A piece with history, the wristwatch always brings you joy – especially if you are a watch enthusiast. Women have been wearing watches since the early 1800s, and this fact could even be traced back as far as the 1500s when Queen Elizabeth I was gifted a timepiece by Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. It elegantly tells you the time and adds a touch of charm to your look. When you want to invest in a luxury watch, the key is to choose one that you know will stand the tests of time and will match with everything you wear.

A perfect watch is one that is versatile, striking and most importantly comfortable to wear. With all these amazing timepieces that are being launched, making the right choice can be very hard, so here are some guidelines that will help you pick the perfect one for you.

The timelessness of a watch has nothing to do with its size. But if you think that a bigger timepiece provides you with clearer legibility, then don’t hesitate to go for it! What makes a watch timeless is first and foremost its elegance. Don’t invest in a watch that can’t add a captivating flair to any outfit you wear, and avoid watches that only go with your jeans and everyday t-shirts, as this option is definitely short-lived.

If you are a person who is interested in watch complications, don’t hesitate to feed your love for them and invest in a timepiece which includes the features that really intrigue and excite you. Just make sure that the watch you choose is not so delicate that it can be destroyed easily, and ultimately break your heart!

You should also keep in mind that no matter how complicated your watch is, it should always be functional. In fact, complicated watches can sometimes be a hassle when worn daily, and they tend to make your life harder if you’re not a real watch collector. Basically, ask yourself this question when you look at the watch: “Do I see myself wearing this in 20 years?” If your answer is yes, then don’t waste any more time and buy it!
