Discover the Timeless Charm of Vintage Watches
Over the last two decades, vintage products have surged in popularity for a few reasons. One of which is due to the phenomenon known as “anemoia” which is the feeling of nostalgia for a time that you never experienced. Along with this, the popularity of vintage watches grew, particularly as people started to become aware of the craftmanship that sets vintage watches apart from modern mass produced ones.
This popularity growth could also be a result of the mechanical watch revival that followed the quartz crisis of the 1970s and 80s. Vintage watches have consistently made headlines, with some Rolex models fetching well over a million dollars at prestigious auction houses.
Today, vintage watches are in higher demand than ever before. Even models from lesser-known brands have seen their value increase tenfold over the last decade. While not every vintage timepiece will reach astronomical prices, a vintage watch from brands like Omega, which sold for a couple of hundred pounds in the 1990s, can now fetch several times that in today’s market.
You might wonder what defines a vintage watch in the first place. The answer isn’t set in stone. Some consider any pre-1980 model as vintage, while others insist it’s anything over 25 years old. Watches over a century old are classified as antiques—a true collector’s treasure.
If you’re considering starting your own vintage collection, numerous established brands and models await your exploration.
Here are a few tips for aspiring vintage collectors: always buy from a trusted seller, seek watches with all original parts (for example, dials can possibly be repainted or replaced on older watches), and avoid wearing any vintage watch in water, as its water resistance may have eroded over time. Embrace faded lume, the occasional battle scar, and a touch of patina; they’re part of a vintage watch’s charm, evidence of its unique journey through time.
At Authentic Watch Co., we offer a diverse selection of vintage models from esteemed brands such as Omega, Tudor, Rolex, and IWC. Explore our collection online today to find your perfect vintage timepiece and become a part of its enduring story.
