This is one of the most interesting reasons you should wear a watch because watches are among the most iconic and appreciated heirlooms there are.

Old watches carry a lot of history, and this is an important reason why collecting vintage watches has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years.

Owning timepieces that have been passed on through generations is a remembrance of your relatives, the history of what the watch has been through, and where and how it has been used, and the story it tells. Patek Philippe’s motto is ”create your own traditions”, and that is because high-quality watches are wonderful pieces of craftsmanship that can withstand time and be passed on from generation to generation. If serviced regularly, watches have a long life length and can be passed on from generation to generation. Remember Patek Philippe’s slogan  ”You never actually own a Patek Philippe watch, you merely look after it for the next generation”.

Collecting watches and passing them on to future generations means not only being a part of history, but also being a part of the history through your watches, and then passing the history on.
