BUILDING A LUXURY WATCH COLLECTION: WHERE TO START?

When it comes to building a luxury watch collection, there are two main things to consider. The first one is its style. Designer chronograph watches, models with square-shaped cases, classic pure gold watches, rubber straps or metal bracelets – every detail matters! Therefore, before you start, try different options to find the key style for your own collection. Only in such a case, your timepieces will reflect your personality and way of life.

Another important thing to consider is the budget. Think carefully about how much money you can spend on your first luxury watch. We recommend to start with the most comfortable for you price level and build up from there. Besides, if your budget doesn’t allow purchasing brand new watches, you should always consider buying used watches and vintage pieces. Once you decide on a budget, it’s high time to find your first luxury watch. We have selected several outstanding items that can become an ideal starting point for any collection. Here goes!

TAG Heuer
A TAG Heuer is an excellent choice for the first luxury watch. This Swiss manufacturer is famous for its high-quality, trendy timepieces with innovative designs. What’s more, TAG Heuer offers its creations at rather attractive prices so that your first investment can be very worthwhile. For example, this stainless steel Monza with a black dial is just a perfect choice for any luxury watch collection.

Audemars Piguet
If you are looking for cool chronograph watches with accurate movements, Audemars Piguet is exactly what you need. This renowned brand was the first one to develop luxury stainless steel watches in the early 1970s, the famous Royal Oak collection. Furthermore, in the 1990s, they have surpassed themselves by introducing the Royal Oak Offshore models that have set the new standard in extreme sports high-end watches.

IWC
An elegant yet stylish IWC watch with chronograph is another good choice for novice collectors. We recommend you to pay attention to this classic stainless steel model with a white dial inspired by the first Portuguese timepieces produced in the 1930s. Its timeless design makes this accessory just perfect to suit any outfit and event.

Jaeger-LeCoultre
A Jaeger-LeCoultre is a must-have for every collector. Refined classic models, recognizable designs, precise movements – this company knows how to catch the attention of the luxury watch lovers. If it’s your first Jaeger-LeCoultre, then opt for the brand’s iconic Reverso design, like this piece of dual time zone watches in 18k rose gold.

Rolex
A Rolex is a gem of any luxury watch collection indeed. You can wear it with a suit, for business meetings, or just for casual – it always looks gorgeous and works flawlessly. Besides, with a genuine Rolex on your wrist, you are guaranteed to feel yourself confident in any situation. What’s more, this brand offers a great variety of models for any taste and budget. However, we recommend you to start with the Datejust II in stainless steel and gold.
