Watch Collecting Is Also a Mindset

 　   Today, watches are no longer the exclusive preserve of high society; anyone can own and wear one. However, collecting watches requires taste, an appreciation for art, and life experience, along with cultural depth and financial foundations. Otherwise, nouveau-riche individuals often fail to complement the prestigious timepieces on their wrists.

　　I remember one year when I went to Beijing, I joined a local day tour on the side. The itinerary covered the Tiananmen flag-raising ceremony —— the Shuiguan Great Wall —— the Ming Tombs —— local specialty souvenir shops and jade shops. Leaving aside how the tour guide brought disrepute to Beijing locals, let us talk about that shop selling jade.

　　As soon as we walked in, the assistant told us that their boss was coming by for a spot check, and shortly afterwards a middle-aged man calling himself Mr Wang walked in. At first glance, his outfit and attire: an Hermès belt,Rolex Datejust gold watch, claiming to be a wealthy second-generation heir doing business in Hong Kong, started chatting with us the moment he stepped through the door, saying he just wanted to make friends rather than talk business. Since I know a bit about watches, I took a closer look at the timepiece on his wrist and found it to be a replica, though his other accompanying friends couldn't tell and all assumed he was a big boss.

　　Next, this Mr Wang went on to talk about jade with a very serious air, and in the end, to help drum up some atmosphere and popularity, he even sold a few pieces of jade. I also know a thing or two about jade; the pieces displayed in this shop are generally not genuine jade, and even if they are Grade A, they are low-grade pieces with a cement-like background, commonly known as dog-shit background, having poor translucency and naturally unattractive colour. I thought to myself that this boss certainly has a few tricks and methods up his sleeve for catching people out.

　　It is not difficult to see from this so-called “ wealthy second-generation heir ” that, in the eyes of strangers, whether a person is trustworthy or not is still heavily influenced by a watch. However, people who do not understand watches all know that Rolex is a symbol of wealth and status. In fact, Rolex has made a name for itself through first-class quality combined with a understated exterior, as well as exquisite details and perfection. A watch is not a car, and appreciating watches is about enjoying taste and aristocratic spirit, as well as a state of mind. Whether it is a luxury watch,Replica watchthis remains the same. We should pay more attention to its movement functions and artistic value.
