Luxury timepieces reflect elegance, class and
everything above the ordinary. However, the brand, appearance and its
exclusivity together determine the watch’s actual market price. Here’s a check
list you must tick off before buying the one you had fallen for...
Materials
Luxury timepieces are always constructed with the highest quality
of materials. The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor’s case is made entirely of
silicon making it an extraordinaire piece. Another great example here is ‘The
Richard Mille RM 56-01’ with an all sapphire glass case.
Limited Edition
Strap
The strap of the watch makes you feel like you
own this piece of luxury totally. Luxury watches have custom-made elements that
are designed exclusively to fit the case and brand design.
The
crystal is the eye of the watch. They are made of different materials like acrylic
glass, mineral glass or sapphire glass. Apart from this, the best crystals get
an anti-reflective treatment to reduce glare when trying to read the time.
Brand signature
These
high-end watches are always made of customized elements. The brand logo is generally
displayed in four places: dial, the case back, the crown and on the bracelet closure.
Movements
The
most expensive movements are mechanical. Most watch companies make their in-house
movements and modify them in order to create unique models.
