They are made using precious metals, such as gold, silver, and platinum, and ornamented with jewels like rubies and diamonds. They are worn on the wrist to add a sophisticated and elegant look to people’s style and personality. As they are exclusive, expensive, and not mass-produced, they can easily be differentiated from their affordable counterparts on account of their durability and uniqueness. At present, improving living standards and inflating disposable incomes are driving the demand for luxury watches around the world.
