Everyone have different tastes and preferences for their watches. Just for a little bit of fun, what are the 3 luxury watch brands that you will never consider for your collection? Here are mine:
1) Breitling
2) Hublot
3) Romain Jerome

It depends very much upon your definition of a Luxury Brand?

Good question. In theory all watches are considered luxury these days since the advent of handphones. So, to be more specific, by luxury watch brands, I was referring to purveyors of fine mechanical and quartz watches, excluding the typical "fashion" brands such as CK, DKNY, Fossil, etc. So, it could be anything from a Longines to Panerai to Patek to Dufour.

I sure hope that this will be a peaceful discussion and not turn into a flame war.

I will just share 3 names that don't quite speak to me, with elaborating
1. Hublot
2. B&R
3. Pxxxxxx

I will never say never. Normally I will try out the watches from different brands. If it does not sing to me, I move them on and try another brand. That being said, I have not felt the urge to try a Hublot as of yet. Another brand which does not really sing to me is Roger Dubuis.

mike · « **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2015, 07:19:21 PM »

Hublot, Chopard, Roger Dubuis, so many more..

1to12 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2015, 09:03:59 PM »

I used to think Chopard is more of a fashion watch but I'm growing fond of the LUC range. I like Breitling too especially the older ones, so am quite surprised to see it listed couple of times here.

My pick would be:

1) Corum
2) Bulgari
3) Jaquet Droz

iamyourfazaaa · « **Reply #16 on:** February 06, 2015, 11:10:40 PM »

Rather than say which ones I won't add to my collection... I'll list the ones I will add:

- Lange
- Patek
- Vacheron
- Rolex
- JLC
- IWC
- Omega

Itu saja. Any other brand does not interest me as much.

I will just share 3 names that don't quite speak to me, with elaborating
1. Hublot
2. B&R
3. Pxxxxxx
Strictly due to my lifestyle and personal preference. Nothing against their supporters

What is number 3?
