If I had to give a list of reasons why men like watches, I could name thousands, but one of the most plausible reasons is that ‘analog sentiment can be found in an era where digital is rampant’. Luxury watches to be discussed here refer to mechanical watches, and mechanical watches refer to devices composed of hundreds or thousands of parts using a clockwork as energy. I think in a book, ‘a watch is an efficient means of work because it can convey the implication that ‘I have this much power’ in a short time and without verbosity, but it is half right and half wrong.
Watches you don’t need to know
It’s not meant to be shown to anyone, but if you just watch the gears interlock and turn, you can feel a sense of mystery and stability in itself. Today, I would like to summarize the rankings of luxury watch brands that people who have just bought a luxury watch hang out with their necks. Just as you don’t need to know more than a Lamborghini among automobiles, there is such an area in watches as well. This is an area that ordinary people do not need to know. After all, Patek is number one and Breguet is number one, so we have to fight, so that other people don’t even recognize us. In fact, not many people have seen it offline. Oh, and as I said in my previous post about vintage Rolexes, I am the one who appreciates Rolex as the best.
1. Patek Philippe
2nd and 3rd places are quite controversial, but 1st place is not very controversial. Patek Philippe, based in Geneva, Switzerland, started in 1839, but it was in 1851 that Patek Philippe was officially established. The reason why we are talking about 12 years is because the history must be long to receive the punishment. In Korea or Switzerland, they want to be treated the same way. 명품시계 브랜드 순위

It’s a joke, and the truth is, brands at this level are very sensitive to history, so it is important to attract as many souls as possible and promote ‘our brand will come from a long-established watchmaker’s family that has maintained its tradition and tradition since ancient times’. At this level, it seems like they won’t fight each other, but they are competing hard in their own league.
I wrote tourbillon in a chic way as if indifferent
The reason Patek is not debating much even if he picks Patek as the number one is because there is no missing part in terms of technology, history, recognition, price, and performance. In particular, Patek is famous for making complex watches that change various functions, and one of them is the Star Caliber 2000 pocket watch, which was released in 2000 to commemorate the new millennium. Yogur is a work that kills the spirit of other complicated watch brands by hitting all the functions that can be put into the watch, such as a perpetual calendar that reflects up to a leap year, sunrise, sunset, alarm, and minute repeater. If I had been Breguet, I would have gone by saying, ‘Oh yes, your forearms are thick’.
This should be enough for everything except Samsung Pay.
Although traditionally a family specializing in classic design dress watches, it launched the sports line Nautilus in 1976, and it is gaining popularity among rappers along with Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak. Because Rolex can’t do Flex anymore.
2. Breguet
In fact, there are a lot of contenders for 2nd place. Typical examples are Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, and A.Lange & Sohne, but I personally choose Breguet. Founded in 1775 by a watch enthusiast named Abraham-Louis Breguet, Breguet led the watch industry with numerous ‘firsts’ records. Although fighting with Cartier, he invented the first wristwatch, and it is safe to say that he has effectively set the standard for watch technology, such as a self-winding device, a tourbillon, a minute repeater, an overcoil hairspring, and a perpetual calendar. .
Patek is also busy eating and buying…
The classic lines of watches are also very beautiful, but the Breguet Marine, which Seo-jin Lee often wore at Three Meals a Day a few years ago, is quite acceptable as a daily watch. That’s not to say that the price is outrageous. According to the official website, the retail price is 19,170,000 won. VAT included.

Originally, I tried to get to the 3rd place, but again, I failed to control the amount. I’m like that… Actually, as I wrote in the title, these are watches that we don’t really need to know, so I was going to go ahead and skip it, but there was a lot more to say than I thought. In the next post, I will introduce all the other watches that you do not need to know, and from now on, I will introduce watches that are good to know, so stay tuned! Subscribe and like!
