Limited edition watches are made by
manufacturers who want to commemorate a partnership or celebrate a certain
event. In some cases, they use limited edition collection to simply reinvent an
already existing watch.
The entire concept gives a certain
exclusivity, which is something watch collectors know how to appreciate. Every
person who is looking to have a watch of specific value is going to be
interested in these types of watches.
Collectors have a lot of choices
nowadays! Many watch brands regularly release limited
edition watches as seen at Haute Time.
Luxury brands like TAG Heuer, Bvlgari, Cartier, Movado and Omega Watches are
only some of the brands that manufacture special edition watches.
For example, companies like Omega have a
lot of reasons to create limited edition watches. They are an official Olympics
time keeper and their watch was on the Moon. If you remember, there was a
limited edition of watches with various styles, celebrating the landing on the
Moon anniversary.
Another good example is Bvlgari and their
Diagono watch. The style of this watch doesn't need updating but Bvlgari had
something else in mind. They branded their classic Diagono watch with FIFA.
Soccer fanatics were more than interested to wear this watch, hence it became a
very sought for model. The fact that it was limited edition only made it a lot
more valuable.
TAG Heuer is a company that often
partners up with high-class car manufacturers - Porsche and Mercedes-Benz for
example. Naturally, TAG Heuer came up with many special edition watches that
were pure luxury. Powerful looking watches with Mercedes-Benz name and its
emblem are really sought after and are considered to be quite expensive.
Movado made a lot of special edition
pieces during its existence. This brand is focused on producing limited edition
watches with artists or to celebrate some kind of anniversary. Being a very old
company, Movado had the chance to make a lot of these watches. One of them is
Movado M125 - a special edition watch made to celebrate the company's 125th
birthday. It has a specific signature that varies a bit from the classic Movado
signature.
Limited Editions mark a lot of different
things. Marking a special occasion is the usual reason to produce a limited
edition watch, and these models are 10 times pricier, designed with additional
logo, and are made with precious metals, and generally tailored for a select
group of people.
If you are a watch collector or are just
generally very interested in wrist watches, I'm sure you will find a very
interesting and valuable watch that you will be able to relate to. Many
companies promote their association with something or someone who is not
directly related to watches, so you can wear a watch that celebrates the brand
of the car you are driving, a person you admire to or an organization you
promote or might be working in.
