Watches to WATCH out for by Charlotte Adams

In the past couple of months, new watches have been released but three have really stood out from the crowd.

3. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore LeBron James limited edition
Last year Audemars Piguet announced LeBron James, a professional American basketball player, as their new brand ambassador. To honour this announcement, and LeBron James, they have developed a new 600 piece limited edition dedicated to him.

Like LeBron James, the size of the watch is large with a 18-carat rose gold 44m diameter case. Not only is the case large, the bezel is made from titanium- lightweight titanium so it isn’t heavy on the wrist. The dial is also has a grey “Méga Tapisserie” pattern which gives it an edge and makes it appear like metal. To give this watch a softer touch, diamonds are also set on a push-piece at the side of the case at the 2 o’clock mark.

2. TAG Heuer Carrera Jack Heuer edition

Yet another watch made for dedication purposes, this new TAG Heuer celebrates the 80^th birthday of TAG’s chairman Jack Heuer. The design has elements from Formula One and Jack Heuer’s coat of arms and signature are imprinted onto the sapphire crystal case back. Through the sapphire crystal case back the 39-jewel Calibre 1887 movement can be seen, a movement that vibrates 28,800 times per hour and has a 50-hour power reserve.

1.Bremont Codebreaker

Released only this month, Bremont have a new limited edition watch. Only 240 steel versions have been made and there are 50 rose gold versions.

One of the most interesting watches released in 2013, the watch’s movement is made from pieces of Enigma machines from World War II that were used to decipher secret German codes. The serial number on the case of each watch is made from original punch cards which we used to analyse the coded date from the Enigma machines.

Watches to suit any budget by Charlotte Adams

It is no surprise that giving a watch as a gift is popular due to its sentimentality and thankfully watches are never outdated. It is a perfect present for a man who has no idea what he wants or if the inevitable situation of not knowing what to buy arises.

The Enter Price

Casio are an extremely large business who have dipped their feet into making a variety of different products, from calculators to musical instruments. Their watches, however, are a famous part of the Casio company. It is gold tone steel and features a stopwatch, alarm, auto-calendar and a backlight. It is also water resistant up to 50 metres.

Non-expensive gift

Bulova are a prestigious watch-making brand that makes watches that sell for over £1,000. This watch, however, is under £150 yet looks very expensive and as luxurious as more expensive watches. It has a two-toned gold and steel bracelet that is highly in fashion now and also, like the Raymond Weil watch, has a ‘clous de Paris’ centre on the black dial with the date at the 3 mark. The gold crown, hands and markers make it even more special for that loved one.

Slightly expensive gift:

Dreyfuss & Co watches are both elegant and timeless and so unique that each piece is numbered on the case back. What also makes this watch unique is the amazing skeleton dial that shows the majority of the watches movements.

Dreyfuss & Co are also renowned for their extreme water resistance which they call the Seafarer Standard. This standard means it can be used for any activity or sport involving water- whether it’s diving or having a hot bath.

Expensive gift

The Raymond Weil ‘Freelancer’ Automatic is extremely elegant and attractive. At the 12 mark is a dial that allows the observation of the balance wheel, a magnificent display. Uniquely, it also has ‘clous de Paris’ decoration in the centre of the black dial which gives the watch a rebellious and modern look.

When it comes to purchasing a watch as a gift, the box it comes in also has an importance as you want it to look attractive for the person opening the present. The Raymond Weil box is black and white- simple, smart and presentable. It folds out with ease displaying the watch on a black cushion
