It's time to invest your money on an exquisite timepiece that's brimming with finesse from its design to technical mastery.

1/8
Chanel
Chanel is one fashion house that has managed to deliver time and time - pun intended - again exquisite timepieces such as this white and gold number. With a bezel-cut rectangular face that's outlined with 104 brilliant-cut diamonds and a mother of pearl dial, we don't know if we'll be looking at the time or be blinded by the shine. Premiere Flying Toubillon, price upon request
2/8
Tiffany & Co
Literally turning the rules of watchmaking on its side, the Tiffany East West collection features a rectangular-shaped dial that's rotated 90 degrees to the usual direction.Quirky and yet sleek, the watches will no doubt stir up conversations. East West Collection, price upon request
3/8
Bvlgari
Perhaps the true definition of grandeur, this LVCEA timepiece is incomparably brilliant. From 11 diamond indexes to the dozens of diamonds that scintillate along each curve of the bracelet, the watch is one that celebrates absolute elegance. Contrasted with the black opaline dial, the pink cabochon cut stone on the crown also adds a hint of femininity to it. LVCEA Timepiece, price upon request
4/8
Chanel
If you prefer your watches to be less ostentatious, then perhaps the pairing of leather and steel will appeal to you better. Complete with the mother of pearl dial, have this wrapped around your wrists and you'd be flaunting your edgy demeanour to no end. Première Rock Bleu, price upon request
5/8
Piaget
Ever experience wearing luxury like it was second skin? Well, now you can with Piaget's carefully crafted gold bracelet watch that's essentially up of tons of tiny links to result in one seamless strap.
With the dial encircled with diamonds, this particular watch is as functional as it is sartorially savvy.Traditional Oval, price upon request
6/8
Fendi
And if you prefer a little more eccentricity in your accessories, Fendi's My Way timepiece should do just the trick. When adorned with a detachable fox fur plume, the watch essentially comes alive with a vivacious nature. We love the sheer creativity involved in taking a typically elegant piece of accessory and injecting it with a dose of quirk - and it's versatile for different occasions as well!My Way timepiece, price upon request
7/8
Swarovski
Encircled with 52 clear crystals, the stunning watch comes in a pristine shade of white that is essentially timeless and elegant. Aila Day White Stainless Steel Watch, approx. SGD500
8/8
Folli Follie
Beyond the usual steel and leather straps of watches, chain watches are one to look out for. In the Folli Follie Santorini Flower collection, the mother of pearl dials are carved as floral motifs and come assembled with either black or white chains that exude a vintage vibe to the piece. One for the keeps we say.

Luxury designer watches come with their own cloud of allure and elegance that trumps every other accessory. When asked, watchmakers will enthuse about the sheer level of mastery and intricacies that go into crafting some of the world's finest watches. Which is why they're seen as a symbol of prestige and the epitome of sophistication. Sure some of them focus less on the technical aspect of watchmaking and are instead more design-centric, but ultimately these watches do rise above the pack of generic watches.

Akin to statement jewellery, luxury watches are conversation starters on their own right so if your wardrobe is lacking a sense of finesse, then perhaps it's time to invest some money on a haute timepiece. For convenience sake, because we all know time is precious, we've highlighted key luxury watches that you should be getting your hands on - or your wrists.

Time is too short to not splurge on a luxury watch.
