We Sell Your Luxury Watches
Overview
In modern-day society, determining the time is never an issue. Smartphones have become an extension of our bodies; we are constantly updated, alerted, and notified in an automated fashion. Although these devices have replaced the necessity of the wristwatch, nothing than replace the allure and sophistication of sporting a luxury timepiece on your wrist. The first wristwatch was created by Patek Phillipe in 1868 in an effort to simplify the pocket watch. Phillipe mounted a small clock face onto a rectangular piece of gold, and secured it to a gold bracelet. This first design was accented with rose-cut diamonds and marketed as a women’s accessory. It is believed that it was not until nearly four decades later, in 1904, when Louis Cartier created the first men’s wristwatch. Cartier was inspired by his aviator friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, who had complained about the nuisance of fumbling with a pocket watch during flight. Cartier named the first men’s wristwatch ‘Santos’, marking the moment in time where the wristwatch 'took off'.
