The Most Desired Luxury Watches of 2013
When you understand what it takes to succeed in life, you know what that feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment truly feel like. Having something of quality and luxury in your life can serve as a reminder of all it took to get you where you are today.
When most people think luxury watches their minds instantly imagine the gold crown of the internationally renowned Rolex brand. Perhaps other commercially popular brands like Gucci or Omega come to mind. However, there are several other high-end watch makers out there producing timepieces that put the “chrono-crown” into perspective.
For example, watchmakers like Jaeger Le Coultre, Blancpain, Audemars Piguet, Ulysse Nardin, Franck Muller, and Chopard are actually responsible for making some the world’s most sought after luxury watches.
So, come along with us as we discover what the most desired luxury watches are in 2013.

Blancpain
The 1735 Grande Complication from Blancpain might have a price tag of $800,000, but that’s because its complex machinery includes a remarkable 740 hand-made pieces, a crocodile skin strap, and a case made completely from precious platinum.

Franck Muller
Our final selection is the Aeternitas Mega 4 by Franck Muller. This handsome luxury watch has a 999 years calendar, three-day power reserve, and boasts the most complications of any watch in the world with thirty-six. With a price tag of $2.7 million we’d expect it to be built to last a millennia and to attract the kind of owner who knows and deserves true luxury.
