NEW YORK, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The love affair between men and watches has gone on since the beginning of time, or at least since the early 20th century. But, like most love affairs, they often come with a high cost. Now, with new leasing options from Steal the Time, a watch aficionado can enjoy his favorite watch and flirt with a few others too. Steal the Time (www.stealthetime.com) caters to watch aficionados and novices alike. It's perfect for those guys who want to take a watch for a test-drive, but don't want to commit. With more than 30 high-end timepieces to choose from--ranging from Cartier to Panerai to Rolex, and many others in between--each watch is in mint condition and ready to lease for as long as a connoisseur wants. All a watch guy needs to do is sign up for membership for a nominal monthly fee, select a watch, and pay a weekly or monthly leasing fee based on which watch he selects and how long he keeps the watch. When he's ready to trade in one watch for another model, he simply returns the watch and chooses another. Donald Trump would be jealous! The founders of Steal the Time, Justin Figari and Jonathan Abusamra, both work in the banking industry and decided it was time to bring high-end watches to the people. "We both enjoy wearing watches, and clearly not everyone can afford to buy every watch they crave, so we decided to make watch-wardrobing more accessible," Figari said. The website works like a layaway program too. If a member decides to keep the watch, or purchase another watch, a portion of their previous payments go toward the full payment up to a specific amount. In other words, this is a "pay-while-you-play" plan that builds equity with every payment. So for those who are stuck for an idea on what to give their husband or dad for Father's Day, or their son who's graduating and entering the job market, or their brother for his next big birthday...consider a month-long rental of his favorite watch. And if he's very deserving, maybe he'll get to own it himself someday; but at least in the meantime he can have fun playing the field. For more information, visit www.stealthetime.com.
