I’m out to dinner with new friends and one catches a glimpse of my wrist.
“Nice watch,” he says. “Must have set you back a few bucks. How much?” He starts the bidding at $1,000. I say nothing.
“Five grand?” he asks. Again, I’m silent.
“Ten?” He’s working himself into a lather now. I merely raise an eyebrow. “If you paid over ten thousand, dessert is on you!”
I break my silence and let him off the hook.
“I paid less than one for this beauty.”
He looks relieved. “That’s good,” he says. “Spending $2,000 on a solid, classically built timepiece sounds just about right.”
I just smile ... he doesn’t need to know the rest of the story. Let him think I overpaid, when I actually outsmarted the big names of luxury watchmaking. Only Stauer can deliver a timepiece that looks as good as the luxury classics while performing even better.
The Stauer Stellar Edge carries all the hallmarks of a vintage 1940s treasure — raised starburst dial, rich yellow gold color and genuine leather croc embossed band — but we’ve upgraded the movement for the 21st century. The Stellar Edge has been designed to deliver 99.9998% accuracy, sacrificing at best, one second per day. You get prestige, performance and proof that buying well is the best revenge.
