Timepieces have become the most prominent fashion accessory, for both men and women, since the fifteenth century when they first appeared...
We used to have mechanical, automatic, quartz and digital watches, and now, in line with the progress and development of technology, we also have smart ones, which are supposed to make our lives even easier.
Timepieces have become widely popular during the seventeenth century, and we have to admit that they have gone through a long developmental path to become what they are now, that is, elements of style that in an unusual way combine fashion and functionality. Initially, there was only a pocket watch, but after the First World War, everyone accepted hand variants. Since then, the wristwatch has become to be an object that is loved by people all over the world.
Although mobile phones today are much more than what they used to be and can easily replace your watches, they still manage to resist trends and defeat, and in the long run, will long be part of the essential accessories of all fashion conscious men and women. They also advanced in relation to their ancestors, combining technology with watchmaking tradition and excellence.
Smart watches are beautiful and often expensive, because they offer their users much more than the time display. These are small computers that you carry on your wrist that have GPS, portable media players, thermometers, and speedometers, gauges of height and pressure, compasses, fitness trackers, as well as notifications of incoming messages or missed calls.
As they also come decorated with gold and diamonds, representing at the same time a stylish statement of the one wearing it, we decided to present you the 10 most expensive models.
