Watches are not just timepieces to help track time, but also cherished accessories that complement attires and show a person’s taste. Most watches in the market are inexpensive and medium-priced, used mainly for timekeeping, and have quartz movements. However, expensive collectible watches, valued more for their elaborate craftsmanship, aesthetic appeal and glamorous design than for simple timekeeping, often have traditional mechanical movements, even though they are less accurate and more expensive than electronic ones. The list below contains million-dollar watches, reserved for the wealthiest men and women on the planet.
