What is the difference between a famous watch and an ordinary watch

Watches, of course, we only refer to mechanical watches. There are many watch styles in the watchmaking industry, and the prices are also different. In particular, the prices between famous watches and ordinary watches are far from each other, so what is the difference between the two, in addition to the large cost difference and the difference in appearance design, what else is there?

Material

In order to highlight their "dignified status", the famous watch will use precious metal material to create the case and inlaid with gemstones, so the cost is naturally much more expensive than the ordinary watch. Not to mention the other, just talking about stainless steel, the 904L stainless steel used by Rolex is much more expensive than the more common 316L steel.

In addition, the sapphire crystal mirror, the strap, especially the leather strap, the famous watches are mostly made of crocodile leather, and the ordinary watches are mostly ordinary cowhide.

Movement

The movement can be said to be a very focal part of mechanical watches, known as the "heart", which can be described as the top priority. In addition to the pursuit of the ultimate in performance, the movement of a famous watch is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary watch movement. Let’s say that the movement of a famous watch is a work of art, while the movement of an ordinary watch is just a modern industrialized product.

Culture of experience

In fact, it is very difficult for a watch to make a big breakthrough, whether it is in shape or performance, and the reason why big-name watches can stand firm and hold a very high position is the experience, which is also impossible for ordinary watch brands. And, in fact, as long as a brand that has been around for a long time will naturally have a lot of interesting anecdotes, and then have its own cultural background, this kind of accumulated experience culture cannot be replicated.

Brand Value

Now wearing a watch is no longer a time tool, but more of a role in community activities. A small watch highlights a person's wealth, position and taste. The role of a famous watch is also an ordinary watch. Can not be compared, to give a very realistic example, two people wearing Rolex and wearing Tissot are standing there, you will definitely take a high look at the one who wears Rolex.

Collection value

In fact, this means that the value preservation ability of famous watches is far better than that of ordinary watches. Furthermore, famous watches are more collectible. In addition to value preservation, famous watches have exquisite workmanship and high appreciation value.
