Part 8/9:
Wearing a $100,000 Patek Philippe in a corporate environment can actually work against you, as it may be seen as flaunting your wealth in front of your subordinates. Conversely, a plumber showing up to your house in a diamond-encrusted Jacob & Co. would be equally out of place.
The key is finding a watch that aligns with your lifestyle, personality, and the way you want to be perceived. Are you an active, outdoorsy person? Then a rugged, sports-oriented watch might be the better choice. Are you more interested in the history and craftsmanship? Then a vintage piece could be the way to go.
