Good day everyone, in this blog I would like to share about my deep and one of my most favorite collectables that'll I love to keep and read about now and also collecting them in the future. I'd like to share about my rather weird obsession and passion towards watches. There are numerous watches brand that I admire but here are my personal favorite that I would love to collect in my watch collections 

1.Seiko

Why Seiko? 

Well basically the main reason that I love Seiko is that this Japanese made watch was established in 1881 in Tokyo.

What's so unique? 

 Seiko is one of the very rare companies that is family owned, everything is in house (including it's screws, glasses and bezels). Another reason is that despite being able to beat and compete with several luxury watches such as Omega, Breitling, Hublot, Tag Heuer and many more, Seiko still showcases a very humble and  an affordable price that most of us can buy.

My personal favorite?

My personal favorite Seiko watch is obviously is the Seiko SKX007 diver watch series (left picture). It is due to beauty engrafted in it, a very good price (RM1799), one of the most everlasting divers watch to be ever made, significant style yet has a luxury watch style. It comes in either the steel strap  series or a black rubber strap series

2.OMEGA

Why Omega?

What is luxury? Well definitions are not needed when you see Omega watches, they portray total beaty, elegance, so perfect texture. Most watch collectors will call this thing of a beauty as a perfect watch angel. Omega, found at Switzerland in 1848, this 172 year old watch has provided watches for almost all  professions such as pilots, astronauts, NASA staff, and many more which symbolizes the uniqueness they have

What's so unique?  

First of all it is because of it's family tradition. Secondly, they are the most precise timepiece before the creation of quartz and GPS. Most people relied on Omega for the most accurate timing due to their technology in automatic watch battery. Apart from that, is the creation of the Speedmaster watch after the Apollo Landing 11 which marked the companies true luxury beauty

My personal favorite?

My personal favorite Omega timepiece will definitely be the Speedmaster Professional (2nd picture). Built to celebrate the famous landing of Apollo 11 which successfully took of the moon. It portrays the craft of the moon with the colors of black and gold which shows the beauty of the watch and the moon. The price of this watch is (RM 15000)

Why Rolex? 

Who hasn’t heard of Rolex? One of the most magnificent and precious timekeeping device ever known to man and also a watch collectors dream collection. Founded in 1920 at London,United Kingdom, this watch has grew to be one of the most remarkable brands till now. From famous celebrities to sponsoring famous sports competitions such as Formula 1 (F1), the Masters (golf), to almost all major tennis tournaments such as Wimbledon 

What’s so unique?

Every Rolex movement undergoes an extensive ‘exacting’ process, which can take well over a year to complete. It begins with hundreds of finely manufactured components and after careful assembly and minute adjustments, the oscillator is positioned.Next,the bezel of a Rolex watch is made by itself. the bezel is heated to 1,500 degrees, hardening and purifying the ceramic mix. The entire bezel is then sprayed with gold and polished extensively until the numerals emerge and virtually indestructible able and resistant to scratch

My personal favourite? 

My favourite would obviously be the Rolex GMT Master-II batman bezel or the Pepsi bezel. Costing us around RM40,000 this watch has it’s very unique look that can identify it’s chronological watch look with it’s Rolex touch in a distance. Moreover, this watch has several bezels and shows it’s identity, for example, the batman bezels are loved by most comic book lovers and the Pepsi bezel was adored by many and especially the 80s and even retro lovers of now time

4. Breitling

Why Breitling? 

Breitling has been one of my most favourite watches ever since I love reading watches and dream collecting one. Founded on 1884 at Switzerland, this watch has a rich history and also fame crafted in it’s watch that definitely catches the eye of everyone in a place

What’s so unique? 

What makes Breitling watches so unique is the precision of the watch is so precise that it is almost impossible for it to get an error. The carving of these watch are so detailed that you could see every part of the watch with a different perspective and a different design 

My personal favourite?

My favourite would be the Breitling Navitimer. This watch would cost someone around RM18,500.

This has been my personal favourite because the inner design if the watch which shows how precise can the watch be and at the same time look classy and simple. Apart from that is the look of the watch that has the looks of a mariners watch which makes it a créme de la créme among all Breitling watches
