In the sections to follow, we will detail a few of the top watch brands in the market today and speak to the traits of each one which appeal to collectors. If you’re entering the high end watch market and aren’t sure where to start, this article is for you.
Omega
Omega is a household name in the designer watch space, and while the price tag won’t set you back as far as a Rolex or other top-end watch, Omega offers a product which is stylish, holds its value and is very well made. A Swiss watch manufacturer, Omega’s offerings feature timeless styles and a variety of colors and bands to make the watch match your own personal style.
Patek Phillippe
Patek Phillippe makes some of the finest watches in the world, and these watches are true investment pieces for the most affluent collectors, featuring some models which fetch well over seven figures. With nearly 200 years of reputation for making quality timepieces, Patek Phillippe watches have a unique look and they can be the centerpiece for many iconic styles, although many owners use these watches as an investment and they’re only worn on select occasions.
Breitling
Another Swiss watchmaker with over a century of success, Breitling has a rich history of creating quality timepieces which are well made and stylish. Breitling’s offerings won’t set you back as much as a Patek, and these watches are fantastic choices for people looking to purchase a great watch which can appreciate in value or be counted on as an everyday time keeper.
Tudor Black Bay
At first glance, it’s easy to mistake a Black Bay watch by Tudor for a Rolex given their classic styling and quality. Tudor’s diving watches in the Black Bay series have been around for over 60 years and they are known for being able to withstand depths of over 200 meters (660 feet). The new line of Black Bay watches features a unique and stunning burgundy bezel, which is sure to turn heads.
Tag Heuer
Tag Heuer is synonymous with speed, and these sleek watches are made for the track. Bolstered through partnerships with Porsche, the Indy 500, Red Bull Racing and more, Tag Heuer’s watches feature a patented stopwatch feature and are a must for any motorsports fan. With over 150 years of experience, Tag Heuer’s watches are well appointed and built to last.
