Genuine Quality

People have become obsessed with the need to monitor the appearance and forget what the primary objective of a timepiece is, to keep time. These will then become divided in price as watches that are mass produced, by employees who are not highly trained, compared to skilled workers, who take all the time required in order to craft beautiful and luxurious timepieces. 

Famous luxury timepiece companies such as 88 Rue Du Rhone, Raymond Weil and Audemars Piguet have specialist horologists using some of the most technologically influential Swiss facilities. Patek Philippe are known to take from 10 months to 2 years in order to produce a technically perfect watch. The more consideration taken into the timepieces the more reliability it brings.

The Investment

Luxury timepieces may come with a large price, but they will be an investment, lasting many years. Men’s watches created in mass production will not last longer than 5 years, whereas luxury timepieces will last the length of time. With watches of lesser quality – made from plastic or plated alloys, value will decrease as soon as it is purchased. Luxury watches such as Rolex have found themselves sold for thousands years after its original purchase.
