Is it meaningful to wear an expensive watch, but no one knows about it?

Find out first whether you buy a watch for others or for yourself.

Buying a watch itself is the embodiment of your own value and taste, and it is also a symbol of your status. According to the consumer class, in fact, most people in China don't know watches, only know whether you wear them or not.

People who know a little about watches will know Tissot, Longines, Rolex and other watches, but they won't know if they are subdivided. On the other hand, wearing a watch can also find people with similar interests. If others can't get your watch, no matter how much you talk about it, others will only care about "how much" and "which country", and it's meaningless to talk about it again.

Although many people wear watches, few people play them. There are only a few people who can see the brand at a glance and distinguish between true and false. But a relatively low watch and a relatively high watch bring completely different self-confidence and temperament, otherwise they can be compared completely.

Of course, I don't know anyone around. On the one hand, it also shows that your values and tastes are different. You don't have to follow suit at all. Being yourself is the most important thing.

I remember that thirty or forty years ago, some people wore watches to remember the time and facilitate their work. However, at that time, there were not many timing tools. A watch was a real luxury, and only a few people owned it. Nowadays, the timing function of watches is weakened, and most people wear watches, which plays a role in matching clothes and making the finishing point. Most of the famous watches on the market range from thousands to tens of thousands, and middle-income people can afford them, depending on whether you like them or not. Rich people buy hundreds of thousands or even millions of watches, which is a symbol of status and a capital to show off. Tens of thousands of dollars of Rolex, Omega, Wan Guo and so on are just like women's jewelry bags, which play a decorative role.

People who like watches will be poisoned when they see their favorite watches. People who don't like them say that you are full after spending so much money on a pimple. Everyone has his own hobbies, depending on how you understand them. Those who wear watches are not necessarily showing off their wealth and having high taste. Those who don't wear watches don't necessarily have no money and no taste. But in general, wearing a suitable watch is much more tasteful than wearing a gold chain around your neck!

In the early 1980s, when I was working, my father gave me a Guangzhou brand watch. Although the price is only more than 90 yuan, it can only be bought with coupons, which is also a very rare thing. In the early 1990s, I gritted my teeth and spent more than 800 yuan to buy an imported Ingrid double calendar mechanical watch, which was very popular in China at that time. My father is a doctor and wears this brand at work. I bought it in Wangfujing when I was working in Beijing in my early years. I remember it was a three-hand watch without a calendar, simple and generous. Since the emergence of a large number of new timing tools such as electronic watches and mobile phones, our attention to watches has decreased.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's quality of life in China, watches have begun to rise again, and China has become a big market for internationally famous watches. Interest began again, and I began to pay attention to watches. Just as I like photography, I like the precision technology and artistic quality of mechanical watches. I think buying a watch is not to show off anything, but a consumption behavior. Do what you can, just like it. Now there are many brands of watches, and there are also many brands that are close to the people. Affordability is a pursuit and display to enrich life and improve the quality of life. When people's consumption level reaches a certain level, they will always pursue a higher quality of life, which is also a manifestation of social civilization and progress.

Why not buy a watch that you like and can afford economically, and enjoy the beauty of machinery and the confidence and pride brought by technological civilization? Whether others understand or not has nothing to do with your pursuit, unless you really want to show off.

My family photo, but I can't find the Guangzhou table.

That's asking for it. Are you bored?

This is simply the fault of the watch, not the fault of the audience.

It's like riding a bus in fur, but also complaining that passengers are ungrateful and don't know how to rub around politely.

On what occasions, what clothes to wear; Who to meet and what to talk about. This is the rule.

Even if you are pretending, you must find the right opponent. Otherwise the audience will laugh at you without knowing what it means.

Wear a watch, go home and pretend to be forced, no one knows you, no one looks at you when driving a good car, no one looks at you when using your mobile phone, and the rate of turning around when riding a donkey is sure to be high. That is the reality.

Many people will ask this question, what's the point of wearing an expensive price list or understanding it? But in fact, why do few people ask, what is the significance of watching a luxury car drive a luxury car? In the final analysis, everyone's understanding of high-priced watches is not rational enough.

Learn clock knowledge

High-end watches generally use top-notch technology and materials, so you can learn a lot about watches by watching some expensive watches frequently. Lao Wei will give you an example. Many people may know that Rolex's diving watches are very good, and they know "Green Water Ghost" and "Ghost King", but they may not know their watchmaking technology and material selection.

Technically speaking, Lao Wei first thought of the oyster-shaped "lock bottom, lock handle and lock ring" invented by Rolex in 1926, which was turned from steel as a whole. Later, with the automatic winding mechanism, the well-known oyster perpetual calendar watch was made. The success of Rolex oyster perpetual DEEPSEA watch is attributed to several breakthrough technological innovations, including Rolex's unique new case structure-Ring Lock system, which ensures that the watch can withstand great pressure in deep water.

Moreover, the helium exhaust valve device built by Rolex in cooperation with COMEX, a French diving company, is absolutely necessary for deep-sea diving watches, which can be very waterproof and prevent the case from being broken and deformed. It can be said that Rolex has laid the foundation of all diving watches, and many people will think that all brands of diving watches are mysteriously similar to Rolex diving watches.

