Would You Opt For The Real Deal Or Settle For A Replica Watch

by Cyndi Whittel

I think Madonna said it best when she said The world today is a material world. People sit on the couch to see a movie, and indirectly they are wishing to have that stuff that the artists have thanks to their big profit. So people are walking on the street and start looking at the publicity, what do they see? The answer is purely material. If someone buys a certain model cell phone, then the world says, buy another one, a better one, so then that person buys that better phone, at the next day the next model is out for sale, and he gets to listen the same thing all over again, so is really hard, its hard to get to the top.

The truth is in general, people watch their favorite celebrities on TV wearing an expensive watch. And of course he or she would want to buy one just like it. Who doen't remember when Jay Z came out wearing the brand new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or when P Diddy rocked the fully iced out diamond Jacob & Co. watch. So this is where a replica watch comes in for the average joe in order to save "Joe" money. Not to mention the convenience of buying online instead of shopping at many jewelry stores.

For many people part of being happy is to feel good about themselves, and that can sometimes change drastically for the better with one little watch. But a fake replica watch is the solution for all this persons. And most of the time its really difficult to discern if a watch is indeed a fake replica watch or if it is an original.

Most of the time its really difficult to discern if a watch is indeed a replica or if it is an original. While average Americans are able to walk down the street wearing a replica feeling good about themselves and showing off the watch to his or her friends, it would be unlikely that someone would notice the difference.

So that's one of the big advantages of replica watches. How can it make you feel so good? Is it great that people can dedicate their fashion sense to fake replica watches, or make a fake replica watch collection or to their fabrication. Now more than ever during these tough financial times, people need to feel good about themselves. A large number of people will indeed opt for a fake replica watch over the real deal.

King of Watches and Watch of Kings – Patek Philippe

by Dan P.P. Reynolds

Of all the watchmakers, the Swiss are known for the top quality watches all over the world. And while there are many brands among them, one stands out from the crowd with the most luxurious and expensive watches ever made.

Patek Philippe watches have a long history that is reaching year 1839. A Polish watchmaker Antoni Norbert Patek started making watches in Geneva with his friend Franciszek Czapek. In 1844 their ways separated and in 1845 Patek joined the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe. They've began making wristwatches and the first Patek Philippe watch has seen the light in 1868.

Patek Philippe is famous for the most expensive watches in the world. The first record was set when a single watch was auctioned for $11 million dollars in 1999. The was watch originally made for Henry Graves Jr. in 1933. The most recent record was made in April 2008, when the platinum Patek Philippe tourbillon wristwatch was sold at Hong Kong Sotheby's for $1.49 million dollars.

These watches are also known for their royal owners. Patek Philippe had a great demand among the collectors and the watches meant high social status and wealth. Since Queen Victoria's reign, these watches were owned by monarchs, popes, political leaders and rulers.

In 1989 Patek Philippe reminded the world about themselves by creating one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever made, Calibre 89. The watch holds 33 complications including the date of Easter, a thermometer, time of sunrise, equation of time and more.

These watches are the most expensive luxury watches even today where they come in modern models. They still are a sign of wealth and are owned by the elite. However, despite their price, they are available to anyone.

They are not only attractive for the collectors but for anyone who has a spare $40 thousands and wants to get a watch to show off for any occasion. No doubt, Patek Philippe is something to be proud of having, as if joining the lines of Queen Victoria and the likes.
