Considering the prevalence of technology, particularly cellphones, I often hear people ask, “Why should I even bother to wear a watch?” A declaration like this never fails to leave me bewildered. There is no way that you could ever take for granted the incredible technological accomplishment that even a low-cost watch is. In the realm of engineering and art, the idea of something so little that does not need a battery to function and can be worn on the wrist might be considered a statement. On the other hand, this view is not very common. A marvel of engineering and an artistic expression, watches are a work of art. This is the reason why some watches are very collectible and sought after, all of which contribute to the pleasure of collecting watches. There is no denying the fact that there are those who like the flash. Certainly, one may think of rappers or certain celebrities in this regard. Subsequently, those who desire prestige emerged. The only thing that these people are interested in doing is flaunting themselves or making hints, or more accurately, shrieking, “Look at me, I am wealthy!” Unfortunately, the world of watch collecting is tarnished by the actions of these individuals. The vast majority of people who are actual enthusiasts probably do not possess even a single watch that is adorned with diamonds or that is iced out. How come, you could ask? For the simple reason that collectors are not interested in jewelry, they are more concerned with the watch itself and with aspects such as the movement, the location where it was manufactured, and the history of the watch (also known as provenance), to name just a few possibilities. Real unique workmanship is highly valued by collectors’ interests. The production of some of the most prestigious timepieces, which are entirely handcrafted, may take anything from a few hours to many months or even years. It is true that these watches are quite expensive; nevertheless, here is where the concept of “watches represent art” comes into play in the conversation. How does one determine the worth of a Picasso? The Christie’s Auction Company made a sale of a Patek Philippe watch in May of 2010, selling it for $5.7 million. The good news for those of us who are unable to part with the entirety of our retirement plans and then some, as well as those of us who were raised with a strong protestant conservative work ethic, is that there are a great number of brands that are both affordable and highly collectible from which to choose. It is possible that you have a passion for vintage. The pricing range for many excellent antique timepieces is between $200 and $500. I recommend taking a look at some old Omegas. Tissot and Hamilton are two additional excellent names that are also on the brand new side and are budget-friendly to take into consideration. Keep in mind that you should always get the finest that you are able to afford, but the most important thing is to purchase what you like. An affordable watch that you like will stand the test of time and will always provide you a feeling of pleasure. This is true even if the watch is low-cost. It is of the utmost importance to realize that if you like or adore something, then other people will as well. If you come across someone who is wearing a watch that you find attractive, you are welcome to praise them or inquire about the watch. The majority of collectors, including myself, take pleasure in being questioned about any of my watches. It is conceivable that you may acquire new knowledge or perhaps make a new acquaintance as a result of this. A genuine collector is one who makes no attempt to be snobbish.
