Many watch lovers ask themselves before buying a new timepiece: Which piece should be my Good-To-Go model? And with good reason, because if you want to buy a new favorite piece, you should think very carefully about which model to choose. After all, the Dresswatch should accompany him reliably in all daily challenges, make something visually appealing, emphasise every outfit possible and yet be something special at the same time. Not an easy task to make the right individual choice here, but in any case feasible. We help you to your watch match!

 

The Brand

The perfect Dresswatch is always a matter of individual wishes and ideas. Thus a wristwatch always reflects something of the personality of the wearer. Every company relies on special features and functions for its watches, so that the models have recognition value and personality and also meet the various needs of watch fans. In most cases, however, a brand alone cannot fulfil the entire range of possible wishes of watch lovers, as it has no chance of closing its own gap in the market and would also have to carry a huge assortment. That’s why you should be as clear as possible about the characteristics that are important to you on your new Dresswatch before you buy it. Where are you willing to compromise and what could you never do without in your new favorite piece? With this general information, the first step has already been taken: you can exclude some brands and concentrate on a closer selection. You find it difficult to commit yourself to special characteristics? Some watches on the market, such as the popular Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver and IWC Portofino, are extremely versatile and also available in countless different versions to suit personal tastes. No matter which colour combination, functions, special features and materials you need – you will definitely find them with us. We are also happy to help you choose the perfect watch!

The Design

In addition to the specific brand range, the appearance of the new wristwatch naturally plays a central role. After all, a timepiece has long since ceased to be a purely functional investment, but also always a fashionable accessory. Whether sporty, classically elegant or extravagant – nowadays a suitable selection is offered for every style. If you are unsure here, ask yourself the question: How do I dress in my typical everyday life? How do I feel most comfortable? In order for your new favourite watch to complete your own style, you first need to know it, of course. You always rely on proven elegant pieces and do not believe in daring fashion experiments? Then you should have a look at the Rolex classic Cellini. The collection of the perfectionist Swiss impresses with tasteful timepieces in a traditional look. The timeless model in Time, Date, Dual Date and Moonphase not only offers a large selection here, but can also be selected in various muted shades according to your individual wishes based on the material and dial design. If the look of your Dresswatch is particularly important to you, you are guaranteed to make the right choice with a chic Rolex Cellini!

You have a hard time choosing between a classic and a sporty design? Take the Tudor Heritage Black Bay in your sights: the classic stainless steel watch comes with an additional textile strap in a matching colour in addition to the traditional leather or stainless steel strap. The bordeaux red number plate is also a real eye-catcher. Depending on the mood, a particularly elegant or sporty look can be achieved here. This leaves nothing to be desired! The puristic Nomos Tangomat GMT is worth considering for all those who like it even more discreetly. Here, clear lines and contrasts are set and any superfluous bells and whistles are deliberately dispensed with. The modern design is unique and despite its simplicity a real eye-catcher!

The Functions

The last criterion to consider when selecting your new timepiece is the type and scope of functions of the watch model. This is particularly important, as the watch should also be of practical use to you. If you have already been able to sort out some brands and individual models from the others, you now need to take a closer look at the remaining pieces. What are the different functions? Which are useful in your own everyday life? And what would be your personal icing on the cake for a wristwatch in addition to the absolutely necessary features? If digital networking with your watch is important to you, the extravagant TAG Heuer Connected mentioned above is an ideal investment. Get all the information you need on the go without having to take your phone out of your pocket. Whether translator, news, music or app control – benefit from the many possibilities of your new accessory! A new world of technology united in your luxurious piece of jewellery! You travel a lot? The above mentioned Nomos Tangomat GMT has a special world time mechanism. Airport codes indicate the different time zones. So you always know what time it is in other places in the world and are equipped for any challenge – no matter what time zone you are in.

This is the only way to make the right choice for a watch that you can enjoy for a long time!

During my school days I worked in the warehouse of an auction house and that was when I first came into contact with exclusive, mechanical watches. The fascination was born from that moment and has not let go of me to this day. So it was clear to me very early on that I wanted to learn more about the history and price development of watches - and of course I wanted to own an automatic watch at some point. (My absolute dream, unfortunately far away, was a Rolex GMT Master with the blue and red Pepsi bezel). During my studies, I took my first steps in trading used watches via various online marketplaces and was then able to afford a used Breitling Colt.
