These watches are often characterized by intricate detailing, innovative features, and functions like chronographs, moon-phase displays, and perpetual calendars. A luxury watch is also an embodiment of personal style and success, often considered an investment due to its potential to retain or even increase in value over time. Whether worn daily or saved for special occasions, owning a luxury watch is seen as a mark of refinement and sophistication.
