FAQ

Q: Is Baume & Mercier a luxury brand?

Yes, Baume & Mercier is considered a luxury watch brand. Established in 1830, the Swiss brand is known for its elegant, high-quality timepieces that offer a balance between refined design and precision craftsmanship. Although Baume & Mercier is positioned as a more accessible luxury brand compared to others like Rolex or Patek Philippe, it maintains its place in the luxury market through Swiss-made movements and a strong heritage of watchmaking.

Q: Is it Bulgari or Bvlgari?

The correct name is Bulgari, but the brand uses the ancient Roman alphabet where the letter "V" was used instead of "U," hence the spelling Bvlgari on its logo. Both versions refer to the same luxury brand, and "Bulgari" is the accepted pronunciation.

Q: What is the #1 watch in the world?

The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 6300A-010 is often considered the #1 watch in the world due to its extraordinary complexity and record-breaking price at auction. However, in terms of global recognition and prestige, the Rolex Daytona and Patek Philippe Nautilus are also contenders for being the most sought-after and iconic watches in the world.

Q: Do IWC keep their value?

IWC watches generally hold their value well, particularly models from popular collections such as the Big Pilot, Portugieser, and Pilot’s Watches. While they may not always appreciate like some Rolex models, limited editions or historically significant pieces can command strong resale prices. The resale value of an IWC watch depends on factors like model rarity, condition, and market demand.

Q: What is the most iconic Piaget watch?

One of the most iconic Piaget watches is the Piaget Altiplano, renowned for its ultra-thin design. The Altiplano collection has set numerous records for the thinnest mechanical watches in the world. Its minimalist yet sophisticated design embodies Piaget’s commitment to elegance and technical innovation, making it a symbol of the brand’s horological excellence.
