Buying the Most Expensive Watches

If you have moved up in the world and are now in the market for a timepiece, valued at say 20,000 and up... there are a few things you simply must understand about these expensive purchases. While Cartier watches and other famous makers will offer these high end luxurious pieces in many styles, the traits that you should take into account, when making a purchase of this magnitude are mechanics and materials. Let me expand on this idea:

First let's talk about materials. If you are shelling out this kind of dough on a luxury timepiece, it goes without saying that you will expect you new watch to be constructed of fine quality materials. Precious metals, for example may include 18 carat gold, instead of titanium. The materials used are only part of the story; the amount of precious metal is the other piece of the puzzle. If you are speaking about a timepiece of this value, you can expect a lot of the construction to be precious metals that means the case, as well as the hour markers and other components. Gold would be the most common precious metal, with silver rarely being used.

Natural stones would also be expected in these timepieces. You would not expect to find synthetic stones in a piece like this, because the most valuable ones are the natural ones.

Another aspect to an ultra high end timepiece is the movement. Many of these pieces will have in-house movements, which add value to them, so never skimp on the fine details when making a purchase of this stature.
