Anyone interested in buying a wristwatch will already know that there are some designers and models which really do ask a fair amount of your hard-earned money from you. This is because watches are still very much an essential fashion accessory for plenty of us – and they will certainly remain to be – meaning that paying thousands for a timepiece is no longer as unheard of as you might think. All things considered, however – if you have the money available but are more concerned about the product you get, rather than the name that you’ll be wearing – is paying out more necessarily worth it?
BUYING WATCHES – IS PRICIER NECESSARILY BETTER?
The main reason why people buy expensive watches lies both in the brand or designer and in the fact that doing so is seen as a worthwhile investment. Wristwatches are selling for exorbitant amounts at auction now – and while the worth of rarer models may go up as years go by, people are concerned with buying a watch to make a statement, or to commemorate an event. Watches are, of course, considered jewellery by many – and this is perfectly understandable.
The view to take here is not to try and understand whether or not pricier watches are necessarily better – but whether or not they are right for you. If you are looking for a watch that looks good, does its job and will weather the years, there may not be much need for you to splash out thousands and thousands on a gold Rolex. However, for those buyers serious about fashion, for making statements and for investing serious money, the market is wide open – don’t get boggled by the prices of some of the more expensive models on the market – they simply don’t appeal to your own tastes and needs! There’s a world of watches out there – get exploring!
