The ultimate accessory for any fashionista these days has to be a timeless watch and they come in many shapes, sizes, guises and prices. It’s often the only piece of jewellery worn by a man apart from his wedding ring.
There’s a watch out there for everyone, no matter what the budget and with such a variety of styles around to suit your individual taste you really are spoilt for choice; from the classic Rolex design to the ostentatious diamond studded Jacob & Co watches now favoured by many a celebrity.
Watches can match your mood and outfits, from casual daytime watches to sophisticated evening ones.
If money is no object have a look at Panarai, Breitling, Harry Winston’s and Rolexes for the men and for the ladies Baume & Mercier, J&Co, Cartier and Patek Phillipe.
These high-end timepieces are also an astute investment with many increasing in value with age, so choose carefully.
Mid range offerings from Tag Heuer and Omega are very nice and will last a lifetime. If your purse strings are tighter, G-shock from Casio or Fossil and Swatch watches offer great value and fun.
One way of jumping into the high-end market on a budget is to seek out vintage models of your favourite Rolexes, Cartiers and Pateks, these are available at a reduced cost and are enjoying a well-deserved revival, and in particular, models from the 40s and 50s are now becoming popular so be quick!
Watch reminders

l Buy a watch charm to add some sparkle.
