Luxury watches: The Ultimate Human Obsession
- October 18th, 2009Luxury watches: The Ultimate Human Obsession
Why some watches cost so much? Why people search endlessly for their dream watch? These questions have not been perhaps fully explored by human behavior scientists. The front section of the New York Times on a Sunday hosted forty watch ads. In one ad an ordinary stainless steel model is priced at $1500 and the 18 carrot gold model of the same watch cost $4950. The price of 20 grams of gold is not more than $500. How is the price hype justified? The same paper carried an ad of Mickey Mouse watch for collectors priced at $5750 of course hand-crafted. Did the eternal supporter of children, Mickey, himself handcraft the priceless watch? A Da Vinci by IWC, a masterpiece in 18K gold could be priced at $19,995. Perhaps the most expensive watch Vacheron Constantin could cost .$1,500,000.
How the pricing of watch takes place? The pricing of watch largely depends upon the legend, lore and the galore of celebrity users of the brand. Added to that, the Swiss made stamp makes a big difference. In the world of horology there are no competitors for Swiss watches. One might ask who the second great name is. Answer is that there are no second or third positions. Where is Japan placed? Far removed from the first and trying to catch up. However, the Swiss made is indeed a hallmark.
The ad slogan handcrafted adds to the price. We know that quartz is more precise than the mechanical watches. However, quartz reduces the prize; mysterious isn’t it? A hand crafted Rembrandt or Picasso we can understand, how the rule works in watch making. There is a singular delight when a person winds the keys of his Vacheron Constantin, Ulysses Nardin or Patek Philippe similar to the extraordinary experience of the proud owner of a Rolls Royce as he holds the wheels of his car. A grand experience at a great price!
