How to Find the Perfect Gift
To find the perfect gift for your loved one, it helps to think about who they are and what they love. What’s their personality? How do they spend their time at work and at home? To make things even easier, we’ve chosen the perfect gifts for five different personalities.
The Adventurer
If you’re gifting for the kind of person who loves all things action and adventure, then you’ll need to find the perfect piece to compliment their lifestyle. When shopping at a higher price point, you’ll want to make sure this piece is designed to last. In fine jewelry and watches this is exactly what you will get.
For the adventurous man you will want a classic sports watch to accompany your loved one on their journeys. There are tremendous options in this category from pilot watches to diving watches, there’s a pick for any hobby. Some of our favorites include the Rolex Submariner and the Omega Speedmaster.
For the adventurous woman, we would also recommend a sports watch. Our favorites include the Chanel J12 or Michele Sport Sail.
The Working Professional
If your loved one is all business, then they probably need a dress watch to match their professional attire. These watches are typically simple and refined in style. You’ll want to find a watch that is built to last a lifetime of meetings and trips.
For the businessman you will need to find an elegant dress watch. The dial should be relatively flat and not too large. The watch should fit under the sleeve of a shirt along with a suit jacket. A Cartier Tank is a safe choice. However, the ultimate men’s dress watch is the Patek Philippe Calatrava. For the businesswoman, we recommend something simple and elegant like a Cartier Ballon Bleu or a Rolex Datejust.
The Trendsetter
If you’re shopping for a person who’s constantly pushing the boundaries of their wardrobe, then they’re probably a trendsetter. It’s hard to shop for a person who loves fashions before they’ve hit the mainstream. But we have a few suggestions for you!
For the Fashion Week fashionista, you’ll want to hit on the hottest trends from the runway. This year we saw an abundance of oversized earrings and necklaces gracing the catwalk. Our favorite enormous earrings are massive Chanel earrings and we’re sure your loved one will enjoy them too!
For the fashionable fellow, you’ll need to find a trendy watch and that’s sometimes hard to come by. Often, as in the case of Rolex, the designs change very little through the years, making a fashion-forward fine watch somewhat hard to pinpoint. Many watch enthusiasts are choosey when it comes to their favorite brands. However, many new collectors and first-time buyers like the vintage-yet-modern look of the Panerai Luminor.
The Vintage Lover
For those who love a throwback, the options are nearly endless. There’s a beautiful and charming allure to an old, classic piece whether it’s jewelry or a watch. The worn and loved look appeals to many and if you’re shopping for one of those people, it may be hard to know where to start.
If your loved one is a jewelry lover, then find out their favorite designer. A beautiful piece by a favorite jeweler will hold a lot of sentimental and monetary value. If you can’t find out their favorite jeweler, then perhaps find a piece from their favorite era, whether it’s 1970 or 1870.
For vintage watch fans, if you can find out their favorite watchmaker and model, then you can find a perfect vintage piece. If you are struggling to find a favorite brand or style, then a birth year watch is always a safe bet. This is a watch that was made in the year that the wearer was born.
