Nevertheless, it is good to know what type of money you’ll need to spend when your wrist has earned its first fine timepiece. Why do you want a luxury watch to begin with? Whether it is professional performance or a sense of class and status, high-end watches are emotionally gratifying. I like high-end watches because they are made with quality, and can be one of the only things even very wealthy people own that are potentially hand-assembled and highly detailed.

    In a world of mass produced and disposable items, a beautiful luxury timepiece is a wonderful way to assert your personality and carry around an appreciation for tradition and craftsmanship for everyone else to see. There is no specific price point where “luxury” begins and mainstream ends, but you are generally going to spend at least € 1.000 or so when buying your first luxury watch. How high does that number go? How high can you count?

    For most of us, watches are a tool. Specifically, watches are a tool that tell us when it’s five minutes to happy hour, when it’s five minutes to the end of happy hour and how long we’ve been in jail after violently insisting that happy hour continue. But for many men, watches are regarded as the No.1 male accessory because they encapsulate coveted masculine attributes: namely style, engineering and status.

    And because this “thinking-man’s” accessory shows no sign of being supplanted by something less intricate -- like sweatbands -- a solid background in watches is a necessity for any chap looking to elevate his profile.

    Thankfully, I’ve taken the time (pun unavoidable) to compose a primer of everything a
    men's watch novice needs to know in order to stay afloat in the sometimes cutthroat world of watch aficionados.  So read on and make sure that you never get stuck trying to convince anyone that your calculator watch is a personal GPS.

    Enjoy!
