Celebrity’s Favorite All-Purpose Watches

Trendsetting celebrities are the ones fans love to follow. They have the discretionary income, personal stylists to help and an eye for fashion. There are thousands of watches from which to select, so it is interesting to note the choices of our favorite rich and famous. Rather than go for the obvious, most-expensive watches they own, we decided to concentrate on their more casual watches. Actually, the selections include watches that are trendy, classy and can be worn for a variety of informal events. It’s unlikely we will see these models on the red carpet, but they are good-to-go for just about anywhere else.
Millionaires and billionaires are people too and their tastes are often the same as their fans – although with higher price tags. Luxury wristwatches can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $25 million. It generally depends on the designer, manufacturer and how many and what quality of diamonds and gems are used. The mechanisms are intricate and it takes master craftspeople to make the more expensive models.
These casual watches are more expensive than most of us could afford, but for the rich and famous the prices are probably considered to be on the low to reasonable side. Although we’re pretty sure that the watches that are purchased by the general population aren’t handmade, like some of these extraordinary timepieces.
