A simple praise for vintage watches.

Vintage watches provide a lot of allure for little money. Of course a little amount of money is relative, but consider that the average new luxury watch purchase is somewhere between 5k to 10k. This is mostly for simple time and date only stainless steel watches, a lot of the time lacking any character or uniqueness. There is something for everyone in the vintage selection. With this post I simply wish to convey my admiration for vintage watches. There have been plenty of articles written about their appeal, but simply the following is why I like them and you can decide for yourself if you do too.
The best thing about vintage watches, hands down is their price point. You can get watches for a few hundred dollars all the way up in to the hundreds of thousands and they will all be worth their true amount. There are no marketing dollars behind them, they have already experienced either their depreciation or appreciation and simply represent fashionable function with a touch of craftsmanship and heritage built right in. I do not look at vintage watches as assets or investments. I do not buy them with concern for their value. This allows myself and many other fans of vintage pieces to procure a more enjoyable timepiece. You might ask, how this is possible. Imagine if you could purchase or have anything based simply on your desire to have it. What would you choose, the possibilities are endless? Most likely you will end up with whatever makes you most happy. This is how the world of vintage works. Buy first on looks and quality. I do not get hung up on name brands or making sure that the watch is in perfect original mint condition as I would with a new watch. This allows me to be free of any cachet attached to the watch.
Another thing that I truly enjoy about vintage watches is that most likely you will never see the same watch in the wild as yours. This uniqueness makes the watch even more special to me. Most people consider vintage watches to be those made between the 40s and 70s. This opens up a truly original time of design. Watch companies were producing some of the coolest pieces that they have ever produced during these times. More toward the 40s and 50s you could get watches that were fairly simple, but that might have huge tear drop lugs like the back wings on a Cadillac of similar times. If like me you are a classicist, focus on the late 50s and 60s. Most of the pieces are very conservative and simply well made. If you are a bit more adventurous consider the 70s, designs of the time were near alien like. No matter which you choose including those made before and after the ages above, I can assure you that the watches will age in a more graceful manner than we will.
For whatever your reason or lifestyle, I encourage you to pick up a vintage piece. They are still popular because they look fresh and have been designed to last many lifetimes with occasional servicing. I feel that my vintage Omega is one of my most versatile pieces. I feel just as at home on the golf course with it as I do in a formal suit or bumming around the house. It was my second least expensive purchase and probably receives the most compliments. The freedom and enjoyment that comes with a vintage piece is not able to be bought new. Like a fine wine or friendship, vintage watches become better with age.
Probably one of coolest reasons in my opinion to own a vintage watch is because you must go on the hunt for them. You don’t go down to the mall and stand in line with all the kids waiting for a Justin Bieber autograph session or the newest iphone release. You must take part on a journey. Vintage watches are found in small boutiques, hidden gems of a city. They are found at the bottom of random boxes at antique shows and flea markets. If you are lucky, they can be found on the wrist of an elder relative. Some vintage watches might also come engraved with a date or name that might possibly tell of another journey it had in a previous life. Because you never know where or when you will find one, I like vintage most for this reason. A few recommendations worth going on a journey for would be anything from the houses of Omega, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Longines, and IWC. If you are a cold blooded American, Hamilton might warm you up a bit.
