The Husband: Men’s Watches

Men only get a handful of accessory options to choose from… Sunglasses, cuff links, wedding bands and watches. Wrist watches are perhaps the most important style element a man can choose from, so make it count! Since this purchase will last you a lifetime, It’s important to choose the right watch. You should have one classic watch that fits into your lifestyle or a few time pieces, for example: one for work and another for play. You might ask yourself… On what occasions are you wearing this watch? What attire are you considering it for? What kind of function do you want? Metal or Leather straps?

 Set a high budget and invest in the one of a kind of craftsmanship that produces hand finished mechanical movements and precious metals like 18k rose or yellow gold. When your watch has a big price tag, you should expect a little something extra from it. Look for a unique design, something as intricate as a moon phase or as simple as a chronograph and a limited production number from serious watch makers.

The following are sophisticated and distinctive watches that would fit in perfectly to any husband’s wardrobe. Theses luxury watches might cost you a pretty penny, but will last a generations, making timeless family heirlooms. From Jaeger LeCoultre, the most famous Swiss watchmaker to rare vintage timepieces and the ever popular Rolex, these extravagant watches with their exclusive design will have you clamoring to invest in your next big purchase. -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE in collaboration with LoveGold
