Luxury watches are characterized by their exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and durability. They are often made from high-quality materials such as precious metals (like gold, platinum) and gems, and feature detailed finishes. Precision is another key characteristic. Many luxuries watches house mechanical movements that are intricately hand-assembled and meticulously tested. These watches are frequently produced in limited quantities, enhancing their exclusivity. Features of luxury watches can vary greatly, reflecting the unique style and functionality that each brand offers. Common features include chronograph functions, moon phase indicators, perpetual calendars, and tourbillon mechanisms.
