What is the best first luxury watch? | A MATTER OF TIME EP 01

The inaugural episode of the A Matter of Time podcast asks the question: What is the best first luxury watch? Eleonor, Kristian, and Andrew recount their first luxury watch experience, reflecting on how these watches sparked a lifelong passion. They also discuss current trends in watch collecting, such as the rise of microbrands, the impact of the pandemic on the industry, and how market speculation contrasts with their own emotional approach to watch ownership.

After sharing their personal first watches, each host then nominates the "best first luxury watch for newcomers." Andrew advocates for the Tudor Black Bay 54 for its value and versatility, Eleanor favours independent brands like Louis Erard for their craftsmanship and exclusivity, and Kristian suggests neo-vintage/vintage models like the Omega Seamaster 300 for their cultural cachet and affordability.

What do you think is the best choice for a first luxury watch? Let us know in the comments.
