Many men will find themselves caught up between the cost of a luxury watch and the benefits of owning one when they stare at a display counter full to the brim of men’s luxury watches. But what, exactly, are the benefits to owning a men’s luxury timepiece? In this article we will go over the benefits and why every gentleman should seriously consider purchasing their first luxury timepiece.
Practicality – Top of the Line Timekeeping
Every watch has this one very basic function and that is to keep the time. Of course, you could very well keep the time with a mass-produced, cheap watch. However, those watches are produced by, well, unskilled laborers, often in countries where quality control is virtually non-existent. Luxury timepieces on the other hand are crafted by master artisans with quality ahead of all else.
Well-known Swiss watchmaking companies such as Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Rolex employ master horologists that can assemble a signature timepiece in state-of-the-art Swiss facilities. In these facilities, the standards are extremely high. As an example, Patek Philippe timepieces are so intricate that they usually take anywhere from ten months to over two years to be manufactured!
This quality of craftmanship cannot be found with cheaper timepieces that are mass-produced in southeast Asia. With these level of craftsmanship, these luxury watches will be able to keep track of time reliability for decades or more. During that time, they will only require minor tune-ups which will be necessary every five years or so.
The alternative, a cheap, mass-produced timepiece will not even likely make it to its first five years. When you factor in not only the craftsmanship and quality, but the features as well, such as water-resistance, aeronautical gauges, and the like then luxury watches become an even more impressive and attractive investment.
Speaking of Investment, the Value
True enough, luxury watches are an investment. An investment, that with proper care will last the owners a lifetime, and can even be passed down generation to generation. With proper care, luxury timepieces can last not only for well over a hundred years, but, well, virtually forever. As long as there are master horologists around the globe, you can count on the timepiece lasting a very, very long time.
Luxury timepieces are also made up of valuable materials that can and will retain their value over time. You need only look at the rise of the value of gold, silver, platinum and the like over the past decade to see this.
Lesser quality watches, such a those made of plastics or plated alloys, will almost never rise in value on the resale market over long periods of time. Another factor in a luxury watches investment vale is also in the watches prestigious brand name. These watches are all the more appealing to collectors, many of whom will gladly hand over thousands of dollars in exchange for a decades-old Omega or Rolex.
A Subtle Display of Wealth
As much as Memes on Social Media claim otherwise, let’s be honest with one another: In today’s society, how we look and how we dress, does matter.
Just as a ravishing, well-dressed, gorgeous woman walking the street is more likely to draw your attention than an unattractive woman, a well-dressed man is also likely to draw more attention than one whom is not.
And just as a well-known luxury watch brand is held in high regard and value on the market, within the social influence sphere, luxury watches are widely respected and easily recognized by people who appreciate the details and luxury behind them. No matter how rough around the edges you are, paired with a tasteful and well-fitted suit or tuxedo, a luxury timepiece will help you stand out and look like a million bucks.
Such timepieces subtly display not only wealth but success and do so in such a way that it is not arrogant, yet bold enough to not be mistaken. Particularly, curious eyes will be often drawn to accessories and as such, quality will attract quality. Luxury timepieces are a sure magnet for cultivated women.
Whereas sports cars and expensive champagne are commonly rented and splurged, luxury timepieces often only are purchased by those who are careful with their finances and ones confident in their finances with nothing to prove.
Conclusion
Ultimately, any watch can keep track of time for a spell. However, luxury timepieces do it so well and can do so indefinitely. When well taken care of you can count on a luxury timepiece to stay on your wrist for a lifetime and you can even pass it down to your son or grandson and with proper education in how to take care of the timepiece they will be able to pas it down to their son or grandson as well.
The masterful skilled craftmanship that is behind each these wonderful timepieces and the inherent values of the precious metals that compose of these watches make them a sure-fire long-term investment that all gentlemen should seriously consider.
