For anyone contemplating paying £1000 for a watch...

Know the difference between quartz and an automatic movement? If you're buying a serious watch, you should.

One is a simple electronic timepiece, the other a miniature mechanical masterpiece. Both might have the same brand and design. Both might even have similar prices.

Swiss watches are famous for a reason. However, the marketeers will be happy to sell you the quartz watch for only slightly less than the real thing. Know what you are buying.
