| In the past, watches were used
purposely as time pieces. Today, they are more like fashion accessories
aside and status symbols from being important time pieces.
Just like any fashion item, many people buy branded watches. People
wearing a famous brand of watch, especially if that brand is known to be
expensive, are generally thought of as belonging to the upper class of
society.
If luxury watches is the issue, then undoubtedly, the most famous brand
of watches of this kind is Rolex. This is a privately owned Swiss
company that manufactures wristwatches and accessories. Rolex is known
for the quality and prestige of their watches. Needless to say, their
watches cost a fortune and their watches have become status symbols of
the wealthy and powerful.
