Andrew picks 3 new stealth wealth watches for 2023
Time+TideLuxury is typically associated with lavishness and opulence – diamonds, gems, yellow gold and the like. Some people want everyone around them to know they are doing well, their wardrobe and accessories a clear tell of this. Others, however, prefer to fly under the radar with their watches – a phenomenon that’s recently gained traction known as stealth wealth. White gold and platinum watches are common culprits on the wrists of stealth wealth-concerned individuals, as they can easily be mistaken for plebian stainless steel. The meaning can also be more literal, however, as you will see with Andrew’s selection of three new stealth wealth watches for 2023, leveraging predominantly black hues.
For the full low-down on this stealth wealth trio, you will have to watch the video above, but the specifications and pricing for each are listed below.
