Why Do So Many Successful People Collect Watches?

Look at any successful person’s wrist, and you’re sure to find a piece from their watch collection. Brands like Rolex, Cartier, and Van Cleef & Arpels have been associated with wealth, power, and influence for generations and continue to be iconic lifestyle staples to this day. 

When we’re living in an era where you can tell time with your phone, why do successful people continue to collect watches? There are a few reasons behind this, and if you share that mindset, you may also be looking to start a watch collection of your own or add a quality piece to your existing lineup. 

Craftsmanship 

Watches feature small, intricate moving parts that require specialized hands to build and repair. The amount of care involved in creating a single piece is an artwork unto itself that cannot be compared to anything else. 

If you’re someone that appreciates the fine details, watches may speak to your interests. They do not just tell time, they represent a passion for precision that is as unique as the person wearing one. 

Timeless Style 

Even though many of us today rely on the phones in our pockets to tell time, watches have never been threatened by their digital counterparts. In addition to impeccable precision, watches also just simply look incredible. Whether you’re someone that wants to catch eyes with a quality iced-out piece or you prefer the understated elegance of sleek metal, there’s no limit to the ways you can enhance your style for the day. 

Business Mindset

Time and money are synonymous in the business world. There’s a cost to every second, and how you use your time when you’re on your grind makes a massive difference in the outcome. 

Successful business leaders value timeliness and punctuality because they understand that few seconds of the day can go to waste. Wearing a quality watch shows that you’re about your hustle and the few seconds to take your phone out of your pocket to check the time aren’t worth it when there are more important tasks to be completed. 

Introducing the Next Watch for Your Collection: The Alpha GLD Era

The exclusive GLD Alpha Era watches are designed with casual luxury in mind. When you wear one on your wrist, you’ll always look your freshest with a design and finish that complements your sense of style.  

Our Alpha Era watches are some of the fastest-growing products in our line. Why? Here are a few reasons: 

Sweeping Movement

A sweeping movement is defined by a smooth, continuous, and fluid motion. Rather than ticking or jerking, the second hand smoothly sweeps around the dial, making it appear to glide effortlessly. 

Many people find the sweeping motion of a watch's second hand to be more aesthetically pleasing than a ticking sound, and it can also be less annoying in quiet settings.  This type of movement is also less likely to experience wear and tear over time, making it a good choice for those who want their watch to last. 

Hand-Set Stones

Watches are defined by precise craftsmanship. That is why we use hand-set stones for the Alpha Era for the same quality and attention to detail you expect out of a premium timepiece. 

Whether you prefer large baguette stones, a touch of ice in key places, or a fully iced watch that even covers the face, you can find one that suits your style. Each one receives the same level of care and attention for a consistently fresh result each time. 

Premium Metals

Ever see how cheap, low-quality metals can corrode, tarnish, or even turn parts of your skin green? No thanks. 

We source the finest quality gold and surgical-grade steel that will last and keep their sheen for as long as you keep hustling. If you are someone that appreciates the smooth, sleek, and classic shine of premium metals, check out our Alpha Era Gold. 

Patented Design

Watches are often imitated, but cheap copies can never duplicate the quality of an original. We back our watches with a signature patented design so that you know anything that we produce is 100% authentic to our brand and our values.
