Announced to the public during last September&#8217;s Apple Developer&#8217;s conference, the Apple Watch was unveiled with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y-waTi8BPdk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breathless, parody-ready video<\/a> narrated by the company&#8217;s senior vice president of design, Jony Ive. The watch wasn&#8217;t a complete surprise to the Apple fanatics who obsessively monitor every move made by the Cupertino-based behemoth; for years, rumors had swirled that the company was planning a foray into wearables.<\/p>\n<p>But Ives was still able to throw a bit of a curve ball. Alongside entry-level aluminum and steel models, Apple also released the Apple Watch Edition, nestling the computerized touchscreen within 18-karat yellow and rose gold cases. The price points \u2014 from $10,000 and up \u2014 are not dissimilar to those of other precious metal wristwatches, and they also serve to announce the brand\u2019s first true foray into the luxury market. In other words, they&#8217;re sort of on our turf (they even teased the release with a preview at Milan&#8217;s recent Salone del Mobile furniture fair). In some circles, people are asking if the Apple Watch Edition spells the extinction of the traditional heirloom timepiece.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, on the occasion of the Apple Watch debut, we spoke to some of our premier watch dealers for their take on whether the Apple Watch Edition will upset the luxury timepiece market. Spoiler alert: no one is worried. See below to see seven experts throw a little shade at Apple&#8217;s latest \u2014 and then see the pieces you could buy instead.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/timeless-gallery-llc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Timeless Gallery&#8217;s<\/a> Seth Larrabue:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Thoughts on the Apple Watch?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The real attraction of the Apple Watch is that it\u2019s a \u201cmust-have,\u201d and anything trendy with a small screen will attract young and \u201cnouveau riche\u201d consumers.
