A Time of Magic

When most people think of a “good watch” their first thoughts are generally centred around Rolex but that’s not always the best choice.

Rolex are certainly a good brand alright but they’re very much chunky watches. If you’re looking for something more elegant Patek Calatrava are the way to go. They’re no less rugged but don’t look it. Although it’s more of an elegant range than Rolex, prices start around the same level (around the $5000 mark gives you a good selection) but then head off into the stratosphere with prices going into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

OK, the top end will be more expensive than a normal watch as there’s a lot of gold and precious stones involved, but why at the low end? Basically because of the quality. These aren’t battery powered quartz watches but instead use proper clockwork mechanisms and built to last you a lifetime too.
