Why Men Should Invest in a Luxury Watch

Men's luxury timepieces are, and continue to be, the must-have accessory and this trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Here are some reasons why men choose to invest their money in a luxury watch.

It holds its value

Many men choose to buy a watch as a strategic investment: it’s a small item that’s relatively easy to look after, and will retain or even gain its value in the years to come. Rolex, Omega, Cartier or other quality brands are sought after by collectors, particularly vintage models that are still in good condition. We’ve also seen how gold has risen in value over the years, so watches with gold elements will inevitably continue to be of a high value.

It’s timeless

Known for its impeccable quality, a well-chosen luxury watch will never go out of fashion. There may be plenty of gadgets around now that will not be so impressive in the future, but, like time itself, the watch will continue to be an essential. Even with the arrival of the smartphone, there are still many of us that prefer the convenience of looking at our watch compared to getting out our phone.

It becomes a family heirloom

A quality watch can be passed from father to son, or grandson, and become a treasured family possession that gains sentimental value. It’s also much more personal than leaving money as an inheritance, and gives future generations a choice to keep it or sell it on.

It can be used every day

Instead of keeping your money in a bank account, where you cannot see it or use it, why not put it into something you can use and enjoy? A luxury timepiece is the only investment that you can carry around on your wrist every day.

It makes a subtle statement

A luxury watch speaks of wealth, success and style without being too ostentatious or obtrusive. The type of watch you choose can also say a lot about who you are, whether it’s a sophisticated dress watch or a sporty model.

It will last a lifetime

Low cost watches usually last about 5 years, if you are lucky, and when you encounter a problem the cheapest thing to do is to buy a new one. A luxury watch is on another level of quality; it will last you many decades, with only a few minor tweaks needing to be made every 5 to 10 years to keep it in top quality condition.
