I don’t know about you, but buying presents always makes me very happy. The anticipation of choosing a perfect gift and happy faces when unwrapping it. Often it is easy; My brother likes good whiskey, so that choice is easy, but my sister-in-law needs a new watch. It is a lot more difficult to make such a personal choice. However, looking for a suitable watch does not have to be difficult. With these tips, everyone can find the perfect watch gift!
Tip 1: Use wish lists and spies
A bit of an obvious idea, but it is of course easiest if the person you want to buy a gift for already has a specific watch on his or her wish list. If that is not the case, there is no shame in hiring a spy! Have a partner, parent or good friend inquire carefully. This way you have a better idea of what you are looking for.
Tip 2: What is her/his favorite brand?
Is the person you are looking for a watch for a fan of a particular brand? Does he always wear Hugo Boss suits? Or does she have a Michael Kors bag that she always carries with her? Then these brands are a good place to start.
Also look at brands with a similar image, for example Emporio Armani in addition to Hugo Boss or Tommy Hilfiger in addition to Michael Kors.
Tip 3: Style and personality
Perhaps the most important tip: choose a watch that matches the style of the wearer. Tough or classically elegant. Sporty or technical. There is a brand or type of watch that suits every personality. For example:
Visit our ‘Shop the Style’ page for more style ideas.
And, color is important too! If you choose a neutral color such as silver, gold, rose or black, the watch will match almost any clothing style. Does the recipient have a favorite color? Then choose a watch with a colored dial, for example, or with a different color strap.
On our site you can also filter your selection of watches by color.
Tip 4: How do you know what the size of the watch should be?
If you do not know the wrist size of the person for whom the watch is intended, it is best to choose a watch with a strap that does not need to be shortened. For example, a leather or silicone strap. Would you rather have a metal band? Mesh straps with a sliding (or Milanese) closure can easily be adjusted to the correct size by the wearer themselves!
Did you know that we custom-make (metal) link belts for you free of charge when you order? Then secretly measure an old watch of the recipient. You can measure the inside of the watch with a sheet of paper. With many metal straps, the wearer can adjust the closure a little.
