Three tips from Michael
Sandler, senior vice
president of merchandising
and strategic planning
at Tourneau:Start with lifestyle
Yours, that is. “Think
about where you’ll wear
a watch: Do you want
something dressy and
elegant, or sporty?”
Set a budget
Decide between a short-
or long-term purchase:
“You can get a nice watch
at any price point, but at
the higher end, you’re paying
for materials, like solid
gold versus gold plating.”
Additionally, the work-
manship of the better Swiss
timepieces and carefully
crafted mechanical move-
ment drive higher costs.
Stay open-minded
“Try on lots of shapes
and colors to see what looks
good on your wrist.
One will speak to you, and
you will fall in love.”
