Diamond Watches - A Gem Of An Investment!

They may look good and let us know the time when we glance at them, but watches are not only about form and function. They can become collector’s items, and depending on their rarity and the materials used, they can often prove to be a shrewd investment.

But here’s the big question: are you better off investing your money in stocks and shares, or a watch that contains a precious metal or stone? You may be surprised that history suggests you might actually be better off with diamonds than a financial interest in a PLC.

According to alternative investments specialist Midas Commodities, diamonds have proven to be a less risky investment in the past 60 years – they have produced better annual returns than stocks and outperformed bonds.

Recent market performance also shows that diamonds may indeed be forever. In the past calendar year, the value of diamonds has risen from around $120 per ounce to over $170 – an increase of nearly 40%.

And while there’s never been a better time to invest in a diamond watch, it may also be wise to jump on the market success that gold is enjoying too. The precious metal is trading at a record high, and like diamonds, it has increased its value by over 40% in the past year.

So, if you’re thinking of investing in a diamond watch, you’d be wise to ensure the case contains gold too. The Tag Heuer Aquaracer Bi-colour Diamond Ladies’ Watch is a good starting point...
