How do you start your watch Collection?


We are a small group of watch experts, all of whom were once in the position you currently find yourself in, and who would be delighted to help you avoid the mistakes they made when they started buying watches. We want to help you build a collection that you are proud of and that brings you endless happiness. Before getting started, here’s what you should know.
1. Take Your Time
“Collecting is more than just buying objects.” The process of collection is the main source of joy. “Anything I do, I spend a lot of time. I do it with passion and intensity. I want to be in charge.” This really is all you need to know before you start your own watch collection. In HK colloquial saying, “Buy expensive good is better rather a cheap bad!”

2. Think About Why You’re Starting a Collection
Do watches create electrified-joy in you? Are you seeking merely to diversify your assets? If the former, you’re ready to go. If the latter, think a bit more on it. Watches should above all make you happy. Learning about them, hunting them down, possessing them, wearing them, showing them to colleagues, sharing with friends, and even eventually selling them are all steps in the process of forming a collection. If you enjoy every part of the process, you’ll never regret starting a collection. Always remember a watch has to be a watch on the wrist not in the vault… buy what you love to wear. Than the cost will be justified. Don’t just buy a Patek and hide it in the safe deposit box to let it rust while you are wearing a Cheapo e-watch and talks about Patek!

3. Buy What You Enjoy
Buy what you love – are keys to building a collection you will enjoy for years to come. There’s no better feeling than looking at your wrist and seeing a watch that speaks to you. Over the years, your taste and style will change dramatically, and so will the watches that are in your collection. Let that evolution happen and enjoy it!Don’t follow your friends’ wish list and copy that as yours, because he may love only certain brand and model, will that speak to you? Build you one wish list of watches.
4. Study and do research

Do your homework. Learn everything there is to know about the watch you are after. There's a lot of information out there in internet, but not all of it is good. Ask questions and develop a relationship with a specialist – we are all standing by to assist, and we often have more information than we’re able to fit on our site. Do not hesitate to ask questions via Whatsapp... The better we know you, the better we can advise you too!
5. Buy the watch, not the price
Many people buy a watch with only considering on pricing, remember a same model of watch say Rolex Submariner 5513 can be ranging from US$10,000, to 30,000! Why?

The Quality speak for itself, if you look at the price for US$10,000 after two years your watch would stay US$10,000 but the other one has been appreciated to UD$40,000 because the later one is of good quality whereby people is willing to pay more for…
6. Focus On Quality
We can’t stress this enough. The quality of the watch should always be the paramount driving force and pieces of outstanding condition can always be used as a stepping stone to later refine. For vintage or pre-owned watches, condition and condition, the originality are essential – how well the watch was taken care of and the presence of all original parts and documents greatly affect its value!
7. Don’t Buy Into Hype
It happens. Every couple of years, there seems to be a new “Must have”. If that particular watch doesn’t speak to you, simply let it go. There are so many watchmakers, styles, and eras represented in the market, chances are we’ve got a watch that others will say is so you!  Remember, buy the watch you love! 8. Have Fun  
Remember, a collection Isn’t defined by a Number
At what point does a collection become a collection: 5 watches? 20 watches? 1,000 watches? We like to think it starts much earlier, with the very first watch. Every collector remembers their first significant purchase, and often times it’s the only watch they have decided they will never sell. You can learn a lot about watches by studying them, but you’ll know infinitely more through ownership. Last, have fun on your watches…make your every watch carry a story behind!