Hublot is very innovative in material selection. Hublot's brand concept is "the art of fusion". In watchmaking materials, it perfectly blends precious metals such as zirconium, tantalum, magnesium and titanium with diamonds, rare gems, gold, platinum, ceramics, fine steel and natural rubber.

Hublot Big Bang Ferrari Magic Gold Mechanical Men's Watch

The Big Bang Ferrari watch Hublot is the world's first "magic gold", equipped with UNICO movement independently developed by Hublot. Combine Hublot's innovative watchmaking technology with Ferrari's top racing quality in an unprecedented way.

Understand brand tonality

Secondly, in addition to technology and craftsmanship, many foreign famous watches are also very attractive in brand tonality and brand culture. For example, feelings, styles and ideas can all make a watch brand. Then, when you look at countless watches, the culture of these watches can become the talk material for you to communicate with people in your daily life, know a little about watches and talk more.

Blancpain Villeret series mechanical men's watches

Blancpain, on the other hand, has only two unchanging creeds: "Only make mechanical watches, only round watches." Advocate an exquisite and elegant lifestyle, and condense emotion, art and culture into a vital and beautiful pursuit in human life. This concept left a deep impression on Lao Wei in Blancpain's moon phase table. The most touching thing about the Blancpain-Villarreal series is this squint "moon face", but the role of the moon phase in the watch always reveals a gentle and classical temperament.

Panerai Luminor 1950 Series Mechanical Men's Watch

Inspired by the design of the sea, Panerai positioned the brand as a high-end watch in the field of sports and leisure. Italian design style and Swiss professional technology make every watch of Panerai have distinctive brand style and excellent quality. The crown bridge designed by Panerai to make military watches have better waterproof performance, and the luminous function of Radiomir and Luminor series is also worthy of our praise.

Cultivate aesthetics

When it comes to aesthetics, many people will think that there is no absolute standard for good looks, and expensive prices do not necessarily mean good looks. But as a luxury watch, when the price reaches a certain level, it will pursue the ultimate aesthetics, and many ingenious designs only appear in high-end watches.

Audemars piguet Royal Oak Offshore Series Mechanical Men's Watch

Speaking of watch design, how can you miss Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Series? It's very different from those people who like round and round dial designs outside. Audemars piguet's classic octagonal bezel, decorated naked with eight steel nails, has become the brand memory of Audemars piguet. The dial is decorated with oversized black plaid, which is full of relief, modern and scientific when worn on the hand.

Henry Mu Si H. Mo Ze&; Cie Innovator Series Mechanical Men's Watch

But not everyone likes this complicated mechanical design and dial decoration. Many people are pursuing simple style and low-key feeling. The dial design of Henry Mushi is the best representative of simplicity. Inspired by ancient pocket watches, Henry Mushiyong designed a small stopwatch at 6 o'clock, and the dial still uses Henry Mushy's signature Fumé smoked plate.

Henry Mu Shiyong created the third endeavor center second.

Nothing else, but it seems to reveal pure confidence. I am such a simple design, but you can recognize me at a glance. Thanks to the smoked dial made by Henry Muster, it will never be forgotten.

Go deep into the soul of clocks and watches

It is said that the movement is the soul of mechanical watches, and high-priced watches are often the interval of technical experience of big-name movements. With the cost, technology can be piled up at will. In terms of movement, it is a battleground for high-end watches. These top brands fight for the core of the watch-the movement, which can be said to be three days and three nights from the accuracy, polishing level and modeling of the movement. These are two watch brands that I recommended to you the other day.

Count, founded in 1874, has been established for nearly 140 years. 1957 successfully developed a 9P winding movement with a thickness of only 2.0 mm 12P automatic movement with a thickness of only 2.32 mm was introduced in 1960, which are the thinnest manual winding movement and automatic winding movement in the world respectively.

Earl Altiplano series mechanical men's watch

Since there is an ultra-thin earl movement on the thickness of the movement, who will it be at the exact time? The legendary movement El Primero of Guinness is the most famous movement in watchmaking history and the most accurate series of mass production movements in the world at present.

El Primero is an automatic chronograph movement with the highest vibration frequency, with 36,000 revolutions per hour, accurate time to110 second, and kinetic energy stored for more than 50 hours. 176 patents, 180 classic movement types, and thus developed 500 movement styles. Therefore, Zenith's chronograph has become one of the most accurate chronographs in the industry.

It is true that many people buy watches for others to see, but there are also many people who buy watches for themselves to smell.

Mechanical watches are almost the most sophisticated mechanical equipment that ordinary people can access. Whether people around you know each other depends on whether you want to give it to yourself or let others pay attention to envy.

I bought a lot of watches in recent years. Except for the two Omega's, most people around me don't know them, except some friends I recently promoted.

If you need others to know, buy big brands that China people know. Rolex Cartier is the most suitable. Of course, if your life circle is richer, it is Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet. If you don't need others to know, in addition to these two brands, there are Langer, Glashü tte, Frank Mueller, Roger Dube, and even smaller Henry Mu Si, Parma Johnny and so on.

