When watch hunting, I wanted something that I could be proud to wear on my wrist. Raymond Weil watches are particularly classy and fall into the upper watch eschelon along with Longines mens watches and Baume & Mercier watches. I recently visited their site to see which of the Weil watches are for me. I narrowed it down by shape first.
Although the barrel or square shape can be attractive for formal occasions, I prefer the round style because of its versatility. But I do want something with an elegant lean, something that isn’t sporty – so I chose a classic steel band. I can’t afford diamonds and as for the movement, I like the idea of never having to replace a battery, so I chose automatic. I also wanted more than just the time – a stopwatch and alarm, for example, so automatic chronograph was the cut.
Nothing says classic like steel, and so I chose the Nabucco style. Swiss watches are consistently manufactured and have the reputation of being some of the nicest watches on the market. I can’t wait for my new watch to come in the mail; it’s so much more dignified than checking the time on my phone.
