CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR MEN - Luxury Watches

Each and every Christmas, thousands of shoppers are faced with the same quandary: what do you buy for the discerning man who has everything? Like fast cars and sharp suits, luxury watches are a universal status symbol that will give a man pleasure for years to come. (And unlike fast cars and sharp suits, a well-made luxury timepiece is an investment that will almost certainly be worth more in years to come!) Here are five timepieces that will make perfect gifts for men this holiday season...

GUCCI G-TIMELESS With BlACK DIAL, £495

The House of Gucci added watches to its line-up of luxury goods in the 1970's, and have since carved a formidable reputation for striking wristwear. This classic offering from the Italian fashion label features a Swiss-made quartz movement, a 38mm stainless steel case and a 4’o clock date window that makes room for the subtle ‘G’ logo on the dial. It’s also available with a polished steel dial. This is an understated choice that will be perfect for the office.

RAYMOND WEIL TANGO CHRONOGRAPH STEEL ON LEATHER STRAP, £950

One of the few remaining family-owned independent Swiss watchmakers, Raymond Weil pride themselves on elegance and comfort. The Tango collection ticks both boxes, and this steel chrono features a quartz chronograph movement, double date dial, gorgeous brown leather strap and a feint “sweet pink” dial. Perfect for the man who appreciates simple design and reliable functionality, TIME² also stocks this watch with a steel bracelet.

TAG HEUER AQUARACER CALIBRE 16 BLACK CHRONOGRAPH, £1,950

A brand with a strong sporting heritage, TAG Heuer have been producing groundbreaking precision instruments for over 150 years. Their Aquaracer collection is designed for those who love watersports – this automatic chronograph is water resistant to 300m, features luminescent hands for maximum readability, and the fine-brushed bracelet even has a diving extension for safety. Although designed to withstand the harshest of underwater environments, the Aquaracer wouldn’t look out of place teamed with a suit or a casual weekend ensemble.

BELL & ROSS BR01-92 RED RADAR, £3,800

French artisans Bell & Ross specialise in instruments for “extreme professions” – they provide watches for bomb disposal experts, national security agents and even astronauts. Their instantly recognisable Aviation collection is defined by oversized square cases, practical rubber straps and unparalleled legibility. Perhaps their most stunning piece is the limited-edition BR01-92 Red Radar, which displays the time in the fashion of a military radar. A fine choice for the man who likes something a little different.

IWC PORTOFINO HAND-WOUND EIGHT DAYS, £7,250

For a truly special gift, opt for a piece from the revered International Watch Company (IWC). This Portofino watch features a sublime hand-wound mechanical movement that encompasses 30 jewels, and a striking dark brown alligator leather strap. As the name suggests, it has an incredible eight-day power reserve – and a useful power reserve indicator on the elegantly appointed dial. Another exceptional Portofino collection piece available at TIME² is the limited-edition Vintage, which features a moonphase dial and accuracy divergence of just one day in 122 years. As its limited to only 500 pieces, this is sure to be a worthy investment.