For me, I don't care whether others know me or not, because I buy watches mainly for appreciation and wearing.

In our country, young people in many places earn thousands of dollars. But car owners buy an A4 and westerners buy a Q5, both of which are loans. Go out to play, smoke all China cigarettes, soak in bars, and only eat big meals.

If you are from that city, you can certainly feel my description-there, the circle culture is like this, everyone is playing, everyone is used to pretending to be B, and everyone is comfortable pretending to be B.

In our country, there is also a place with different social culture. When a brick falls on the street, there is a great chance of killing a boss who collects rent every month. However, people in that place, who travel by car, have never seen anyone who is keen on the whole Range Rover and X6. If you happen to work in this city, you can probably feel the low-key of the rich local aborigines around you. Even if you earn millions, you can't drag it into 2.58 million in that city.

I can't help it If you want to buy a watch and care about the feelings of people around you, it depends on who you are, what circles and atmosphere you are around.

If your price is average, at least not more than the number of people around you, and no one wears a watch, then you don't have to. You know, many people know you very well or have a basic judgment. If you wear a watch beyond your current class, you will not be envied, but will be considered as a second-year student who has no money to get on the bus.

If you are rich, your friends are similar-it is unlikely that no one knows a better watch, so it shouldn't be like this.

If you are worthy, but the friends around you are so low that no one knows that luxurious watch, then why do you care about them? You can hang out with the circles that meet your values.

Do you wear a watch for others to see? In this case, you may lose your balance, because most people don't know how to look at it from the current consumption level.

First of all, I think the phrase "you can tell the time with your mobile phone" is the biggest misunderstanding in recent years. In a special workplace, try to find out whether it is polite and convenient to keep looking at the time with your mobile phone. Watches have always been the most convenient tool to know the time.

But it is also a watch. What is the biggest difference between thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands? I'm afraid it's your own pursuit of personal quality of life. You are not satisfied with tools that are only used to look at time. You want to get more fun from the watch, including the history behind it, the beauty brought by mechanical manufacturing, and of course, it is good enough to look good and cultivate aesthetic ability.

Many times, people around you don't care what watch you wear, if they don't pursue it themselves. If you want everyone to say "wow" and admire your eyesight and strength, I'm afraid it's really much ado about nothing. Good things are your own enjoyment first, and everything else is second.

But wearing an expensive watch really doesn't show some extra value?

The answer is yes. In fact, you can use it as a way to make friends. In the vast sea of people, you suddenly meet someone who knows how to express love and praise your choice. Just like bosom friends, you will have great opportunities to communicate and become friends. There are many true stories, that is, two people in business suddenly see each other's tastes in watches are very similar and hit it off. From hobbies to business, sometimes you will succeed.

I especially admire people who are willing to invest in "beautiful" things. Taste requires experience and money, and it is never achieved overnight. Without the courage to spend money, there is no chance to meet the right person.

Wear a good watch, please yourself first, then meet your confidant. This is the best value.

My monthly salary is less than 2w, and I just paid off my car loan. My monthly payment in Xiamen is1.3w. I am 35 years old and have always liked watches. I think, instead of spending 23,000 yuan on those fine imitations, it is better to spend 10000 yuan on a watch that suits your current ability and status. I watched many people win thousands of dollars a month, wearing exquisite imitations, or some really powerful people are doing things that are not in line with the identity of the original watch wearer. A watch is something that enhances your original intrinsic value and temperament and makes you more punctual. It is the same as the jade pendant worn by ancient gentlemen. If nothing is worthy of virtue, I think it will lose the meaning of wearing a watch. Remember, a gentleman who really loves watches will not look at whether the watch brand you wear is high-end, but will really recommend you to wear it according to your identity, whether it is an entry-level Tissot Seagull citizen or a high-end Jiangge Centennial.

That's a lovely idea. In fact, everyone will go through this stage. When they first start to buy luxury goods, the first and second bags must be for everyone to know and admire them. If they don't know each other, they will even deliberately provoke a topic for others to see. I remember that when I bought my first LV, I inadvertently pretended to take a photo, and then sent a circle of friends to say that it was raining today and my shoes were wet.

Everyone is famous, too. Did you buy a new schoolbag? Not bad, huh? how much is it? Where did you buy it?

Here I think the value of buying this bag is basically there. I was particularly proud all day, but it was almost a week, and then I wrapped it normally. I didn't feel much. I like it for sure, but I don't particularly want to show it off to others.

For a long time, I didn't announce what luxury I bought.

Until I bought Chanel's bag for the first time, I also took a photo saying that I started eating dirt now. Then there was a cry from below that I was rich.

So I can fully understand how a person who bought a good watch wants others to know. I am most afraid that others will not know, so I respect my heart. If you want to know, you might as well shout it out, or send a circle of friends to say that you bought a watch and accept compliments generously. However, when you have experienced this novelty, you will find that this watch will always belong to you. Whether others find out or not, it will be your wealth and you will be very happy.

Don't think that letting others see it is a way to show off your wealth. I just want to accept praise and envy, which is normal vanity. . The watch was not stolen, but you bought it yourself.
