Reasons why you should Buy Vintage Watches

Watches have developed since their invention in the early 16th Century. They were kept in pockets rather than wrists. Actually, watches were only worn by women before the 20th Century.

Today you can own a smartwatch which incorporates fitness tracker and the ability to read messages and answer calls and much more things. While, watches are merely a practical item for some, others love to collect nice watches and pair them with their outfits to make a statement. Vintage timepieces prove popular with collectors at auction. We take a look at some reasons to buy a vintage timepiece.

Do not follow the crowed

With groups of people owning identical Fitbits or Apple Watches, a vintage piece creates an element of luxury. Catching the eye of people and creating a talking point. A Vintage watch showcase a quality materials such as leather and metals which were built to stand the test of time, unlike the more disposable variants of today.

Timeless designs can never miss a style, unlike modern-day counterparts that often incorporate passing fads such as the chunky G-Shock watches that were popular in the earlier part of this Century.

Reliability this Time

Keeping time was particularly important in days gone by. They didn’t have the newness of online connectivity or radio waves to update their watches. Timepieces were built to last. Military watches from the early part of the 20th century offer impeccable reliability as timekeeping was crucial during wartimes. Today, things are different, smartwatches are the most obvious, in the same way, mobile phones and computers get left behind.

Vintage Watches are an Investment?

Vintage watches are the most searched for items on collectable websites. They’re not just fashion accessories, people are buying them as an investment for the future. It is thought that as long as you maintain and also look after vintage watch they will only rise in value, making a profit later down the road if you decide to sell any.

Yes, They Make Thoughtful Gifts

In years gone by, timepieces were a gift for milestones such as coming of birthday occasions, or for hitting targets at a job perhaps... Timepieces can be moved the generations, in the same way other pieces of jewelry are! They make a more mature, long and lasting gift than a modern-day smartwatch that will become careless in a few years, thus picking up a gift that will be there for so long to remind the recipient of the day they received it.

Collectables may sit doing nothing waiting to rise in value, but a timepiece is absolutely functional. They don’t take up much space, which means you can store many if investing is your aim.
