There is a reason popular brands like Rolex and Omega cost so much. These brands have built their reputation over the years not only through superb marketing but through superior products.
Popular watch brands, like the ones featured in our list, use high-quality materials to create their watches. They also have leagues of scientists and engineers to make sure their watches endure through the ages.

A watch movement refers to the inner working parts of a watch that help the hands show the correct time. The movements you’ll see out there are automatic, mechanical, and quartz.
The most popular movement for luxury watches is the automatic movement. This movement works like the mechanical movement but the watch has built in mechanisms that wind the watch for you.
The mechanical watch uses the old-fashioned method. You wind the watch yourself.
The final watch movement you’ll see is the quartz watch movement. It’s an accurate way to tell time, using battery and quartz crystal to function.
The features (also known as complications) of a watch are the special tricks your watch performs. For example, telling you the date is a feature your watch can perform. Some watches have chronometers, tachymeters, time zones, and moon phases to name a few.
You can find watches made from many different materials. A few examples that companies use for luxury watches are gold, stainless steel, rubber, leather, and titanium. Sometimes even diamonds and crystals are used to make your luxury watch an ideal specimen.
