Australia's First Luxury Watch Service Launches For The Horologically Handicapped

Are you, or do you aspire to be, an avid watch collector? Do you have $100,000 sitting in your bank account, begging to be spent on something impulsive? Kennedy's slightly confusing new "Subscription" service could be just the thing you're looking for The high-end luxury watch and jewellery retailer is on the hunt for 12 wealthy lucky customers who are willing to part with $100k in return for 12 watches Customers will be sent a new watch every month, with each one being personally selected by none other than Mr James Kennedy himself.

For your $100,000 you'd expect each watch to be worth around $8,500 The issue we do have, not just with this particular service but watch subscriptions in general, is that they take away the emotional aspect of buying a luxury timepiece "A watch is with you all of the time; more so than even your phone.

It's something you will likely wear and look at every day Choosing a timepiece of quality conveys a sense of self-respect That message often carries forward into how others perceive you.

The watch one wears can tell a lot about a person A luxury watch can communicate individual taste, aesthetic appeal, a subtle display of wealth, and dress etiquette." Confident as we are in Kennedy's ability to choose the right watch for each customer, you'll have to hope you're happy with whatever lands on your doorstep each month. . Source
