Essential Knowledge for Investing in Luxury Watch Collections

Essential Knowledge for Investing in Luxury Watch Collections

Luxury watches can be both a passion and a sound investment. Focus on mechanical movements (avoid quartz), prioritize rare or limited-edition models, and stick with reputable brands—whether established icons or emerging names like Wishdoit watches. Condition, originality, and documentation significantly impact value, while overly complicated watches may not always yield the best returns. Most importantly, collect what you love—a timepiece that speaks to you will always hold worth beyond market trends.

Understanding Mechanical Watch Accuracy: What's Acceptable?

Understanding Mechanical Watch Accuracy: What's Acceptable?

Mechanical watch accuracy is measured in seconds per day (SPD) and varies based on movement quality. Standard-grade watches (non-COSC) typically range from -20 to +40 SPD, while COSC-certified chronometers achieve -4 to +6 SPD. High-end in-house calibers may reach -2 to +4 SPD. Factors like position, magnetism, power reserve, and maintenance affect precision. To improve accuracy, keep the watch wound, store it dial-up, demagnetize annually, and service every 5 years. If your watch consistently exceeds +60/-30 SPD, it may need servicing. Modern non-Swiss movements (like those in Wishdoit watches) can offer COSC-level precision affordably.

*"A mechanical watch isn’t about perfection—it’s about character. Even a 10-second variance means your timepiece has a unique heartbeat."

Moon Phase vs. Day-Night Indicator: Understanding These Two Complicated Watch Features

Moon Phase vs. Day-Night Indicator: Understanding These Two Complicated Watch Features

At first glance, moon phase and day-night indicators might seem similar, but these sophisticated watch complications serve completely different purposes. Our in-depth comparison reveals how moon phase displays track the 29.5-day lunar cycle through intricate mechanical poetry, while day-night indicators provide practical AM/PM visualization for world travelers. Discover why moon phase watches require periodic adjustment (but offer breathtaking artistry), and how day-night complications like those found in some Wishdoit watches deliver hassle-free functionality. Whether you're drawn to the romantic mechanics of lunar tracking or prefer the clean utility of a 24-hour display, this guide helps you understand these celestial-inspired features and choose the right complication for your wrist.

Key Takeaways:
✓ Moon phase = 29.5-day lunar cycle (decorative, needs adjustment)
✓ Day-night = 24-hour AM/PM indicator (functional, maintenance-free)
✓ Moon phase uses 59-tooth gear; day-night links to hour hand
✓ Moon phase drifts over time; day-night stays perfectly accurate
✓ Choice depends on whether you value poetry or practicality
