A watch is a very personal item, which is why when it comes to choosing a luxury watch people tend to carefully consider their options. People weigh down their options by different criteria, such as personal taste, price, lifestyle etc., and therefore a watch can often be a reliable source of information about that person's personality. Let's take a look at what nine luxury watch brands say about their owners!
Panerai
The men who go for Panerai watches are most likely grown-up hipster boys, who used to roam around the big city on their skateboards doing all sorts of tricks (some of them perhaps still do). The Panerai wearer has a relatively creative job in PR or Marketing and lives for the weekend, which he spends exploring the world’s urban scenery. His apartment (or loft), where he spends his time listening to his favourite vinyls, has a minimalistic design and a lot of space.
Hublot
We hate to break it to you, but Hublot is the watch you would usually see on a middle aged man with a large bank account, thin hair, and most likely wearing a polo shirt and moccasins, while playing golf on a Wednesday. They have made it past the time when they have to work on a daily basis and now enjoy their consciously designed posh lifestyle. There is another alternative, however, to a man wearing a Hublot wristwatch - the young, rich and wild party monster. You will spot him at the fanciest parties in town, pouring champagne in the glasses of the prettiest lady at the event.
IWC Schaffhausen
IWC Schaffhausen watch is the ultimate ‘nice guy’ timepiece. He is a family man, but still caries an adventurous spirit. An IWC watch man has outdoor hobbies, such as hiking and diving
Rolex
A man who has a Rolex watch on his wrist has done well in life. He is at a point when he can afford to spend his money on expensive things, such as a nice car, luxury holidays, fancy clothes and, of course, a good watch. The man with a Rolex knows that he cannot make a mistake by choosing this brand. He finds it important that he knows what he is getting when he decides to invest in a timepiece. Moreover, his watch has to be suitable for many occasions, from business meetings to family vacations.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
A man who wears a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is definitely one who values quality, technical precision and traditions. His choice of a timepiece was carefully considered and the Jaeger-LeCoultre on his wrist isn’t random in any way. This man’s attention to quality and detail does not affect only his choice of watch, but it spreads through his entire lifestyle - from his clothes, car, apartment to his food preferences. He is accomplished, but not posh; classy, but easygoing.
Patek Philippe
You most certainly would not see just any man wearing a Patek Philippe watch. The man who can afford a watch of this calibre is someone who takes himself and his time seriously and wants others to see him this way as well. You can probably see him in a big expensive car or a classy oldtimer (or both). He has a serious job with, a high income and a fixed daily routine, which he enjoys to follow. However, he can be very pleasant company and has a sense of humour as well.
TAG Heuer
If you see a man with a TAG Heuer watch you should know one thing for sure - he is most likely an adrenaline junkie. That’s right, that man would do anything to push his limits, that’s in fact what keeps him going. He likes comfy, but not trashy in any way, clothes and likes watching extreme sports competitions. He wants a good watch that is resistant to his dynamic lifestyle, but the price plays an important role for him as well.
Richard Mille
A man with a Richard Mille watch is a true free spirit. He is unpredictable, stylish and enchanting. Whatever he does, he does it in his own way and nothing could stop him. This is why he would sometimes seem too spontaneous and even eccentric to people, but he wouldn’t care, he would just keep doing what he’s doing.
Breitling
The man wearing a Breitling wristwatch has a mind oriented towards business and he realised that at an early age. When he was in school he had probably found a way to make some extra cash by selling something like T-shirts with prints. Straight out of high-school or college he created his first company, which has something to do with electronics, cars or sports. When it comes to his personality, he is loud, open and perhaps a little dominant at times. He likes simple food classics, such as pasta, burgers and fries, and pizza. He enjoys evenings with his friends watching a football game or an action movie.
