My Gold WatchSamuel takes owning a gold watch to the next level!

White Gold Rolex Watch

For so many of us a gold watch is a status symbol.  I mean, so very many of the best designer watches are crafted in gold with the precision of Swiss quartz movements. The higher we climb on the corporate ladder, the more expensive those gold watches become.  If you are anyone who knows anything at all about success then you surely sport a Rolex gold watch.   But for me a gold watch is memories.

When I was little my father used to come home from work and pull his pocket watch out of his pocket and ask “What time is it?”  And being his precious little girl, his only little girl I might add, I would proudly exclaim, “Time for a kiss.”  He would gather me in his arms and give me a twirl and a great big kiss on the cheek.   Then he would unclip his watch fob and let me dangle his gold watch and say “Watch the watch, watch the watch.”  I would giggle, he would laugh and that was our nightly ritual.

I don’t know where the time went, that kind of time can’t be measured by Swiss gold watches, but it surely passed and I grew too big to be twirled and tousled. Somewhere in the back of my head I still equate his lovely gold watch with love and safety.  Nothing is safer than being held in the strong arms of a loving father.

Now, so very many years later my grandchildren want to buy me a special present and all I can think of is one of those lovely gold watches.  They ask me if I want a Cartier rose gold watch or a Tissot gold watch bracelet.  Perhaps I would like a Rolex ladies diamond watch.  And I tell them that any watch at all, any gold watch is what I want.  It doesn’t have to be a luxury gold watch.  I don’t need one of the best designer watches.  I only need a lovely gold watch that will whisper stories of love each and every time I glance at it, knowing that it was a gift of love from them to me.

If you are looking to give someone you love a gift to remember you by, give them a watch.  We all need to check the time occasionally and when they do they will see the gift that you gave them in love.  A gold watch is more than a piece of jewelry, even if it’s a fine piece, one of the best designer watches…  A watch will be looked at so many times throughout the day and it will be a constant reminder of someone who loves them so very much.  By giving them a gold watch you are giving them golden memories.

Longines Gold Watch

For so long now, you have been buying your wristwatches at the jewelry counter of your local department store.  They do not cost a whole lot so when they break or stop running, as they invariably do within a short period of time, you throw them out and go back again for another $20 special.  Do yourself a favor.  Stop throwing good money after bad.  Buy yourself a good gold watch and be done with it!

Of course a quality gold watch can run into quite a bit of money but look at what you’re getting.  Think of it as an investment of sorts.  The price of gold might fluctuate from time to time but it always continues to rise after it levels off or drops a slight bit.  Then, the “works” inside it are far superior to its department store counterpart.  Consider Swiss gold watches.  The Swiss have long been renowned clock makers.  Their precision and innovative designs are equaled by none.  If you are looking for a fine time piece manufactured by a company with a name try Tissot gold watches.  They have been in business for over a century and a half.  Rado gold watches are also quite fashionable at the moment.  This company carries a spectacular line of large, stylish luxury gold watches for men.

Gold diamond watches are stunning on men as well as women.  A man’s wristwatch may have diamonds around the face and a large gold expandable band.  For women, a gold watch bracelet embellished with diamonds and other precious stones is a piece to be envied.  These watches may cost many thousands of dollars but they are worth every penny of expense.  Not only are they high end designer pieces, but the craftsmanship will speak for itself.  Again, as in gold, the price of diamonds continues to rise.  The valuation will continue to grow as well.

If you are shopping online or at some vendor other than a reputable jewelry store be very careful that you are buying real gold and a real name brand.  In recent years many “knock-offs” have come to light and unsuspecting consumers have been robbed of quite a bit of money.  Before you buy that gold watch make sure it really is gold and not gold plate.   As for high end designer watches, if you are in doubt you could always contact the company itself.  Usually a piece of that caliber has some authentication device or serial number you can reference.

A luxury gold watch is a treasure to behold.  It can serve you for years to come and its beauty will withstand the test of time.  Whether for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, you can’t go wrong with a gold watch.
