A good watch makes the perfect investment piece, which is why you want to consider carefully before you decide which one to go for. Our curated selection includes options that work for everyday and for occasions, while still providing an effortlessly polished look.
Of course, classic timepieces also make ideal presents or for self-gifting, which we’re all for this year. If shopping for a loved one, depending on their jewellery preferences they may prefer a classic leather strap, or if they’re active a sports watch will work best.
