Our selection of luxury vintage watches for men and women
Why choose a vintage luxury watch?
Much more than just a practical accessory, the vintage watch is a truly aesthetic accessory, a valuable object that is unparalleled in enhancing an outfit. It possesses qualities that make it a must-have for lovers of beautiful pre-loved objects.
We're not talking about damaged, scratched, or worn watches, but rather pre-owned watches whose impeccable condition is unquestionable even if they have lived. These designer vintage watches have a story to tell, whether it's the brand, the era to which they belong, the specific model... And all of this continues to endure today.
These are also watches that never go out of style, on the contrary: they increase in value and continue to adapt perfectly to today's outfits. Round, square, rectangular, octagonal, fancy luxury watches, steel watches, gold watches... In vintage, there are all styles from decades. There is bound to be the style you love.
Which vintage luxury watch should you choose?
A watch is chosen according to the tastes and personality of the person who will wear it. There are different styles: a sleek watch with fine profiles, a more sober watch, a more imposing watch on the wrist... All luxury vintage watch models are there to meet all the requirements of their owner.
You can opt for iconic models like the Rolex Submariner watch (the brand's first waterproof watch), the Omega Speedmaster (the first watch ever worn on the moon), the Tank collection by Cartier, the Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre... Their vintage version brings an additional, unrivaled charm.
Also keep in mind that there are different types of watches. Do you prefer a mechanical watch, which you wind yourself once a day, or an automatic one for greater comfort? Or a quartz watch, which runs on batteries? It all depends on your preference and needs.
A quartz watch is ideal if you want a watch with unbeatable precision that is more resistant to the shocks and vibrations caused by everyday life. They are also more affordable and thinner than mechanical watches.
But mechanical watches are not left behind: the movement of the hands is smoother, you do not need batteries and they are more durable than quartz watches, because their lifespan is infinite provided you take care of them.
How to wear a luxury vintage watch?
Chronograph watch, diver's watch, aviator watch, classic watch... Each style has its own type of watch.
More "sporty" or diving watches are not designed to be worn with a suit or more formal attire, as they are bulky and your shirt sleeve will have difficulty getting over them. Wear them preferably with a more casual, everyday outfit. Thinner watches, with a clean dial and simplified functions, pair wonderfully with your entire wardrobe thanks to their discreet side, especially with a tuxedo.
Not sure which wrist to wear your watch on? This question is a perennial debate, but we recommend wearing it on your non-dominant wrist: left if you're right-handed, right if you're left-handed. But the important thing is that it's comfortable.
