The Midas Touch: Luxury Gold Timepieces to treasure

Granted, his power was more than impractical. He couldn’t eat, drink or even embrace his loved ones without turning them into solid gold. Merely hours after being granted his wish, the gift he had so badly longed for turned into a curse he desperately wanted rid of.

Gold was, and still is, an undoubtably beautiful precious metal. So, for all King Midas’ flaws, his wish to be surrounded by gold in his life was greedy but appealing nonetheless. The precious metal has been a sign of wealth, status and class from as far back as 600 BC.

We no longer trade with gold currency as they did in those early ages, but times and tastes have never changed when it comes to our appreciation of it: our highstreets are full of glorious gold art, jewellery, and luxury timepieces. Long may it continue.

Explore our finest gold timepieces here on Calibre today; because with one of these on your wrist, you’ll always possess the Midas touch.
