Gift Ideas for Watch Lovers

Rolex Datejust 41 and Rolex Daytona Mother of Pearl Dials

The Watch-Loving Couple

Watches have been traditionally divided into men’s and women’s styles, but these lines have been blurred in recent years. With the increasing number of women who favor larger watches, customers have chosen to ignore gendered categories and go instead for watches that speak to their personal style. For the watch-loving pair in your life, we recommend a gender-neutral watch that they can both enjoy wearing. Rolex Datejust 41 and Rolex Daytona with mother of pearl dials have just the right combination of elegance and edge.

The Water Junkie

We all have that loved one who spends their weekends by the ocean, on a yacht, or exploring the deep seas. No matter how serious they are with their water sport, you can’t go wrong with a diver’s watch. A true diver’s timepiece would have at least 300m of water resistance – allowing one to switch from different water activities without having to take off their watch. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re classically designed and wouldn’t look out of place with casual or even professional settings. Perfect for the one who juggles his time between work and play.

The Adrenaline Junkie

It’s pretty common for the worlds of watches, racing, and aviation to cross. The ingredients for success are the same – precision, excellent craftsmanship, and performance – and it’s these same traits that drive hobbyists to love them. For the adrenaline junkie in your life, a chronograph or racing inspired watch will always come in handy. Take it a notch further with a rattrapante — the split-seconds hand makes it possible to record intermediate times.

The Jet-Setter

There’s one constant problem for the air mile-hoarding, globetrotting person in your life – the disorienting changes in time zones. If you love someone who frequently flies from one continent to another, and who maybe works with people from across the globe, you can help them keep it straight (despite a jet-lagged brain!) with a world time watch. With an internal bezel showing 24 time zones, they can easily tell time at any place in the world, with just one glance.

The Seasoned Collector

Many watch enthusiasts start off their collection with the most popular brands like Rolex and Omega. As they fill their watch box with the pieces that everybody wants, they usually begin to set their sights on the more elusive, long-standing Maisons. If you want to impress that VIP watch aficionado in your life, haute horlogerie brands are the answer. These luxury houses are considered the cream of the crop, with a combination of heritage, expertise, and prestige that command a higher price tag.
