The house is undoubtedly the biggest asset of most people, but it is impossible to carry it with you, except for relatives and friends, and it will not be taken home;
The car is easy to take out, but after all, the license plates in major cities are limited now, and the parking spaces in various ways are full. A real "showing off wealth" car gets 40W+, and the input-output ratio is difficult to meet;
Watches, a "sunset industry" that almost loses its actual functional requirements. But it is precisely because of this sense of uselessness that watches have become a powerful tool for mature men to reflect their taste. After all, it is useless, but expensive watches are the most eye-catching.
There are many kinds of watch brands. Through hundreds of years' efforts, the Swiss have turned mechanical watches into luxury goods symbolizing their status. As long as it is a luxury, there will be a chain of contempt, such as big-name bags and clothes. But the watch's contempt chain is longer and clearer.
The contempt chain of watches follows four main factors: origin, brand history, watch movement and brand awareness. This is also the main reason for determining the price of watches. Many people will judge the grade of watches according to the price.
After thousands of years of evolution, the watch industry has matured in chaos. How to choose the one (or several) watches that suit you best from the numerous star-studded watches in Wang Yang? It is enough to read this article.
"I don't wear a watch. I look at the time on my mobile phone. " Indeed, more and more young people have entered the "empty wrist era", but it is still the same sentence, "You can not buy, but you can't help but understand." As the most common status symbol of men, it takes three seconds to understand the taste, even behavior and consumption habits of this new friend, big leader or important customer.
Before it's too late, let's get straight to the point.
For most of us, it can only be seen online.
In fact, the value of these super watches is more due to the scarcity of antiques themselves. It is really rare for craftsmen who have this skill hundreds of years ago. Of course, the collections of these museums will not be sold, so let's take a look at the price with the products auctioned in public.
Chopin 20 1 carat watch is one of the most expensive watches ever, with a price as high as $24 million. Its carving is flawless, using the most precious and rare gems on the earth. Chopin 20 1 carat watch is the epitome of luxury watch, which is inlaid with different gorgeous colors of gems and brings charm.
You can buy it directly in the brand watch store without identity authentication (such as Queen, Jazz, etc. In other words, this is a top brand that only money can buy.

The new referee. 6 1 19R-00 1 The watch adopts a 39mm rose gold case with a silver grain dial. Patek Philippe slightly enlarged the diameter of the case of the new watch, which is different from the previous style on the one hand and echoes the current aesthetic preference on the other.
Time scale design of references. 6 1 19R-00 1 The most classic watch from Calatrava series (Ref.96). The new time scale adopts 18K rose gold three-dimensional faceted "bullet" shape, and the position of 12 minute adopts double time scale design, which also inspired the 18K rose Jin Jian-shaped hour hand and minute hand. If you zoom in a little, you will find innovation-faceted hands have changed from two to three now.
In addition to the changes in appearance, the watch is also equipped with a brand-new 30-255 PS manual winding movement, which is the basic movement for the first appearance of the Ref.6 1 19 watch. The total diameter of the 30-255 PS movement is 365,438+0 mm, but the thickness is kept at 2.55 mm. ..
Summary: If we can only describe the Patek Philippe Calatrava series in two words, I believe most people will vote for simplicity. If you see a Patek Philippe watch with simple lines, a classic round dial, a large three-pin (or small three-pin) and a hand-carved Paris nail bezel, you can probably be sure that it has Calatrava descent. The current price of this REF. 6 1 19R-00 1 is about 23w.
In fact, this is a very controversial category, and even some experienced players think it is hard work (similar to the concept of luxury goods). But this is the place where the most popular models are concentrated in recent years. And interestingly, the positioning of this interval is actually defined by two major watch brands. Starting point: Rolex; End point: Patek Philippe.
This series is too controversial, so I won't elaborate too much for the time being.
German and Swiss time-honored brands represented by Rolex have stable quality and fine workmanship. They have everything. Generally speaking, the budget of 3-8W can be won, which is where most people's watches are.
Finally, I have reached this hot area, which is also the best position for Rolex. At the same time, the first-class watch is basically equivalent to the top watch in most people's minds, which is also the basis for Rolex to sit firmly on the throne of the big brother in the industry.
