Time to share: Watches you can gift AND share with your father

These handsome timepieces will not only make good Father’s Day gift ideas, they’re also great for when you need to jazz up your own ensemble. After all, sharing is caring, right?

Time to share: Watches you can gift AND share with your father
Happy Father's Day!
image

Wallets, perfumes and cufflinks. Sure, these are failsafe presents for your upcoming Father’s Day celebrations (in case you’ve forgotten all about it, it’s happening this Sunday).

But if you’re on the lookout for something extra special that you know, you can share with him, we’d suggest getting him one of the following timepieces.

Why? Well firstly, they’re practical (they tell the time) and complete a man’s outfit (just like how jewellery completes yours).

But more importantly, the designs that you’ll see as you slide through this gallery are also the type of watches that you can later ‘borrow’ from your dad and wear for yourself.

Or think of it this way. It’s a lot like pinching shirts from your boyfriend’s wardrobe and wearing them on yourself. Want proof that women can rock men’s timepieces with aplomb?

Stylish entrepreneur Rachel Lim, for example, is a fan of big and boyish watches as she revealed in our exclusive video interview with her here.

Piaget Altiplano Watch, price unavailable
image

There are two reasons why the Piaget Altiplano Watch caught our eyes.

First, the luxury watchmaker has cleverly paired the charming watch with an even more charming ambassador, Hu Ge.

Second, the watch boasts an ultra-thin aesthetic which will make an excellent choice for dads who aren’t fans of chunky and cumbersome timepieces.

This one, specially made for the Altiplano range’s 60th birthday, is in white gold and limited to only 260 pieces worldwide. So if you want you dad to feel like the most special man in the world, don’t wait and get this already!

Louis Vuitton Tambour Moon GMT Black, Steel and Pink Gold 41.5, $9,850
image

Fun fact: French luxury label Louis Vuitton made its first watchmaking venture with the debut of its Tambour timepiece in 2002.

Its rounded silhouette, which vaguely resembles that of a drum, quickly won the hearts of serious Louis Vuitton fans.

Fast forward to today and we have the new Tambour Moon. The gorgeous design – all sensuous curves and concave edges – elevates the timepiece into a wearable work of art.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40, $46,830
image

When it comes to luxury watches, Rolex is one of the most renowned and distinctive brands to top our list (or any list, let’s be frank).

Speaking of being distinctive, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 in yellow gold stands out immediately for its bold yet understated hue, making it an impressive and truly unforgettable accessory for your dad.

Bulgari Bulgari Solotempo, $8,650
image

For a versatile watch that’ll bring your dad from office meetings to golf clubs, turn to the Bulgari Bulgari Solotempo.

Its navy alligator leather strap and blue dial offer a slightly more casual appeal (but sophisticated nonetheless) compared to your usual watches wrought from precious metal.

Cartier Tank Solo Watch, $3,600
image

Thanks to its simple design, the Cartier Tank Solo Watch will never look out of style or out of place, no matter when or where your dad wears it.

If Papa’s the practical sort, he’ll be glad to learn that the strap is interchangeable; this means he won’t have to splurge on a new watch to get a new look for his wrist on days when he wants to switch things up a little.

Patek Philippe World Time, price unavailable
image

For the globetrotting dad, the Patek Philippe World Time watch is going to be one truly useful accessory.

If you find the dial looking a lot busier than other watches, that’s because this intelligent timepiece displays an eye-popping 24 different time zones — on top of the local time.

Configuring the watch is a cinch, too; simply press the pusher at 10 o’clock repeatedly until the destination time zone of the city you’re in hits the 12 o’clock mark.

IWC Schaffhausen Da Vinci Automatic, $9,550
image

Some dads love watch complications; others prefer something more streamlined.

IWC Schaffhausen’s Da Vinci Automatic definitely suits the latter sort of dad. Its stainless steel body and slate-coloured dial make dressing up for boardroom meetings an incredibly easy affair for just about any man.

Just match it with a dapper suit and he’s good to go.
