Why Wear A Watch?

From iphones to laptops to apple watches, there are now many alternatives to the wristwatch when it comes to telling time. And yet the luxury watch endures.

 

Why Wear A Watch?

1. Functionality
2. Status
3. Style
4. Sentimentality
5. Resale Value

 

 

1. Functionality

There are few items in our everyday lives that are equal parts necessity and luxury. Watches are one of them as they serve a truly essential function.

Ultimately a watch is a more practical choice than relying on your smart phone. There are many scenarios, such as job interviews, where it is not appropriate to use your cell phone but you may still want to keep track of time.

 

 

2. Status

Luxury watches have always been there to celebrate the next chapter in a man’s life. Watches make a great gift: when you graduate from high school or college you may be gifted a nice watch. When you get married you’re often gifted a nicer one, land your first big promotion you buy yourself an even fancier version. Luxury watches are the gift of choice to celebrate a landmark age or achievement.

They are a symbol of success and an item that you can be simultaneously proud of and grateful for. Patek Philippe, Rolex, Hublot, to name a few, are all luxury brand names that evoke status and prestige. They are big ticket purchases, worn with pride.

 

 

3. Style

With so many options from brand to face color to dial size, the wristwatch is always personalized to the wearer’s needs and tastes, making them an easy and exciting way to showcase your personal style at all times. From yellow gold to white gold to stainless steel, to divers watches to dress watches to sports watches, choose a watch that fits your aesthetic.

A good watch is the ultimate fashion accessory for both men and women. Wearing a wristwatch is much more stylish and sophisticated than relying on your mobile phone to tell the time.

Your watch choice speaks volumes about your personal style. Most serious watch collectors have a variety of watches to match different outfits, occasions and activities.

 

 

4. Sentimentality

For centuries wrist watches have been passed down from generation to generation, making them a valued family heirloom for men and women around the world. Many will engrave the back with meaningful messages, ensuring that their history is preserved throughout their journey.

Much like jewelry, a watch holds emotional value and meaning.

 

 

5. Resale Value

Any watch lover will tell you that a luxury, high quality watch is always a great investment. They are built to last a lifetime, can be passed down to your children and are a staple luxury item.

Unlike a smartphone, they are not obsolete once the latest, more updated version comes out the following year. They tend to hold their value well and sometimes increase in value as time goes on, making it enticing to upgrade over the years.

 

In Conclusion

If you are wondering ‘why wear a watch’ or ‘why buy a luxury watch’: ultimately, a luxury watch purchase is a considered purchase. One not based on passing trends or the latest technology fad, but on style, sophistication and longevity.

Grow your personal watch collection over the years: add in new brands, quartz watches, mechanical watches and more. You can do so selling or trading in your existing watches for new ones.
