When browsing watches, it’s easy to ask: why is one watch Rs. 500,000 and another Rs. 50,000? The difference lies not only in brand name — it’s in materials, movement, craftsmanship, and long-term value.
Materials
Luxury watches use high-grade stainless steel, sapphire crystals, gold, platinum, and even ceramic. Affordable models may use mineral glass or lower-grade steel, which affect durability and scratch resistance.
Movement
Most luxury watches are mechanical or automatic, showcasing in-house movements with precision engineering. Affordable ones typically use quartz (battery-powered) movements, which are practical but less prestigious.
Craftsmanship
Luxury timepieces are often assembled by hand, with hundreds of parts, tested and adjusted to strict tolerances. Entry-level watches rely more on mass production.
Design & Heritage
With a luxury piece, you’re often paying for decades of design evolution and brand heritage. From Rolex to Omega, their legacy adds intrinsic value.
Resale Value
Luxury watches tend to hold or grow in value — especially limited editions and iconic models. Affordable watches, while functional, usually don’t appreciate in resale value.
