A fine timepiece is the perfect
way to commemorate the early
accomplishments of a man’s
formative years. Not only as a
symbolic gesture, but a practical
one. Consider giing a dress
watch on a classic leather strap
something understated and
pedigreed, which can be worn in
professional environments, from
internships to job interviews,
and during formal events. It’ll
help give that new grad the
polish (and added confidence) to
start chasing the career they’ve
always wanted.

TIMELESS


EVERYONE KNOWS SOMEONE WHO DESERVES AN EXCEPTIONAL WRISTWATCH


For decades, buying a pre-owned timepiece meant perusing pawn shops, weeding through dubious web domains, or
paying a premium at auction. Then retailers like Crown & Caliber showed us a better way: verified-authentic, modern-classic
watches from top brands including OMEGA, Breitling, Panerai, Cartier, and TAG Heuer, all offered online and under warranty.
They’ve made it easier than ever to give the gift of a fine timepiece. The challenge now isn’t so much finding the right watch,
but deciding which person should receive it. Need some suggestions? Here are a few potential candidates.


The arrival of a child is as
memorable as moments get. It’s
the perfect time to celebrate the
present, while also turning an eye
toward the future. Give the new
father (or mother) a timepiece
that speaks to the values they’ll
want handed down, and have the
caseback engraved with a special
message. They can stash the
watch away for safe-keeping or
wear it around to develop a nice
patina for posterity. Either way,
it’ll make a lasting impression
and kick off an important
tradition within a growing family.

Maybe it’s a spouse. Maybe
it’s a mentor, an apprentice, or
just a close friend. Each year
brings an opportunity to
give that important person
a keepsake on their birthday.
Here, think about what the
relationship means to you: Is it
durable, like a steel or titanium
case-and-bracelet combination?
Adventurous, like a sporty pilot
watch, or elegant in its simplicity,
like a smart two-hand design?
No matter what you decide,
odds are Crown & Caliber’s
expansive inventory has a watch
to fit the bill.

giing, and this one’s just for you.
