How to choose a luxury watch for men?
The luxury watch, the masculine jewel par excellence
A watch is the ultimate accessory for any style-conscious man. A nice chic watch worn well will finalize an outfit, and give it a whole new look.
It is the most relevant and suitable jewel for the modern man. Whatever his style, sportwear, elegant, casual, dandy-chic, there will always be a watch that will complete the look to perfection.
What are the criteria for choosing a luxury watch?
Buying a watch is not just like going to the mall to buy an accessory. No, it's much more than that. It is a thoughtful, reasoned purchase.
High-end items guarantee robustness and offer rare and sought-after designs. Luxury watches are prized pieces, carefully crafted by real watchmakers.
It is the whole that will seduce you, with the colour of the hands, the dial, the material of the strap, the size, the visible movement.
It is essential to choose your luxury watch by comparing the different models and finding out about the brand. Every brand has a DNA, a history, and through the watch you will be able to identify with it.
At first, we advise you to start with more classic and timeless models, which will be easier to associate with most of your outfits. They will be sure values in terms of elegance.
In a discreet and elegant style, the JET model by Hugo Boss and the Black Sunray by Emporio Armani perfectly illustrate the modern man in everyday life.
In a more Sportwear Chic spirit, you will find these two essential watch models from Hugo Boss: Talent and Trophy.
Finally, in a slightly more urban look, with the bracelet matching the accessories, shoes or jacket, the Emporio Armani Red or Black watches will perfectly dress up a Baroudeur Chic style outfit.
The movement: mechanical, quartz or automatic?
The type of mechanism is an important criterion. However, it is up to you to decide whether the precision mechanism is really important to you. It all depends on your needs and the use you will make of your luxury men's watch.
The mechanical movement is the most familiar to connoisseurs. It is the result of a real goldsmith's work, of an ancient know-how that recalls the tradition of winding the watch manually every day.
The mechanical self-winding watch is wound by the movement of the wrist during the day. A true product of the watchmaker's expertise, it is the ideal way to own a true mechanical watch without the disadvantages of manual winding.
Quartz, which was very popular in the 1970s, has lost its place in favour of mechanical and automatic clocks, which have come back in force. Quartz still has some advantages: it runs on a battery that lasts for years, and it has very high accuracy.
What are the rules for wearing a luxury watch?
This will depend on the style of the watch.
For watches with leather straps, avoid looking too sporty. It is highly recommended to match the colour of the watch strap with your shoes, belt or jacket. For example, the baroudeur chic style, with a leather jacket, cargo trousers and leather shoes, will go perfectly with this type of elegant watch for men.
For thin steel watches, they will go with most outfits, whether professional or not. It will be the default choice if you can't decide.
Lastly, watches with a large metal bracelet will go well with chic and sportswear outfits, but can also be worn with a suit, provided that the look is a little more daring.
