The Art of Buying the right Timepiece
(PRWEB) June 29, 2016 -- LuxuryofWatches Releases the Ultimate Luxury Watch Buying Guide
Some connoisseurs are very particular when it comes to buying a timepiece. Whether for the energetic sportsperson or a businessman who is looking for a classy and elegant watch, there is a wide variety to choose from. We will explain in detail the best methods to search for the right watch for both new and experienced seekers of a new wristwatch. Luxury of Watches team is pleased to provide the best options in picking the perfect timepiece.
When looking to buy a luxury or casual watch, it is vital to first analyze the type of timepiece needed as there are a plethora of variations and customizations one could ask for. It is essential to check for online stores or local boutique that caters to specific needs while offering a wide range of options per criteria. When looking for a timepiece, there are a few main points worth considering:
• Functions
Today, the role of a watch is not just limited to telling the time. There are many built-in features such as calendars, altimeters, chronometers, and even moon cycles. Most people investing into a new watch usually prefer one that provides all of this essential information depending on what their profession or hobby is. For instance, a high water resistance would be a crucial attribute for those that love to go diving. A flight attendant or traveling businessman may want to invest in a GMT watch in order to keep track of different time zones. With modern technology always pushing forward the boundaries of watches, the power of wrist utility is becoming endless.
• Movement
Automatic wrist watches run on perpetual weighted gears and rotor that automatically wind the watch to draw energy from and run off of kinetic movements. They need to be worn regularly in order to be wound. These automatics are easy to operate and offer better resale value, if ever there was a need to resell.
Manual watches must be wound every so often depending on the power reserve. These are often found in high end luxury watches that pay tribute to historic eras and their craftsmanship that date as far back as the 16th century.
Quartz watches are also a good choice for those that don’t wear their timepiece every day since it will still run without being wound (automatically) daily or weekly. Every so often the battery will have to be replaced and unfortunately, most quartz watches will not give a low-battery warning before halting for a new battery replacement.
• Aesthetics and Material
What would a watch be without aesthetic beauty or a stylish exterior to complement their exquisite craftsmanship. As a tool for utility, but also an accessory, there are many styles, personalities, and materials to consider when buying a watch. There are simple casual styles to over-the-top diamond studded bezels and bracelets. Some materials to consider would be stainless steel, titanium, rhodium, 18 carat gold, PVD, and carbon fiber. Each material and its color provides a unique flavor to the watch and can also speak about ones style and personality.
• Strap and Bracelet
There are many brands available that offer both kinds of bracelets that suits the occasion and taste of an individual. The leather bracelet is best to give a formal touch, whereas the metallic bracelets are the best for casual or sporty looks. Rubber, canvas and silicone are usually for the very active individual who likes to surf, dive, or any form of outdoor activity as these straps were designed to be more resistant to high pressure, liquids, regular wear, and the elements.
Watches are not just for displaying time anymore, but can completely transform a style and make a statement. It is quite possibly the most powerful and useful accessory one can don and they should be invested in wisely. With numerous brands available such as Rolex, Rado, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Cartier, Breitling, Hublot and many others, buying a luxury to sport watch is certainly a prudent investment that offers style, prestige and utility depending on preference. This is how amazing collections start from the astute watch enthusiast to bring about the best one suitable for every occasion.