Rolex is a famous Swiss watch manufacturer, formerly known as Wilsdorf and Davis (W&; D) The company was jointly operated by Hans Wilsdorf, a German, and Alfred Davis, an Englishman, in London on 1905. 1908 was registered by Hans Weisdorf in La Saud, Switzerland, and changed its name to Rolex. Rolex is widely loved by successful people for its solemn, practical and unpretentious style. Its watch is very accurate and extremely durable. In the watch circle, Rolex fans often describe Rolex in one sentence: "work" forever.
The design style of Rolex watches is "stable, applicable and not flashy", which is highly respected by people. Its accuracy and durability make Rolex valuable. Every watchmaker in Rolex has the same confidence, that is, everything should be improved, and every production process has been strictly controlled by quality. Every watch enters the pressure chamber to test its waterproof performance, and then it is precisely calibrated with an atomic clock with an error of two seconds every 100 years. Only when all the quality tests are completed can the watches leave the factory. Rolex people strive for perfection, and the persistent pursuit of perfection also endows Rolex with the highest quality, which makes Rolex enjoy incomparable honor to other brands.
Speaking of Rolex, most people's first impression may be the Rolex Water Ghost. Some people may not know why they are called water ghosts. Water Ghost is a nickname for Rolex. The most classic styles are Rolex Green Water Ghost and Black Water Ghost. In addition, even in the darkness where nothing can be seen, the luminous material of this watch can still be clearly seen when reading the scale. At the same time, green water ghosts are limited. You can buy and earn.
Rolex's explorer model is made of the experience accumulated by thousands of Himalayan enthusiasts through numerous challenges. The first model was made in memory of the first person who climbed Mount Everest. The whole watch is made of 904L stainless steel, which has very strong cold resistance, and is also equipped with luminous paint to ensure that the scale can be seen clearly in the dark environment. And the font is enlarged with 369 scale, which is easy to read. This watch has
Level 5: represented by established manufacturers such as Omega, RADO and NOMOS.
Although not as good as Rolex, it's not bad. The price is generally 1-5W, which is very popular with the older generation, because the overseas price difference is good and there is a long enough brand heritage/feeling. This is also the choice of some low-key elites: some people know it, but it is unlikely to be regarded as a laborer/upstart (which also shows how influential the old brand is).
OMEGA is a famous Swiss watch manufacturer with the English name Omega, named after the Greek letter "ω". Omega was founded by Louis Brandt in 1848.
Omega "ω" symbolizes the beginning and end of things. The first and last are similar to the cycle of "the last means the beginning, and the end is also the beginning" in Asian philosophy. It represents the extraordinary quality of "perfection, perfection, Excellence and achievement" and interprets Omega's business philosophy of pursuing "excellent quality" and its spiritual demeanor of "advocating tradition and being brave in innovation". Omega has always topped the sales list in China because of its accurate time, fashionable appearance and high durability. Major cities and even some small and medium-sized cities already have counters and after-sales protection.
The 50th anniversary watch of Apollo 1 1 is made of grounded fine steel material, and its design style is based on the fourth generation mobile Altman watch. The bezel of this watch is still matched with black ceramics and Ceragold porcelain gold speed scale, and the black gold color scheme looks generous with a little gorgeous feeling.
This limited edition watch is limited to 6969 pieces. The words "Apollo 1 1", "50th Anniversary" and "Limited Edition" are engraved on the back of the watch in black. In addition, the words "NAIAD LOCK" (screw-in locking structure), "Cal.386 1" (movement) and "coaxial master timepiece" (coaxial with the observatory certification) are engraved on the back of fine steel watch. Motorized ultraman series.
The mobile Altman series was born in 1957. At first, Omega's goal was to create a new chronograph watch designed for professional research, industrial development and sports.
When the first mobile Altman was launched, its design was bold and the time reading was clear and simple. The dial uses three small dials and a speedometer on the bezel to calculate the time. Now this dial design has become the standard design of chronograph.

Again, "you don't have to buy it, but you can't help but understand it." As the most common status symbol of men, it takes three seconds to understand the taste, even behavior and consumption habits of this new friend, big leader or important customer.
Finally, I quote Mr. Li Ka-shing's watch view as the end of this article: I never need to be punctual when I use my watch, because my watch is always half an hour ahead of time. So people will say, Mr. Li, you have a good memory and you are never late. Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but half an hour in Hong Kong is enough for me to go anywhere.
