The TOP 5 Best Brands And Designs Watches To Collect
Collection is a very personal thing. Of course, being able to sell a good price in the future is a factor that needs to be considered. What is more important than preservation is that it conforms to our lifestyle and aesthetic standards, and can be truly integrated into life. Only the collection can maximize reflect its value.
On the auction floor, auctions with stories can always fetch unexpectedly high prices. This is the emotional value attached to objects in being used, with the expectation of having a beautiful story with them in the future.
Rolex -- Meteorite-faced Cosmograph Daytona
No matter how many watches you have, you will always want to own a Rolex. Rolex sells for one price a day in the second-hand market, so the best time to buy a Rolex is always now, and if you want to do it in one step, you can directly aim at the Cosmograph Die Tonner.
Rolex released three meteorite-faced Cosmograph Daytonas without warning. This is not the first time Rolex has used meteorites to make dials, but I don’t know if it will be the last.
Meteorites are rare. They are gifts from outer space. The meteorites chosen by Rolex are the Gebing meteorites that fell in Namibia in ancient times. Now this meteorite is protected by Namibian law and is difficult to mine and export.
Therefore, the meteorites used by Rolex are also in the past inventory, and will only become less and less in the future, and they will be sold out at some point.
Moreover, the cutting of the meteorite faceplate this time not only continues the aesthetic standards that Rolex has always adhered to, but also adds a special process, so it looks silver-gray as a whole, which is more textured than the previous meteorite disk.
Vacheron Constantin -- Historiques American 1921 watch
Historiques historical masterpiece series is inspired by the classic continuation of Vacheron Constantin in the past three centuries, with the imprint of that era, such as the American 1921 watch, I prefer to call it "crooked neck", it also has a name called "driver's watch".
Its most recognizable design is that the entire dial is rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise, and the crown is also moved to the time scale between 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock. When reading, you no longer need to turn your wrist to perform, and you can hold the steering wheel in your hand. Or handy when holding something in your hand.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the 1921 watch. Vacheron Constantin found the original "American 1921" prototype watch, so it has such an avant-garde design a hundred years ago, and it is quite popular.
1921's "American America 1921"
To this end, Vacheron Constantin launched the American 1921 – a limited edition platinum collection. The whole body is made of 950 platinum and is limited to 100 pieces, each with an independent number.
American 1921 Watch Platinum Collector's Edition
Most watches use 18K white gold (a mixture of 75% gold and other precious metals). After a long time, the surface will turn a little yellow. Although the new 18K white gold looks almost the same as platinum, its value is far less. Go platinum.
Panerai -- Stealth Bronze Watch
The fate of Panerai and bronze began in 2011. The brand launched its first bronze watch. The limited 1,000-piece PAM00382 unexpectedly caused a wave of bronze fever, so now every few years, Panerai will launch a bronze watch. surface.
Bronze watch PAM00382
This year is the first year of Panerai's "Ten-Year Environmental Protection Plan". Bronze, as a pure and pollution-free material, cannot be absent. The new Submersible Bronzo Blu Abisso series bronze watch is matched with a retro rich blue dial and strap.
Submersible Bronzo Blu Abisso Bronze Watch
If there is any material that can really read life and leave the imprint of time, it is bronze. Bronze watches worn for a long time will gradually oxidize, and the original strong metal texture will gradually disappear, becoming warm and simple.
The particularity and limited release of bronze watches also make it more difficult to buy, because in the future, more people will only be moved by the charm of bronze, and the annual output of 1,000 pieces is not enough for bronze lovers.
Piaget -- Limelight Gala series watch Precious "rainbow" watch
"Rainbow circle" has been adopted by major brands into the master series, and it has become a new trend in the watch industry, but all rainbow circle watches are moving.
But I always feel that there should be a purer rainbow watch, which does not require any complicated functions or other redundant designs, and a unique rainbow is enough.
Limelight Gala Precious "Rainbow" Watch
When I saw the Precious "Rainbow" watch of the Limelight Gala series watch, there was only that rainbow in my heart, and I knew it was it. The dial and bracelet of the watch were engraved with the Piaget's iconic court totem, the rainbow. The ring is especially noble.
We can often see a lot of high-end jewelry craftsmanship in watches, such as fine carving, enamel painting, gemstone inlay, etc., but because the creation space of the watchmaker is only a small space like the dial, the selected gems will naturally not be too much big.
Therefore, the jewelry watch that is really worth collecting does not depend on the size and quantity of the gemstone, but on its artistic value and whether it expresses the real mood. For example, this "rainbow" watch carries our expectations for the rainbow after the rain.
Ulysse Nardin - UFO Observatory Clock
Perhaps many of us have not heard of Ulysse Nardin, but it has a place in the bezel, the first brand to present astronomical functions on a watch, the first watch brand to be collected by the British Museum, Has the oldest enamel factory in the industry.
Ulysse Nardin is a brand that does not lack technology at all, but it lacks an entry-level explosive model. The current models are almost all collection-level, so on the occasion of the anniversary, Ulysse Nardin does not mainly promote re-engraved works. Instead, it launched a concept clock that can be called a work of art.
UFO Observatory Clock
Now most of the clocks are designed on a flat surface, and the high-value clocks are mostly ancient, which do not meet the contemporary high-end home life. Based on this demand, Athens has set up this very futuristic clock. I saw its first Eyes, it just feels as if it came from outer space.
It has three sides and can display the time in three different time zones. It is especially suitable for business people flying all over the world. The 675 parts inside are assembled by hand by master watchmakers, and the glass cover is also hand-blown. It belongs to the existing Collectible and practical works.
It also has a hidden skill that swings like a "tumbler", isn't it interesting?
