Do you want a stunning timepiece? You’re willing to spend the money, you just need to decide what kind you want. Right. Well, there are a lot of luxury watches out there, so let’s take a look.
To begin with, let’s look at Hublot watches. Hublot watches are Swiss made and are some of the newer luxury watches out there. Their trademark is the natural black rubber strap which took three years to make. They use some of the finest materials in their watches, like titanium screws, black nickel indices, and carbon bridges. Hublot watches typically have a more rugged and adventurous style.
A Lange & Sohne watches have a one hundred and fifty year history. This company has pioneered timepiece technology, creating a double chronometer allowing for the timing of two different events for up to thirty minutes. Typically these watches have a more classic, spartan design and are made out of gold or platinum.
AP watches (Audemars Piguet) were founded in 1875 in the Joux Valley and have maintained a tradition of excellence . AP watches have a variety of styles, ranging from the more contemporary to the classic, to the sporty. In any case, these timepieces attain the pinnacle of luxury.
These are just some of the brands you may encounter when searching for a new luxury timepiece. It’s up to you to decide what kind of style you prefer.

To me, there’s nothing like designer watches. Some people get fanatic about clothes, some about shoes, and other about cars, but me, I love a fine watch. I can tell a Patek Philippe watch from a Panerai Watch with the greatest degree of accuracy.
But I feel I have to justify my love of fine watches to most people who don’t understand why you’d pay so much for a watch. They simply don’t understand what it’s like to have that kind of luxury wrapped around your wrist. Many feel that in today’s world where we have the time on our cell phones, ipods, computers and other gadgets, the need for a watch is over.
The common consensus today is that it’s almost overkill to have all those time-telling devices on you.
But unlike these gadgets and gizmos, watches are timeless.
I got my first watch from my grandfather for my thirteenth birthday. He got it when was 19, from his father after the war, and now he was handing it down to me. I remember feeling like an adult for the first time having this beautiful timepiece on my arm. And you just don’t get that kind of nostalgia with a cell phone or iPod. So in short, designer watches are more than just a fashion statement or a way to show off your status.
A fine watch can be a timeless, meaningful heirloom that can be passed on from generation to generation.
