    Vincent Van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist. His paintings and drawings include some of the world’s best known, most popular and most expensive pieces.

    Although he sold only one painting during his lifetime, Van Gogh is now one of the most popular artists of all time. His canvases with densely laden, visible brushstrokes rendered in a bright, opulent palette emphasising Van Gogh’s personal expression brought to life in paint.

    Each painting provides a direct sense of how the artist viewed each scene, interpreted through his eyes, mind, and heart. This radically idiosyncratic, emotionally evocative style has continued to affect artists and movements throughout the twentieth century and up to the present day, guaranteeing Van Gogh’s importance far into the future!

    The Van Gogh Museum houses the world’s largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh. The collection includes world famous paintings like Sunflowers, Almond Blossom, and The Potato Eaters.

    Inspired by the iconic ​paintings of Vincent ​Van Gogh, the  Van Gogh Swiss Watches Collection pays homage to great artist!​

  • Beginners Guide to Buying a Luxury Watch

    Beginners Guide to Buying a Luxury Watch

    [thb_image full_width=”true” alignment=”center” image=”1717″]

    ​Whether ​you are buying your first luxury watch or looking to add to your growing collection​, picking the right one​ is crucial because it becomes a part of you. The timepiece you pick reflects your inner style and character. Here’s a guide to choosing a watch that best suits you:

    Style

    One of the first things ​to consider before buying a luxury watch is what style watch you want to purchase! Pick a design​, brand and size​ that fits into your wardrobe and lifestyle. Do not fall prey to the latest trends and fads that do not go with you personality. Be true to your style.

    Type Of Movement

    The movement is the engine or the calibre of a watch. There are various movements that are created, however each of these movements fits into one of the 2 categories – Quartz – battery powered or Mechanical-uses an intricate system of crafted pieces that turn the hands of your clock at a perfectly tuned pace​.​

    Brand / Designer

    When choosing a luxury brand or designer of the timepiece, there are two things to consider- the resale value of the brand today and if the brand is likely to increase in value over time, therefore making your resale value higher. I​n addition to these the iconic styles, the heritage and the different things that inspire the brand that you relate to.

    New or Pre-owned

    Every brand​ is constantly working to improve every timepiece, ​the style, the performance of the movement and the materials​.​ If you were to hold a model manufactured today vs. what was made even just a few years ago, you’ll feel a tremendous difference. If you are on a budget and you aren’t in a position to buy a new watch, a previously owned piece is a great option and often a great value. Just make sure you get a warranty to ensure it it is a genuine​.​

    Maintenance

    Your watch will often need maintenance every now and then. This watch should last you a lifetime if well maintained​. M​ake sure you ask about the cost of these services. Some watches could be expensive, so it is good to know these things before you purchase your watch.
