If you go to the website of the online store «Мир часов» http://www.mir-chasov.ks.ua/shop/raymond-weil1962/ and view the collection of products offered for sale, even by the prices you can understand what exclusive goods are offered to the buyer. The best products of world-famous Swiss brands, which are distinguished by modern original design, elegant style and guaranteed quality, are worth their money. Therefore, it is not surprising that Swiss watches are a sign of success and prosperity.
Probably, that is why caring owners treat them not just carefully – they blow dust off them. And they allow themselves to go out with them 'into society' only a few times a month – if it is necessary to impress business partners or look respectable at an important reception.
In our country, on the contrary, the culture of handling ultra-complicated watches is often ignored. True, Swiss watchmakers may be grateful to our compatriots for such carelessness. After all, the countries of the former Union have become an unofficial testing ground for watches costing over $50,000. Here, elite products are used daily and often in the most extreme conditions.
In Europe, the owner of expensive watches will never go horseback riding, play tennis, go to the banya, or especially fight in them. In our country, however, watches undergo such tests. For delicate mechanisms, this is the same as organizing off-road races in Maybachs. And then the owners wonder: why did a specimen worth several tens of thousands of dollars suddenly break.
One of the main misconceptions of buyers is precisely related to the high price of elite models. But more expensive does not mean more reliable. Especially with extreme use. Moreover, the elite are capricious even in seemingly ordinary situations. For example, when the owner of an expensive watch model drives the car himself. It turns out that the tension in the hands, imperceptible to a person, is too serious a load for the watch mechanism.
Statistics say that ultra-complicated watch models in people who drive with a chauffeur break down much less often. Therefore, those wishing to drive a car themselves are not advised to wear luxury-class watches daily. For car trips, it is better to choose a simple model in the mid-price range. If a person still needs expensive watches due to their status, then in this case it is recommended to carry out their preventive maintenance more often.
By the way, 'maintenance' of elite chronometers is necessary even if the watch is used only 20-30 days a year. Specialists recommend preventive maintenance once every five years. For those owners who only blow dust off the amazing watches, this interval is doubled.
