Luxury watches have been coveted by men and women since the 19th century. From the traditional men's pocket watch to the delicately designed female timepiece, watches have complemented the individual's attire and helped people keep their appointments for decades. Luxury watches are often hand constructed over several months in an Atelier, where watchmakers often design and assemble the masterful creations.

Luxury timepieces are made of the finest metals such as platinum or gold with diamond accents. Titanium is another common material used in luxury watches. Leather bands and other pricey gemstones give the watches their unique and luxury feel. Luxury watches are not usually found under $900 in price except on a sale.

Rolex, Pigot and Gucci are common luxury watch brands that many consumers covet. Cartier, Harry Winston, Versace and Christian Dior also provide a line of luxury watches that often adorn the wrists of celebrities and other wealthy individuals.

When shopping for luxury watches, some unfamiliar terminology may be used. The terms either describe the style or the functionality of the watch. The bezel is the ring that surrounds the watch dial. The bezel may be embellished with diamonds or other patterns for extra appeal. The cabochon refers to a decorative stone that may be set in the watch crown. Both guilloche and mother-of-pearl describe the appearance of a portion of the watch. Guilloche is an engraving that is interwoven into a pattern. Mother-of-pearl is the multi-colored shell used on the watch dial. Luminova glows in the dark and is often used on the watch dial in diving watches.

Tourbillon marks a significant development in the luxury watch world. This consists of a regulating mechanism and a lever escapement that makes one revolution in a single minute. The new technology eliminates the effects of gravity and friction. Balance describes the watch's movement. This mechanism is responsible for the oscillation of a component that moves the wheel one click, which indicates one eighth of a second. The escapement converts the rotary motion into balance.

On the face of some luxury timepieces, consumers may find a small opening or aperture. An aperture typically displays the watches inner movements or the current date. If the watch is a perpetual time piece, it will automatically adjust to the correct time and year. An automatic watch does not require manual interference for the watch to operate. When the battery is near the "End of Life (EOL)," the second hand, if one is present will jitter every four seconds. A repeater will indicate the hours with a note or tone. The rattrapante describes the "fly-back hand" of a chronograph. The "fly-back" hand can be stopped or returned to a zero setting by the user.

Many Cartier watches feature mother-of-pearl watch faces and are water resistant up to 30 meters. Sapphire crystal aids in water resistance and durability of the time piece.
