Sporty, classic, luxury – take your pick from our handsome selection. Perhaps you’re looking for something he can update in a few years time. Perhaps this gift could become an heirloom, so you’re looking to spend a little more and give him a watch he’ll still be wearing at your ruby anniversary. Oh the romance!
