We get asked all the time, “what is the best watch brand on the market?” To some, it’s the Rolex for their iconic name. For others, it’s the Omega for their reputation of deep sea diving watches. The truth is, however, that all of the brands we carry are of superior quality, and each brand has its own personality that cannot be compared to any other.
So, when it comes down to collecting watches, a newcomer might ask, where should one begin? Our suggestion is to find pieces that are either timeless, or extremely unique. As a watch collector, you will come to learn that most brands have thousands of watches in production, and you will need a trend for your collection.
Take, for example, a trend of color. Some collectors seek a uniform style to their collection such as mother of pearl dials, or items that accent a specific color. Another trend example might be to collect one particular collection over time. Whatever trend it is that you choose, this is what will distinguish your watch collection from another.
We have compiled a list of some top pick iconic items that would be a great start for any watch collector. The best part? All of the items featured are currently in-stock.
