We can easily spend 60-160K for a base model car that is only usable for 10years. Mann that is ridiculously stupid compared to 50k fr PP, 5k for omega or 0.5k fr seiko. Not to say, some watch brand model do retain value.
I always look at the Collector's Corner forum just to see what all is available. I did recently see a couple of time only Patek Phillipes in the $50,000 range. I absolutely love watches, but that being said I can't justify $50k for a time only watch,or a ...
1)It was well finished and offered something I find enjoyable like guilloché. In other words, the factor of hand work made the watch attractive front and back. Examples: A Dufour Simplicity (obviously) or the no-CNC custom watches by Atelier de Chronometr...
I personally own a watch or two that is now worth more than what I think it's worth and 2-3 times what I paid for it many years ago. And I've kept onto that one and others despite the market conditions because I really enjoy that piece. I've been told man...
Some people buy exclusivity or hand-made or bespoke at $50k (or above), and time-only watches easily make it into this category nowadays. Others just don't bother to justify the price of a luxury item, for as long as it's a fair market price at which they...
Considering the amount of micro-engineering that goes into them, I find the price of simple generic ebauches astonishingly low. I do not own any artisanal timepieces, but it is not difficult to imagine the amount of highly skilled labour that goes into th...
Personally I could imagine myself owning watches in every price category imaginable assuming I had requisite funds/income for such things and I deemed the quality commensurate to its price. This being said, the most expensive watch I own is a Big Pilot in...
Sometimes that’s a purely individual view, and other times it’s more widely held. You know very well the vast majority of the world would think not $50k but $5k or even $500 is absolutely ridiculous money to pay for a watch. Everyone here, every single on...
And that is for one of the hotter brands around, hence a market price that is higher than their intrinsic value (cost of assembly, R&D for the movement, case material etc.) Let's assume their initial retail price was less than half of their market value. ...
What works for me, might not for someone else. We all have different priorities, it isn't just a matter of what one can spend on a watch or what one finds to be worthwhile. So many watches are works of art or represent the pinnacle of a craftspersons' art...
