For the most part, watch collectors go through a cycle when it comes to their prized collections. They typically start off with entry-level pieces from renowned name brands. They then progress to higher-end models from those brands. At the top of their game, they start acquiring rare watches, limited editions, vintage pieces, and unusual creations from niche or independent watchmakers. Niche brands like Arnold & Son produce only 600 timepieces a year – a far cry from the purported one million tickers that roll off Rolex’s factory floor annually. The chances of an Arnold & Son wearer bumping into a fellow aficionado are therefore pretty slim. Not all watch collectors are into niche brands though. Some bemoan the lack of after-sales service or customer support.

WHY SHOULD A WATCH ENTHUSIAST … [Read more...] about Why watch aficionados should collect niche brands, according to Arnold & Son
