Because it’s entirely a matter of size…

…with watches. Honestly? I wasn’t a huge fan of wrist watches until I saw

my first Breitling. I instantly fell in love and for the last few years it has been a real matter in my life. The bigger, the better is my motto, why? I'll tell you later. ( picture: a Breitling, ~ $ 5,000.00)

A few friends of mine don’t understand my appreciation of watches, maybe because they don’t feel it.
A Breitling for example makes me think of Aviators. It used to be the watch of choice for the U.S. Military and while I am not a big fan of the U.S. Military, I like pretty-pictures-accompanied-by-cool-music-with-a-nice-ending-stories as ‘Top Gun’ and the image of strength and power they resemble. It’s an elite-watch and gives me goose-bumps. Well – the male watches do. I am not a female-watch-type. I like them big and even if my mom says: “They are going to be ‘out’ in a few years” I don’t care and dream of one of them on my wrist.

But watches aren’t only pretty cool and status-symbols, they’re also capital assets in which you can put your ‘spare money’. In cases of Breitling, Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Phillipe, Baume Marcier, Cartier and TAG Heuer – most of these are produced in Switzerland.

a Rolex (~ $ 8,000.00)

a Jaeger-LeCoultre (~ $ 10,000.00, probably more)

TIP: If you’re not one of those small-wristed-size-zero-girls buy a big watch – it makes your wrist and arm look more slender. ;)
