The Luxury Well - Our View on the World of Luxury Watches
How to import luxury watches into the U.S.: Customs Duties
The Luxury Well has been importing watches into the U.S. from all around the globe for over 15 years. In times of global excess inventory, even less seasoned collectors are tempted to make bargain purchases from sellers in other countries. There has been extensive coverage of the risks of cross border transactions. However, there is not much information available about the process of importing a luxury watch into the United States. The Luxury Well offers importing services for clients that seek the ease and security of professional importer on record services. Here is an overview of what to consider when doing it yourself.
2020 reigns in the new TLW
New Design, New Watches,
New Spirit
Since TLW started in early 2017, our passionate clients have continuously urged us to improve our sites navigation and overall usability. We were now finally able to take the leap and redesign The Luxury Well. Here are some highlights.
Sattler Classica Secunda 1985: A Must-Have Ultra-Luxury Object Or Simply The Ultimate Geek Toy?
Erwin Sattler is a family-owned clock manufacturer, I dare say today the only one of its kind in the world. Its founding dates back to 1903 when Heinrich Sattler patented a mantel clock with an integrated perpetual calendar.
Some 60 years later, Erwin Sattler founded the company that is still in existence today, now owned and managed by his daughter, Stephanie Sattler-Rick, and her business partner Richard Müller.
Most watch brands (certainly those manufacturing less than 100 units a year) can only dream of the depth of manufacturing and production independence that Sattler achieves.
The Breitling Chronomat 44 GMT
A Short Video Hommage
This short video clip created by TLW shows the intricate details of the dial, hands and case work of the Breitling Chronomat 44 GMT in 18kt rose gold and stainless steel. The level of quality, attention to detail and discipline in craftsmanship is remarkable and en par with the most prestigious brands in the trade.
We have to admit that we weren't always big fans of the brand. This model in particular is polarizing and not everybody's cup of tea. But with this short clip, we try to demonstrate the objective quality of the product beyond our personal taste and opinion. Enjoy!
