Watches to Add to Your Collection

Whether it’s the precision engineering, prestigious heritage or skilled craftsmanship, a classic watch tells more than the time and your collection is a story book of memories. Here we look at the timepieces that have a special place in watch collections worldwide and have really made an impact in the world of horology.

So whether you’re about to invest in your first luxury timepiece or are looking to add to an already impressive collection and wondering what coveted timepiece to choose, we’ve put together our top three watches to add to your collection.

A REVERSO from Jaeger-LeCoultre is a really interesting watch to own, which is why it’s made it into the collections of watch lovers around the world.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso

What makes the Reverso so different is its rotating case. The case swivels round to reveal an alternative dial, a space for personal engravings or a special piece of artistry. Initially designed for polo players to protect the watch face the unique trick intrigues watch-lovers from all over the world. As well as its special rotating case it's also the iconic shape of the Reverso that makes this a watch that features in so many collections. Its Art Deco aesthetic and elegant lines matched with Jaeger-LeCoultre's quintessential manual winding movement creates a style that is truly individual.

Another example of a great collectors piece, is the TAG HEUER MONACO which has made a name for itself by being the first square chronograph watch.

A truly unusual case shape for a wristwatch, the Monaco is in a league of its own and no other square watch comes close. The legendary actor Steve McQueen chose to wear the wristwatch in the iconic racing film 'Le Mans', propelling the timepiece into horology's Hall of Fame as one of the most famous motor-racing chronographs of all time. Completed with a blue chronograph dial, black calfskin strap and legendary TAG Heuer movement the Monaco is much loved by watch collectors and watch-wearers alike who are intrigued by the unconventional style.

For your own slice of history a Pre-Owned watch is a great way to continue the legacy of a legendary luxury timepiece.

Rolex Submariner

One of the most well-known watch brands, Rolex are aspirational for many collectors. One model that has become a mascot for the luxury brand is their Submariner. First released in 1953 there has been a number of re-iterations of the model over the years and we're lucky enough to host some of these models in our Pre-Owned Collection. Taking it back to basics a ROLEX SUBMARINER is simply a really good-looking watch with incredibly high performance. Its robust and functional design complete with a distinctive dial and bold hour markers it is a piece craved by many and certainly one that every collector should have.
