## Implementation Examples

### Example 1: Enhanced Watch Card
```jsx
import { LuxuryCard, AnimatedNumber, PremiumTooltip } from './components/LuxuryInteractions';
import { useHaptic } from './components/LuxuryInteractions';

function WatchCard({ watch }) {
  const { triggerHaptic } = useHaptic();

  const handleClick = () => {
    triggerHaptic('light');
    onWatchSelect(watch);
  };

  return (
    <LuxuryCard
      onClick={handleClick}
      glowColor="rgba(200, 16, 46, 0.3)"
      className="overflow-hidden"
    >
      <img src={watch.imageUrl} alt={watch.model} />

      <div className="p-6">
        <h3 className="text-2xl font-bold text-gradient-omega">
          {watch.model}
        </h3>

        <PremiumTooltip content="Current market price">
          <div className="mt-4">
            <span className="text-sm text-gray-500">Current Price</span>
            <div className="text-3xl font-bold text-omega-red">
              <AnimatedNumber
                value={watch.currentPrice}
                prefix="$"
                duration={1500}
              />
            </div>
          </div>
        </PremiumTooltip>
      </div>
    </LuxuryCard>
  );
}
```

### Example 2: Accessible Filter System
```jsx
import { MobileFilterDrawer, TouchButton } from './components/MobileEnhancements';
import { AccessibleModal } from './components/AccessibilityEnhancements';

function FilterSystem() {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <TouchButton
        onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}
        icon={<FiFilter />}
        aria-label="Open filters"
      >
        Filters
      </TouchButton>

      <MobileFilterDrawer
        isOpen={isOpen}
        onClose={() => setIsOpen(false)}
      >
        <FilterContent />
      </MobileFilterDrawer>
    </>
  );
}
```

### Example 3: Premium Dashboard
```jsx
import { CinematicReveal, AnimatedStatCard } from './components/LuxuryDataVisualizations';
import { WatchMechanismLoader } from './components/LuxuryLoadingStates';

function Dashboard({ statistics, loading }) {
  if (loading) {
    return <WatchMechanismLoader size="lg" />;
  }

  return (
    <div className="space-y-8">
      <CinematicReveal delay={0}>
        <h1 className="text-5xl font-bold text-gradient-omega">
          Omega Collection
        </h1>
      </CinematicReveal>

      <div className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-4 gap-6">
        <AnimatedStatCard
          title="Total Watches"
          value={statistics.totalWatches}
          icon="⌚"
          color="omega-red"
        />
        <AnimatedStatCard
          title="Average Appreciation"
          value={statistics.avgAppreciation}
          suffix="%"
          icon="📈"

        />
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
```

## Best Practices

### 1. Performance
- Use `useMemo` and `useCallback` for expensive operations
- Lazy load images with `loading="lazy"`
- Code split large components
- Use CSS `contain` property for layout isolation

### 2. Animations
- Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` preference
- Keep animations under 500ms for micro-interactions
- Use luxury easing: `cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94)`
- Apply `will-change` sparingly and remove after animation

### 3. Accessibility
- Test with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
- Ensure keyboard navigation works for all features
- Maintain 4.5:1 contrast ratio minimum
- Provide text alternatives for all images
- Use semantic HTML (`<nav>`, `<main>`, `<article>`)

### 4. Mobile
- Test on real devices, not just DevTools
- Consider network conditions (slow 3G)
- Optimize images (WebP format, responsive sizes)
- Use touch-friendly spacing (minimum 48px)
- Implement proper viewport meta tag

### 5. Luxury Brand Feel
- Consistent use of Omega brand colors
- Premium shadows and gradients
- Smooth, elegant animations
- High-quality imagery
- Attention to micro-details
- Polish every interaction
