Shock
5. Grand Seiko Spring Drive
6. MB&F Horological Machine
7. Kari Voutilainen
8. A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Up/Down
9. Breguet Type XXI
10. Sinn 757 S
Straight to the point, these are just recommendations and it by all means does not go into depth for each of these timepieces. If you would happen to be interested in any of the timepieces listed and you would like to know if Matheu’s Fine Watches & Jewelry has this specific watch or watches in stock then do not hesitate to give us a call to speak with one of our friendly and professional team members or take the time out and come pay us a visit to one of our showrooms to see for yourself.
When it comes to collecting watches and most anything for that matter it boils down to personal taste and gambling with whether or not the piece you obtain will be worth significantly more than you paid for it originally. With timepieces and the ever-increasing cost to rare earth materials then it could easily be said any time piece that includes rare-earth materials such as platinum, gold, silver and the like would be a good investment for any timepiece collector. However, truly that may not always be the case and who knows what the future holds.
