Original Watch ArticlesPublished
There is an old saying in the East: "The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, fools compare mobile phones, and idiots vie over computers." An ordinary family car is generally worth at least 10 ten thousand, whereas a watch can be cheap, costing only tens or hundreds. Then why on earth say the poor play with cars and the rich play with watches? You might argue that cars refer to bicycles—the kind you pedal away on—and watches refer to world-famous watches, the Swiss-made kind

  Did you know that in the past, a bicycle was also a major asset! Back then, a single bicycle cost the equivalent of half a year's salary for an ordinary person! Even if you saved enough and didn't starve, you might not be able to buy one because you also needed a rationing ticket.

  Cars today may not be totally out of reach, but they are certainly not that cheap either. Moreover, if you live in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, have you managed to win a license plate lottery yet? A car can drive you to work, take you out to impress women, run errands, or haul things. But besides telling the time, a watch is primarily a decorative accessory, and even the most precise watch is still less accurate than a mobile phone!

  In other words, the more practical the item you buy, the less elite you are. When you are criticising the wealthy friends on your social feed for showing off their newly bought luxury car worth 100 ten thousand, your wealthy friend might be rolling their eyes at you thinking, "Ha, I am showing off my watch worth 200 ten thousand."

  A car is a consumable, whereas a watch is a work of art. For the same outlay, a watch holds better investment value. Buying a car doesn't necessarily make you wealthy and successful; you might just be a private hire driver. Collectingreplica watchCollecting watches is about taste, while cars are about lifestyle. Regularly spending money that you do not strictly need to spend shows that you are leisurely, which is the hallmark of the upper class and what you should be doing.
