Luxury watches are expensive, but they are known for their quality. When I say quality, I mean “how in the heck is this watch still ticking when my father bought this 40 years ago?“.

These watches are known for their quality, which is why they make very good heirlooms. They compliment almost any wardrobe and will catch the eye of everyone around you.
