The question is…
Automatic movements, some of them, are priceless works of art, drooled after to be collected and treasured. We don’t feel the same way about quartz calibers, though. Had there ever been any comparison test between quartz calibers from different brands?
The stand of quartz
From a collector’s standpoint, there are only a few quartz watches fit to be appreciated for their value. Needless to say, most do not have it to become a collectible.
But some quartz watches have managed to become collectibles. No, not the first-ever production quartz watch (the Seiko Quartz-Astron) or the AP Royal Oak Quartz or the Cartier Tank Solo in gold! Those became collectibles long time back; it is about quartz watches that probably shall hold their value for a long time to come.
What’s so great about them?
To be endorsed as an excellent, high-end, quality watch to any collection, a quartz watch needs more than just a classic look. It is common with any reputable manufacturer, so real collectors won’t exactly feel drawn to it.
However, for sentimental values, there’s nothing barring treating even the simplest of quartz watches as collectibles. If it has an unusual look no automatic/mechanical will support; or built for some specific purpose that an automatic watch can’t provide, ever; it’s a collectible. You should buy it regardless of what others might speak about its depreciation in value.
