The dapper man appreciates the little details that separate a great product from a good one. He has to, otherwise he wouldn’t have spent hundreds on hand-stitched leather boots or jackets made from British wool. That certainly makes him an intimidating man to buy gifts for, but stick to the basics and you can’t go wrong. Classic styles, quality materials and thorough craftsmanship will always be “fashionable.”
Timex Fairfield Chronograph
A good everyday watch should serve as a wardrobe accoutrement, not an overpowering showpiece, which is what makes the refreshingly reserved Fairfield Chronograph an ideal option. Despite boasting a chronograph function, the dial remains a clean-cut look that complements the watch’s sleek round case. A perforated tan leather strap is merely the bow on top of this classy, Bauhaus-inspired package.
