GIFT INSPIRATION - What To Buy Your Boyfriend This Christmas!

BEN SHERMAN BLACK CHRONOGRAPH, £60

Seminal British brand Ben Sherman have been dressing discerning ‘mods’ since the 60's, and their trendy watches are perfectly suited to those partial to a parka jacket and a Paul Weller album. This chronograph features a classic black leather strap, luminous hands set on a black textured background, and a 42mm case that demands attention. At just £60, this is incredible value.

MARC JACOBS ROUND BLACK DIAL ACRYLIC CASE, £125

As one of the most powerful players in the fashion industry, Marc Jacobs knows how to put together a good-looking accessory. Made from highly on-trend acrylic, this black quartz piece is simple enough to work at the office, yet quirky enough to accompany jeans and a polo shirt in the pub. But best of all, it’s a unisex design, so you can share it!

TENDENCE GULLIVER ROUND FUNKY 50MM LUMINOUS STRAP, £240

If your boyfriend is an outside-the-box thinker who likes to zig when others zag, a Tendence timepiece could be the perfect choice. The young Swiss brand’s flagship range is the Gulliver, featuring a unique deep-dish style face with 3D numerals, set within a huge 50mm stainless steel and polycarbonate case. There’s nothing else quite like it. If the luminous green is too outrageous, TIME² stock the Gulliver in blue or black.

TW STEEL CEO GOLIATH CHRONOGRAPH, £475

Dutch watchmaker TW Steel operates under one simple maxim: bigger is better. The aptly named Goliath features a 51mm case, huge numerals, a chunky crown and oversized buttons. These extroverted, sporty features are juxtaposed by the rose-gold plating, square casing and the roman numerals of a classic piece from centuries gone by. It’s a melting pot of old and new styles that’s guaranteed to garner compliments.

WELDER K29 8000 CHRONOGRAPH, £800

If you truly want to spoil him, leave a finely crafted piece from Italian brand Welder under the tree. Powered by a superb Japanese miyota movement, and featuring three separate dials (two of which are chronographs), an ultra-durable 53mm PVD case and a left-sided crown, the 8000 is about as unconventional as a watch can get. The K29 series is also available in straight-black and red on black.
