Finding the Right Wrist Watches for You

Antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.

Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.

Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.

Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.

In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.

Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.

Find antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches for sale on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
    Some Swiss watches are so expensive for a few reasons. First, Switzerland has long been a major center for watch manufacturing. As a result, many artisans who have spent years studying the trade live and work there, painstakingly handcrafting movements and other components for watches and completing the assembly and finishing process. All that labor increases the cost of luxury Swiss watches while also limiting the number of them produced. Since the reputation of Swiss watches is so stellar, demand for them often vastly exceeds supply, which further adds to pricing. In addition, luxury watches manufactured in Switzerland often feature costly materials, such as genuine gold, platinum and titanium. Keep in mind that not all watches made in Switzerland are luxury timepieces. Makers also craft fashion watches in the country, so prices do vary. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Swiss watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
    There are a few reasons why some watch lovers believe that Swiss watches are the best. For one thing, Switzerland is home to the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), a regulating agency that tests and certifies the chronometers in mechanical watches. Watchmakers must meet high benchmarks for precision, performance and quality to get COSC-certified. In addition, Swiss luxury watchmakers tend to favor fine materials, including sapphire glass, titanium, 18-karat gold, genuine leather and natural gemstones. The quality of the materials contributes to the visual appeal and longevity of Swiss watches. Since Switzerland is home to so many watchmakers, there are ample opportunities for would-be artisans to gain experience through apprenticeships. Thus, generation after generation, they learn time-honored crafting techniques that also account for the quality of Swiss watches. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Swiss watches.
