A watch is a very personal item. It is a piece of jewelry that you will wear regularly for years to come. Having a piece of jewelry you wear every day is special. Timepieces have begun catering to this thought process, incorporating more timeless designs that are crafted for everyday wear. Although most watches are an investment, their CPW (cost per wear) will pay off in the long run, regardless of what budget you’re working with. A timepiece becomes an emblem that can be passed down from generation to generation.
It has become a trend in the fashion world to invest in a luxury watch, but there are things to look for to ensure your watch is made to last a long time. Watch movement is what powers the timepiece and helps it to operate and function properly. In addition to style preference and budget, always look into watch movement to ensure you’re getting the best quality.
You may be looking to upgrade your accessory game and want to add a watch to your jewelry arsenal. Or, maybe you don’t own a watch and want to find the perfect piece that you can wear regularly.
