20/03/2018

"The making of a man is on what kind of watch he wears!" I often times hear my friends say and I feel this is accurate. A branded wrist watch is obviously a symbol of elegance and prestige. A costly watch carries in itself a certain status and craftsmanship which exhibits art in its truest form. How can you rate a guy riding a Lamborghini? How would you look at a man wearing a Swiss masterpiece? Surely you can readily establish a character from the guy who uses a luxurious timepiece in his hand.

2014 introduces several expensive watches in the marketplace with costs more than this of a Lamborghini. It's really breathtaking and inspiring to take a look at a real masterpiece. But before I take you on a trip to find such incredibly marvelous artworks, let's examine what sets all these watches apart from other watches, aside of course due to their extravagant price that only a billionaire are able to afford.

What Makes a Watch Expensive?

A watch could be an intriguing bit of artwork. Principally made and fabricated for the purpose of discovering time. Who could have told then that it would later defeat the world's attention with its standing and elegance? A watch, that is only a modest mechanical timepiece developed from the emerging principle of a sundial in 1940 has now turned into a real craftsman's state of the art masterpiece. The time for every details of every feature provides the timepiece its worth of uniqueness and truly enhanced by choice of quality materials utilized such as platinum, rare and pricey stones, metals or bones. A report states some producers use stones from and dinosaurs and moon bone and that what makes this kind of look pricey and extraordinary. A watch is carefully handcrafted with ability and mastery fully embedded with passion and dedication, fashioned in the creating of every detail it carries. It's a proven state-of-the-art technology since it succeeds in itself such worth of importance.

Emergence of Watches

Ahead of the 20th Century, an opinion was just intended to be a female's novelty. It's called a "wristlet" and had gained little recognition from guys as a timepiece. It was only in the 20th Century when Military started to change their views on wrist watches as they see its invaluable use in maintaining time during the war. It is believed that in 1980s, the German Imperial military were already utilizing wristwatches and devoting their time for strategic naval strikes. Such wrist watches were provided by Girard Perregaux. Decades later, the British won at the Anglo Boer War in South Africa (1899-1902).British could win the war using wristwatches to synchronize troop moves and attacks. In 1905 wristwatches became acceptable for men.

But its popularity remains restricted to girls. It was just during the 1014-1919 warfare when Europe goes to struggle against the German Empire which demands for wrist watches increased due to their popularity at the Boer War. Wristwatches afterward became a clear necessity.

Over time, wrist watches had gained fame not only among the women but among the men too. A watch is later considered a luxury thing. Advanced technology has been used as features were added and an assortment of engineering layouts was applied. Some manufacturers like Francis Baumgartner, Borgel and Dennison introduced fresh engineering designs, which lead them to create watches resistant to water and dust. Glass covering of those watches which are conducive to breaking and chirping were later replaced by a stronger kind of plastic material.

Today, brands such as Tag Heuer, Movado, etc., are much appreciated by many and were believed luxurious but some testimonials show these watches are actually overrated through their marketing strategies. Models like Tiger Woods improve Tag Heuer's value so you're really paying for the version rather than to the actual value of the wrist watch. Since watches are made from necessity, their attributes are tool-oriented. This is most likely the main reason now, most watches for men are designed with a sturdy appearance acceptable for more adventurous pursuits such as scuba-diving, sky-gliding, mountain-climbing, etc.. Other people take features like built-in radar to give you directions if you're lost in a dessert or a jungle. These features and attributes were included to cater to the need of a specific task or livelihood.
