If you are into watches, you might often wonder - why are watches so expensive? Some of the top watch brands are admittedly very expensive. By no means does a more reasonably priced watch mean that you forfeit on the quality of it - it is totally possible to own a watch that is both a bargain and luxury.
Today we are going to delve into the reasoning behind why some watches are so expensive, and why people pay for an item that is so extortionate - are they paying for the brand name or are they really worth that overpriced price tag? Keep reading to find out more.
The Time
Some watches take some time to be created fully, from the designing process right up until the finished product. Engineers of watches take years to perfect the unique watch movement and get everything to be working properly. Designing new movements or features and making sure they are durable and run smoothly is not an easy task, which is what costs the time of the creators - their attention to detail must also be impeccable.
Bracelet designing can also take up a lot of time and for it to match the watch face is no straightforward process, it requires a lot of care, and attention and can take hours to make sure they get it right. For a timepiece to look good, hours need to be poured into it to make sure everything is done right, which is a big reason why watches can be so expensive.
Demand
Some watches are only pricey because they are in demand. An in-demand item that is continually sought after can be charged at a higher price as there will always be a customer out there that is willing to spend the money on it. Sometimes some models of watches have a 5-year waiting list to get your hands on one.
If it is the limited edition element that appeals to you when buying and owning a timepiece of your own. Then look no further as our Amavi Watch Prestige Collection hosts limited edition designs, so you can be exclusive and stand out from the crowd with something that no one else has - you are sure to have people turning heads.
Material Costs
The materials used to make up a big cost of the watch, the material cost and the skill of turning them into exquisite timepieces. Some materials can be difficult to work with, paired with the skill required to work with them and together that can tot up the total of the end product.
Hidden Costs
You have to remember it isn’t just the company that creates the watch that makes money and takes all the profits, high ticket items are not just expensive to make, they also need marketing and then distributed to retailers too. Hidden costs all help to add to the total price of the item to buy, the brand can therefore make enough profit for themselves.
These hidden costs that you do not think of first are what help to contribute to the final price, the more hidden costs the more expensive an item will be.
Is It Worth Spending Thousands?
Now that you have read about the reason for the price of some expensive watches on the market, is it really worth it? The answer depends on the individual of course, as a watch is a very personal thing.
Each individual will know if something is truly worth it to them. If you believe a watch will perfectly complement your sense of style or add a bit of something extra to your look and more importantly maybe even your confidence, then you cannot put a price on that. As long as you are happy with your watch and your purchase it does not matter how much you spend on an item, whether that be a watch or something else - it is what is personal to you!
