Investment Watches for 2023: Our Top Picks
Good Watches to Invest in: The Brand
Each brand has their own unique story and heritage within the watch making industry. When it comes to choosing an investment watch, make sure to research the different popular brands in the market and read about what makes them special in terms of their history, their technological achievements, and their unique look and feel. This will help you pick out the brand that has everything you’re looking for.
How to Choose a Watch: Watch Features
When it comes to narrowing it down to a specific watch, a key factor to remember is that most watches fall into the category of mechanical, automatic or quartz when it comes to what powers them. Many watches will also be created with certain conditions in mind, such as pilot watches or diving watches. These are usually steeped in a history of providing technological features for these environments but will also inform the look of the timepiece.
If using your luxury watch for diving or flying, then features like water resistance and magnetic fields will be key considerations. If you’re looking for a watch that will be worn more casually or as a statement piece, then the aesthetic will be your primary concern.
Watch Investment: The Budget
As with any luxury purchase, your budget for investing in a watch will always be a key consideration but do focus on choosing a timepiece that you truly love. Once you’ve found your dream timepiece, then you can always take advantage of our Interest- Free Credit Finance. This makes a higher-value purchase more easily accessible to everyone.
Caring for Your Timepiece
Once you’ve secured your luxury watch, you’ll want to keep it in perfect condition. All automatic and mechanical watches will require servicing over the course of their lifetime and a quartz watch will need regular battery changes.
A luxury watch when well maintained and regularly serviced will be cherished for a lifetime and can last for generations. We offer a repair and maintenance service in many of our shops and also recommend that you insure your luxury watch when you purchase it with us.
