Watches have enticed civilizations for ages and are never treated less than jewelry.
Luxury watches have been a dream of many but in possession of only a few.
Used luxury watches are easily available
, and priced far lower than their original values.
They have thus, drawn much more attention. Most importantly their making and technology have attracted people.
To make you feel good about what you wear, here are a few interesting facts about luxury watches that applies equally even to their used versions.
- Did you know chronometer watches are tested for accuracy by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC)? Under extreme temperature conditions and position conditions, chronometers have shown variation by only a few seconds. Even if you’re using an already used chronometer (comes underused luxury watches), it will still be worth it.
- The most invaluable Swiss automatic watch is the Swatch Sistem51 priced just over 100 pounds. Like its original counterpart, it is made of just 51 parts, and unlike any other mechanical watch is assembled entirely by robots. Such used luxury watches are rare in the online market but if you find one, make sure you grab it before others eye it.
- In a matter of a few precious seconds, pilots and their ejection seats change G-force and Bremont MB models won’t lose a second during this G surge. The watches are temperature tested by holding them at -40 degrees Celsius and then up to another +40 degrees Celsius each for 24 hours. Simultaneously vibration and altitude testing are also done on these watches. If ever you spot such a fabulous timepiece even if it is a used luxury watch, do not hesitate to acquire it.
- Another miracle that joined the bandwagon was the Rolex-inspired helium escape valves which help sea divers watch time even underwater. Did you know James Cameron’s submersible was carrying an experimental Rolex watch on the hull that worked with perfect precision and accuracy during his voyage into the Mariana Trench? Even if you’re not a deep-sea diver, you can still flaunt one of these used luxury watch varieties anywhere and everywhere.
- The RM 50-03 McLaren F1 weighs less than 40 grams including the strap, all thanks to the layered carbon variant called graphene that makes watches lighter by almost six times and stronger by almost 200 times. Graphene has caught the watch world’s fancy ever since its invention by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov in 2004. You might not find one on the loose now, but in a few years you might, and then you can also have one, so what, if it’s another used luxury watch.
Even if you come across one of these used luxury watches, and plan to hoard it or use it, go through their history, their intricate technical & making details- they would surely have some. These details would tell you that your used luxury watches are precious in every way.
