This article distills community insights on navigating brand loyalty, practical considerations, and the emotional connection to luxury watches.
I’ve gone through a lot of brands through my years of collecting. And the one watch I avoided at all costs in my early years of collecting is the one I now appreciate the most, Rolex. That and buy what you love is the other thing I learned throughout the years. So you seem to be doing it right. Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays!
So agree there! Thanks for commenting and happy holidays!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Carrier, IWC, chopard, UN, just to name a few. But I don’t regret parting with them. I loved wearing them… and then I didn’t so it was time to go.
It sounds like you have tried a lot and have found out what you like. Every level of the journey has it’s logic. To me, it was very rewarding to go deeper in to some brands (several hehehe). I now much prefer it to diversification which was the philosophy i followed for many years….but everyone must find his own path. If your philosophy will take a new approach down the line, who knows? But it certainly sounds like you’re on a great path. Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience with us
and a very Happy Chanukah!!
