Tell Me the Watch You Wear and I Will Tell You Who You Are...


The lasting value of watches is both material and emotional.
We appreciate luxury watches because of their refined mechanic, their high standards of workmanship and quality, their unique and elegant designs and their precious materials;
but also because they allow us to say something about ourselves.
A status, a family symbol, a story about a father and his son, an achievement… that is what they are and this is why we buy them.
These brands give us the finest masterpieces together with a unique emotion, and social media are the means to exchange these emotions with others.


The followings are some nice quotes on watches:

IWC advertisement with Norma Jean
“Rolex is more like a religion than a watch” -John Sapphire

“Omega - The link between the past and the future” -Omega slogan

“Outside of a dog, a watch is man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to tell time” -Groucho Marx

“If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.” -Albert Einstein

"Like a genial hotelier, Rolex has introduced me to some of the nicest people. I ask about their Rolex and they ask about mine. It's as marvelous a conversation piece as it is a timepiece." -Maurice Chevalier (1964)

"Where did you get your Rolex? Leaders in all walks of life acknowledge that pride of Rolex ownership starts conversations...makes strangers friends and distinguishes each as a person of taste and judgment. This is to be expected...for discriminating leaders throughout the world depend upon Rolex to guard their precious time." -Rolex Bob Hope Ad (1960)

Out of the eight brands presented (Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Chopard, TAG Heuer, IWC, Breitling and Breguet), which one do you think offers the best value for its price?
