I have always been confused by the luxury watch market. Classic guilloche faced watches often sell for $25,000 or more. But who spends that? I understand the collector who wants to own rarities, but many of those high end watches are simply mass produced. Plus, every billionaire that I know (I only know 4) wears a watch that cost under $300. It seems if you really have it, you don’t need to show it off. It is in that vein that we have designed the Newport Chronograph. A classic dual coin edged watch with a guilloche patterned face and Breguet styled hands that have all the hallmarks of a classic vintage timepiece. As a test, I put this watch and a $25,000 watch into the hands of 10 friends and told them each watch cost $1,000 and asked them which would they go for. It was a tie. But the Newport team just saved thousands dollars!
Add a little class to the wrist and smile at the price … because nothing is more classy than a nice smile.
