Platinum is known as a material that was built to last, while gold
has to be alloy when used in jewelries & watches it doesn’t mean that they
are all 18 carat gold, because even if they are, you can just get 75% precious
metal from it. Platinum however is being used as its purity level which is just
ninety five percent. You can rarely find jewelries made up of platinum
globally. It is heavier, denser than any other types of precious metals, which
made it more durable. Similar to gold, it doesn’t oxidize and it will remain
unblemished through the years. Platinum watches and jewelries are specially
designed to last a lifetime.

since 1820 for all their watches and up to this day, they have collected
