I’m not asking for myself, just looking to generate discussion:
I occasionally hear people say ...it was my first proper watch’ or ...first luxury Swiss watch, which I think is a permutation of this. How would you people define this?
To me, it implies a certain maturity, perhaps ability to wear more formally. I’m not sure cost comes into it as I wouldn’t want to discount a watch as ‘improper’ because it’s affordable but there’s probably something in the fact it’s a bit of a stretch.
I think of my nomos club dunkel as a proper watch but it’s affordable, not Swiss and a little casual...
