Tips on How to Start a Luxury Watch Collection

When you’re out and about talking to someone you have never met before, and they ask you the question, “so, what are your interests?”. Then all of a sudden, your face lights up, you have a shine in your smile, a spark in your eyes as you can give light and talk about your favourite hobby. Whether you show them how you keep the time or how you plan to in the future, just make sure don’t forget to tell them how you keep them protected!

So how do you start your amazing collection? Well firstly, you have to do your research, as you should always walk before you can run. Going head first into this hobby without knowing anything can not only leave you with some bad investments, but also take half the fun out of it! Next, you have to set a budget, there is no point having a nice watch without a place to put it or a nice outfit to match as sometimes less is more. As with budget, you have to prepare for your collection and as all expert watch collectors will tell you the extremely rewarding hobby of watch collecting is the importance of taking care of your first watch from the moment you have it, as you will regret not doing so down the line.
