    A luxury watch brand that is often unknown that should deserves recognition is Breguet. They’re horological innovations are significant and an installment about their history would be equally if not more fascinating.

The Rolex is reputed to being rather poor at time keeping which I suppose is one of the reasons one buys a watch .

    Buy a nice solar watch and donate the difference to a worthy

    Don't be a snob.
    When you buy a high end mechanical watch you are just paying to the company for the right to show to your friends
    that you have the money and taste to buy a famous brand powered by an old fashioned mechanism that is less
    accurate than their 200 usd watches.

      I guess it’s a difference in mind set. A Patek is an asset, not a liability.
