Some people claim that expensive watches are a waste of money. On the contrary, I believe, you buy one because you appreciate the craftsmanship and engineering each timepiece represents. By spending more, you might not get a watch that tells the time any better, but you will get something that has had many, many hours of research, design and painstaking work to make it as good a piece as it can be.

The London Man Blog enlisted the help of expert Paul Brown, to guide us through some of the best options around right now.
