Luxury Wrist Watches - How To Start Your Collection

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.

While the internet has made it easy, scrupulous traders on the other hand have devised new ways of making a quick buck especially in the luxury watch market. Today, you will find knockoffs that are designed to look exactly as a genuine leisure brand. Therefore when it comes to buying online or even at a local store, it can be very difficult to tell them apart. Below are luxury watch buying tips.

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.

Check serial numbers- Every luxury watch manufactured around the world is always branded with a serial number. The serial number is a unique number that is used to identify the brand, the maker of the watch as well as the year or who developed it.

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.

Which is convenient? Whether you are a beginner on the lookout for a Omega or an avid collector with a fascination for Patek Philippe, it is important that you buy such luxury pieces from an authentic shop. You may visit the nearby brand store; you may also take the shorter route - an online retailer who stocks all makes and models of luxury watches.

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.

The Value and not the Price- It is important to set a budget before you buy a leisure watch. Otherwise, you may end up with over-expenditure. Do not focus on the price of the watch; instead, pay attention to the value it adds to your collection. Do not limit your choice with the brands of leisure watches you know. There may be a number of options available at your budget but you miss them just because you do not know about them.
