Thanksgiving is upon us, and while the Black Friday sale is the one to watch out for after the festivities. Most discounts are really good at this time of the year, but getting a present for your loved one without the sale, sends a message to them that they’re indeed loved and treasured. Forget about everything else at the moment and hear us out: get her a watch.
A watch maybe not the most creative idea – we all know it’s been a stalwart for gift-giving since the dawn of the tradition, but classics are there because they never fail to impress as well as express what you want the person to know about your feelings toward them. Getting her a watch is not a cop-out, it’s a classic romantic gesture.
Watch shopping for women is extremely different when compared to watch shopping for men. Women have different styles, they have their own biases, and color choices are a lot more important to them than men’s. There are a lot of items on the checklist that needs to be checked, so here are some surefire, fail-proof options for you:
Patek Nautilus 7010/1R-001
Most men would swoon when hearing that they will be given a Patek. But most women won’t have the slightest idea of how prestigious and respected this brand of watchmaker is. Only a handful of women will be impressed with the brand’s name. But know what she will be instantly impressed with is? The sheer beauty and elegance of the timepiece.
The Nautilus 7010 is a good-looking watch. The watch face is lined with 46 diamonds, with options of rose gold and gold for trimmings. It’s no slouch technically either, as it’s in quartz movement with a 60m water resistance. She can pair it with almost everything in her closet, and it’s a conversation starter when worn to formal events.
Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Small
If the Patek is a beauty, the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Small is otherworldly. It’s a watch screaming of luxury – from the 100+ diamonds filling in the watch face to the white gold band, it’s a watch primed for case viewing more so than wearing it. She’ll think you’ve given her the moon if you gift her this watch, and honestly, that’s not an exaggeration.
Available only by request, this timepiece will certainly set you back a couple of thousands of dollars. But with the quality of the watch that you’re getting? We say it’s a fine tradeoff. Under the hood, the Traditionnelle is manual-winding, with a certification from the Hallmark of Geneva.
Boasting of an aggregate 92+ carat weight, with at most 1418 diamonds, she’ll never need any luxury watch in her lifetime. Add to that an 18k white gold for the hour and minute hands and she’s all set to all the socialite parties that she’ll attend. Truly, the Traditionelle is one of the best representations of peak luxury jewelry watches in the market today.
Gucci Les Marché Des Merveilles Secret Diamond Watch
Got the drift yet? All of the watches in this list have one thing in common: Diamonds. Because as corny as the adage goes that diamonds are forever, it’s also the universal truth. Put diamonds in watches and it’s over. Women will love it. Make a great watch with a truly beautiful and aesthetically-pleasing look? It’ll be a hit.
The Les Marche Secret diamond watch is perfect for the girl that has a little more subtlety to her. The watch face is covered with the iconic tiger from Gucci, with a band that’s unassuming yet still screams of class. There’s an option for a steel band, which turns the watch into looking like a bangle.
Inside the watch is a mother of pearl dial, like the ones used in some of Omega’s Constellation line of watches. The movement is in quartz and has a standard 2-year warranty. Changing batteries should be a breeze, and you also get a water resistance feature for up to 100 feet.
Takeaway
Elegant wrist watches have been in fashion for both men and women for centuries, and it will be in fashion for centuries more. Although the future is certainly for smartwatches, the beauty of traditionally-made luxury wristwatches has still maintained a certain charm and aura to them that needs to parlay to smartwatches.
