If giving a man a special present is not easy, what more if it’s a gift for his impending wedding? Among the traditional, popular, and safest presents to gift a groom is a wristwatch. It is safe because most men are attuned to complement their outfits with their ever-reliable timepieces. You may not see guys wearing ties, hats, bracelets, rings, or necklaces regularly, but most likely, they are proud to sport their wristwatches, especially if they are sophisticated, sensible, and special. So, what’s the best type of watch to gift a groom? Ask yourself these questions before marching to the nearest watch shop.
Why will he keep your timepiece?
This question might seem unusual. The answer is obviously and plainly to check time, not to mention it is from a close friend. The point is, why will he wear the wristwatch you give? If he owns two or more watches, why will he choose to use and keep yours? So, it must be timeless in terms of design and quality. It must be something that he can pass to his son, to his grandson as an heirloom. It must be qualified as classy or a collector’s item. For this matter, it is safe to consider those created by reputable brands, especially Swiss luxury watchmakers such as Tissot, Rado, and Frédérique Constant. Swiss watches are not popular because of their superb watchmaking or horology and capacity to last for decades. Try to find a watch that he can appreciate even if he is not a watch aficionado, something that is impossible for him to part ways with.
Is it something fit for his formal attire?
If you are having a hard time choosing from the many possible watches to gift a groom, go for the timepiece that fits his wedding attire such as Barong Tagalog or tuxedo. If your gift is the one he wears on his wedding day, this will be memorable for him. It’s also the accessory that appears on his wedding photos, souvenir, and video. It’s something he will have an emotional connection to.
In addition to your consideration is that the watch should also look good with any of his formal ensembles, especially his work or business attire. Of course, you want your gift to be something useful rather than just a display item, right? If that’s the case, you have to choose a timepiece with minimalist design, analog dial, neutral in color, and leather strap. This is suit to his barong and business suit, and even out of town business casual attire.
What he’s into?27
The groom’s passion or interest is another good basis for the watch you will give to him. There are men who are sporty, gym buffs, or into adventure. The best timepiece to gift a groom that fits those descriptions is a hybrid of a formal and sports watch. But you don’t necessarily give him a “very sports watch.” It can be just a sports-like formal watch with a strong case, bezel, and strap. If he’s a travel-type groom, you can choose a formal type of watch but with GMT and date complications.
Buying the best watch to gift a groom would entail you to consider many options. Before saying “I’ll take it” to a seller, it would be good to take the time to know exactly why you are buying this gift in the first place. Of course, you want to make it special, so make it something that complements the groom. But, consider practical things as well such as if it is an authorized seller and if it comes with a warranty as this is a gift that is also an investment. At Tempus, you can be sure that the watch you get is genuine and something that will last as long as the groom’s marriage.
