From simple time meters to artistic companions through time - discover the world of used watches

A lot of time has passed the first Sumerers and Egyptians about 3000 years before the birth of Christ. This innovation was a real progress - but not helpful in the dark and bad weather. It's a good thing that the high art of watchmaking has remained constantly with new inventions on the pulse of time in the past millennia.

One of the essential milestones was the development of the wristwatch. As early as the 19th century, the first models of watch bracelets were created in which pocket watches could be inserted. They were mainly worn by women because there were no watch bags in the women's fashion at that time. After 1900, the demand for the new clock type increased rapidly. The wristwatch became out of the clock bracelet and also conquered men's wrists over time.

In the course of practical, sporty and fashionable requirements, a wide variety of shapes and types of watches - pilot watches, racing watches, diving watches, dresswatches and many more developed. Brace clocks are far more than pure timepieces, they are part of human contemporary history. Vintage wristwatches also bring their own very personal story with them. Used luxury watches have been behind them for a few decades, but the most beautiful hours are still ahead of a new owner.

Antiquity and vintage watches are absolutely up to date in the digital age

In order to earn the "vintage" predicate, a watch must be at least 20 years old. Watches that are older than 100 years are considered an antique. There is a big difference to retro watches here. A retro watch is not historical, but was modeled in its design of an older style.

Different from vintage watches tick differently from the owners of the factory models. Old watches stand for nostalgia and the shine of past times. Thanks to their feel and authenticity, they convey a completely different sense of time to the wearer - you can feel the abstract phenomenon "time" when opening up or ticking the watch. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the stories that used watches can tell. Wearing a vintage luxury watch is a clear statement on the wrist and signals individuality, style and timeless elegance. In addition to emotional aspects, there are also rational reasons to choose to buy a vintage clock. In the sense of sustainability, important resources are saved. Used mechanical watches do not need electricity to operate or rare earths for production, the precious metals and jewelry stones used remain or have been preserved for a long time.

With a vintage luxury watch you invest in the future

Luxury watches from renowned brands such as Audemars Piquet, A. Lange & Söhne, IWC Schaffhausen, Delaneau, Ebel, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Omega, Cartier and Rolex also represent real values even when used in the future.
