It's time to learn the fine art of watch appreciation

A PIECE OF JOY

SOME 100 business leaders turned up for the BT Luxe Night at the Lexus showroom on Thursday and learnt more about the fine art of watch appreciation.

 

"The art of collecting watches: of passion, complications, more complications and chasing the wind" was the theme taken by well-known watch expert Peter Chong.

 

He said that a fine timepiece essentially reflects the history and tradition of the house. Then come the precious materials used, the manufacture, finishing, complication and rarity.

 

When it comes to making a purchase, his advice is to buy what you like but not immediately. One should visit the shop, look at the selection and try the pieces on. Then focus on two or three that you like. Go home and come back the following week to buy the one that captures your imagination.

 

A watch is not essential for us to tell the time. It remains an item of luxury, to remind one to take time to enjoy the beauty of craftsmanship, he said.

 

It is also one of the few pieces of jewellery a gentleman can wear without drawing undue attention. Wear a watch because it brings one joy and pleasure to have a piece of fine work on one's wrist.

 

While fine timepieces can make good investments, one should also choose carefully because a wrong choice can result in sharp losses. It is also a non-liquid asset as rare items require rare collectors. Like everything else, getting in and out at the right time is very important.

 

William Choo, commercial director, Lexus Singapore, said: "We are very pleased to be able to extend our Lexus style of bespoke hospitality in treating all our customers, as we would a guest in our home, to all the BT CEOs present at tonight's event".

 

Guests also had the rare opportunity for a up-close look at the award-winning Lexus LF-LC concept coup
