Luxury Watches

Luxury watches are more than just an accessory. They’re a statement and an investment, both for collectors and anyone looking for that one special asset to own. South Florida is home to stores selling some of the most exclusive men’s luxury watch brands and best women’s luxury watches, including Rolex and Patek Philippe.

Patek Philippe, Miami Wynwood

Patek Philippe is possibly the most exclusive Swiss watch designer in the world. Although it might not be the most famous outside of those in the know, its name evokes luxury and quality. Patek Philippe is the last independent, family-owned watch manufacturer in Geneva and is known for the longevity of its watches. In fact, their slogan is “You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.” The company was founded in 1839 and its watches have been owned by royalty, politicians, world-renowned artists, and more.

Richard Mille Boutique, Bal Harbour

Richard Mille is a more modern luxury Swiss watch company. Founded in 2001, the brand specializes in ultra-high-end watches and has made a name for itself over the last 20 years. Richard Mille watches are easy to recognize by their unique case shape and visible movement. Inspired by racing cars, Richard Mille watches have high shock resistance, are lightweight and extremely accurate, and use materials taken from aeronautics and Formula 1. The brand also sponsors various sports people and events to further their connection to sports.

Jacob and Co, Bal Harbour

Those interested in American brands may be drawn to Jacob & Co, a luxury watch brand founded in New York City in 1986. Launched by designer Jacob Arabo, this innovative brand is favored by multiple stars of hip-hop, first catching the attention of Notorious B.I.G. in the 1990s, and since worn by names including Sean Combs, Jay-Z, Drake, and 50 Cent.
