According to WatchPro, luxury watches have recently been hailed as one of the most desirable ‘investment of passion’ choices throughout much of the world. This information was compiled by ‘The Wealth Report 2014’, as related by Knight Frank Research, and only Australasia displayed a pattern where watches ranked outside of the three most desirable selections. Watches were only outshone by fine wine and art on average, as they were even found to be more frequently purchased than jewellery in most areas. When compared to last year, watches registered an increase of 4%, and the precedent that has been set over the past several years has always been one of growth.
Clearly, watches are an enormously popular investment all the way across the globe, so her
e are three of the timepieces that we have in stock right now; especially selected for your perusal.
Ladies Small Ballon Bleu Strap Quartz
A breathtaking timepiece created by Cartier, this ladies small Ballon Bleu strap watch is a veritable study in classic, minimalist design. A strikingly petit wristwatch, this Ballon Bleu makes superb use of a burnished stainless steel case and a contrasting black alligator strap, and the rounded glory of the casing is especially designed to echo a water-polished pebble. Despite the simplicity, the timepiece also exhibits a wealth of precise detail, with blue sword-shaped hands and a sapphire cabochon embraced winding mechanism, to name but two prime examples of this fact. Because of the unique shape, the dial is also magnified for exceptional clarity, so you will find an abundance of reasons to fall in love with this wristwatch. Available from Banks Lyon for 36 monthly payments of £64.67 and an accompanying 20% deposit, this delightful timepiece is an exceptional statement of feminine elegance.
Longines Hydroconquest Automatic 
In contrast to the Cartier, this Longines Hydroconquest automatic watch is a timepiece that has been crafted to excel specifically in the realm of diving. Endorsed by tennis legend Andre Agassi, this memorable wristwatch fully embraces this intention with a water resistance of 300 metres, a unidirectional dial in varying shades of blue, and also a sea exploration-style bracelet. In addition, the case and the crown are fully secured with screw fixings; a consideration that adds a degree of lateral protection to the already durable qualities of this 39mm watch. The functional focus doesn’t mean that the Longines is any less attractive than the Cartier though, as the clean, angular lines of the design are perfectly suited for attracting the eye, just as the automatic capability of the movement bolsters convenience. In stock at Banks Lyon for only 24 monthly payments of £29.63 and a 10% deposit, this timepiece is an excellent way to balance beauty, capability and affordability.
TAG Heuer A
quaracer Chronograph
The TAG Heuer Aquaracer chronograph watch was newly released only last year, and especially took our eye due to its sleek, almost ‘monochrome’ aesthetic. The 43mm stainless steel case was a completely fresh concept for TAG Heuer, and this silvered form is made all the more noticeable by the chic black dial and bezel. Displaying details that are outlined in luminescent white, and also utilising crisp horizontal lining as a framing device for the features on the dial, this watch is very understated in a supremely confident manner. Like all TAG Heuer Aquaracer watches, this model pays tribute to the brand’s ethos of ultra-reliable engineering, and so the automatic movement is waterproof in depths of up to 500 metres. For men who care about professional style, but who also wish to embrace an active sense of adventure, this watch is the ideal choice. This Aquaracer is on sale at Banks Lyon for 36 monthly payments of £67.78 and an additional 20% deposit, and will certainly not disappoint you.
