Six watches that have one thing in common: they don't get put in a drawer.
"The watch you give your father is the one your kids will eventually inherit."
FAQ
- What kind of watch do dads actually wear?
- Something he can put on once and forget — robust steel case, sapphire crystal, a strap that handles weekends and the office. Avoid anything precious that needs babying.
- What size watch for my dad?
- Most men wear 40–44mm. If he has a slimmer wrist or you've seen him in dress shirts, go 38–40mm. When in doubt, 42mm is the safe centre.
- Mechanical, automatic, or quartz?
- Automatic if he likes the idea of a watch that runs on his movement. Quartz if he travels often or wants to put it down for weeks. Both are honest choices.
- Should I engrave it?
- Yes — a short message or date on the caseback. He'll see it every time he takes the watch off.
