Timeless luxury that is equal parts beautiful and functional makes investing in it quite easy. Smartphones may have taken over as our primary source for checking the time, but we know they’re not always reliable. Our phones malfunction, run out of battery, and emit blue light. Watches, on the other hand, have been around since the late 15th century and are still used today. Luxury watches are typically engineered with precision and skill. They offer accurate timekeeping, are durable, and can increase in value over time. We look at 4 luxury watches that are worth investing in today that will last a lifetime.

1. The Rolex Lady Datejust
This watch is an intricate timepiece which was launched by Rolex back in 1957, a perfect addition to any watch collection.

It has a champagne analogue dial with a date display, luminescent dial hands, which is protected beneath scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass.

2. CHANEL J12 Diamond Tourbillion Calibre 5
The first Flying Tourbillion manufactured exclusively for the house, the Chanel J12 Tourbillion watch combines le savoir-faire with luxury. The sophisticated Calibre 5 mechanism uses the wearer’s natural movement to power the watch. It features a solitaire diamond that rotates to the second, 34 baguette-cut pavé diamonds on the bezel, and additional diamonds on the crown and hands. An 18-carat white gold case and resistant ceramic straps guarantee the durability and longevity that come with owing a piece of haute joaillerie.
