Expensive Watches
Luxury, beauty and the highest achievement in precision and miniaturization of mechanical engineering which is perfectly joined in the best timepieces ever made have their price. All the best things on the market are intended for people with the most exquisite taste as well as for people with “deep pocket”.
High end watches are very expensive. The prices of most high end watches start at about $5,000, while the most expensive watches can cost several hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. The most expensive watches of course feature thousands of dollars worth gemstones and are not intended to be worn to work or to play golf. However, Van Gogh’s painting Sunflowers is probably not suitable for dinning room as well, is it?
All who appreciate high end watches are well aware that they are not only paying for precision of time display. A high end watch is like a timeless artwork which in addition also features the height of mechanical engineering. For that reason is inappropriate to compare high end and luxury watches with luxury jewelry although the finest watches can be easily worn instead of even the most exquisite pieces of jewelry. On the other hand luxury watches, just like the finest jewelry and the greatest art works do not lose their price and become even more valued through time. Some of the most expensive watches in the world have been made at the beginning of the 20th century.
