And now we need to discuss the reality of high-priced wrist wear. You buy yourself a watch that lasts longer than you. Creepy, huh? But that’s just a smart financial decision.
When choosing a watch, the idea of buying an heirloom is always in mind. You are 28-35 years old. Rolex Submariner is the corporate uniform since it is a safe choice. I guess, you see it every time you take a coffee in the city.
Safety is boring. But, you need something that your grandchildren fight for. See Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. It has a history that can’t be destroyed by the stock market. Manual winding means working with the mechanism every day.
There is a problem though – mechanical mechanisms are delicate. You’ll face a repair during the most inappropriate time. Choosing Patek Philippe Nautilus means decades of maintenance.
If you can’t pay for services, then you shouldn’t buy the watch. You shouldn’t choose titanium as a storage place. These tools get devalued very fast unless you win the hype lottery.
The real heirloom has a story. The scratched Seamaster is always more exciting than the clean and safe queen. Scratch on the bezel, it’s just the story about the wild night in Miami.
Since you plan to pass the watch to someone else, concentrate on the water resistance. It will change during fifty years and the gaskets will degrade. Choose the brand with an excellent archive and easy availability of spare parts.
The best choice is Grand Seiko. Finishing is exceptional considering the price, it’s almost always comparable with Patek. The wrist sweat will ruin your case back someday, so you’ll need regular servicing. There are invicta pro divers? They are cheap, heavy, and cartoonish.
Choose a partner for your business. It should resist both boring and interesting periods of your life. The smartwatch isn’t something you expect to survive until 2050. This technology will become obsolete in five years. Seriously, it’s unbelievable that an Apple Watch will live ten years.
To sum up, choose a watch that makes you happy today. Only when you start loving it, you’ll be willing to maintain it for the next generation. This is the only way of building an heirloom.
