Swiss luxury watches can be made from various materials, but the most popular ones are stainless steel and titanium. Both metals have low thermal conductivity, making them comfortable to wear. However, they differ in appearance and resistance to wear. Which one is better for you depends on your preferences — but understanding the properties helps.
