IWC have advertising on the watch magazins all over the world and every months... they have costs of some million $$$$$ per year only for advertising on watch magazins... add the other advertising costs and you will know why their watches are so expensive. I think in IWC's case, the PRODUCT makes them money.

A DW costs $3 to make and sells for $200. DW wearers are young people who don't have $10,000 to spend, but they can signal their relative wealth among their peer group. Watches don't just tell the time, they store time.

They seem to be in the business of selling fashion watches. They usually don't have much going for them. You are paying more for the brand rather than the quality of the time piece. If you like the designs of their watches, go right ahead but there isn't much, if any, quality or brand heritage there.

They make a decent product and you get the equivalent of top of the line Hamilton watches for about 10%. Oh, you didn't know that Hamilton's are made in Asia too. Shame on all of us. Seriously, Nakzen does make a high-quality watch.

IWC is the 9th most recognized Swiss watchmaker in the world (which is also very impressive). Some even go as far to say that if you want to impress your average layman, wear a Rolex but IWC is a watch to wear to impress a watchmaker or serious collector.

The only place to get a decent watch made for $20-$30/unit is China because of cheap Manufacturing costs. As mentioned, it's not actually made by MK. It's mass produced by factories that make presentable and basically reliable watches.

It is not uncommon for good, high-quality watches to cost upwards of $1,000. Though it is not a thrifty price, it can be affordable for those willing to spend such sums on excellent products once in a while. TAG Heuer offers several lines of watches, each with its own price range.

The materials are very expensive. Rolex, for example, tends to use 904L steel which is leagues ahead of even most luxury market equivalents. They tend to use 316L steel. This makes them harder, shinier and also more expensive by default.

August Steiner makes good watches that are not exorbitantly expensive. The same is true of this watch. With all the features it has on it, it only cost me $80. For a chronograph watch, that is pretty outstanding.

The top four reasons that Rolex watches are so expensive: It's meticulously made. ... If a watch is gem-set, then you can be sure that every gem is internally flawless (and that it was put there by one of the 20-plus specialists that Rolex employs just to sit gems). Its only platinum is 950 platinum, its only gold is 18K.
