The world’s most luxurious watches

The world is changing, people are embracing new values, objects take on entirely different meanings, and even the most luxurious watches are now crafted differently.

Once, one of the most important First Communion gifts was a watch, which not only served as a cherished keepsake for years but also became an inseparable companion for a young person. As technology advanced, mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic gadgets gradually replaced the tradition of wearing watches.

Most of us check the time on our modern smartphones, while our watch (unless it’s an Apple Watch) is probably lying somewhere in a drawer.

Sometimes, however, a watch is not just a piece of jewelry that complements your outfit, but also a reflection of your taste or… prestige. Besides, it’s much more polite to glance at the face of a pocket or wristwatch to check the time during a meeting than to look at your phone.

What value do the most luxurious watches bring?

Beautiful watches are our calling card, so it’s worth choosing the right model that will serve us for many years. The most luxury watches have for years been Swiss brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Phillippe, Breitling, Fortis, Longines, Tissot, Xemex, Magellan, Adriatica, Atlantic, and Swatch.

Swiss and the most luxurious watches are assembled by hand by outstanding specialists who use only the highest quality materials. For a watch to be considered Swiss, at least 50% of the components used in its production must be made in Switzerland.

The most luxurious watches – what is their construction like?

Next, the quality of the watch is verified through a variety of tests. The tremendous amount of work put into creating these timepieces affects their price, but it also significantly enhances the prestige of their owner.

The world’s most luxurious watches feature an automatic movement, meaning they don’t require manual winding. They’re engineered so that the motion of your wrist replaces the need to turn the crown (which is essential in traditional mechanisms). You’ll usually spot the word “Automatic” on the dial of these timepieces.

A new direction for watchmakers

Watch manufacturers are constantly competing to create the perfect and most luxurious timepieces, adding not only gold and precious stones.

Modern products are made using nanotechnology—in short, they’re out of this world, both in appearance and craftsmanship.

When choosing a mechanical watch, it’s worth investing in a watch winder, which will keep your watch wound when it’s not being worn, helping it last longer. The last and most affordable option is the quartz movement—”Quartz”—the most well-known type of watch, powered by a battery.

When choosing a watch, it’s important to consider not only the brand, movement, and water resistance, but also the type of crystal. Ideally, it should be sapphire, rated 7-9 on the hardness scale, which ensures durability and resistance to scratches. Since the crystal is the most delicate part of a watch, it’s worth making the right choice to enjoy an elegant timepiece for many years to come.
