The holiday season is upon us, and there’s no better time to elevate your wrist game or as the song goes, give it to someone special. Whether you're seeking classic elegance, modern innovation, or festive charm, choosing the right Christmas watch requires careful consideration. In this list, we’ve curated the top five watches, not in any particular order, that capture the magic of the season, using the following key criteria to guide our selection:
Design Appeal: Keeping to festivities, our top most priority would be the aesthetic design. Watches that embody the spirit of Christmas through color schemes and festive motifs will score bonus points. We want to capture the colourful yet dreamy nights of Christmas.
Versatility: Even so, a great consideration has to be the watches’ versatility outside of Christmas. Watch is a heavy investment, and we want people to enjoy it all year round whilst keeping to festivities. Adding on, we want to look for unisex sizing watches to be given for either gender or have options that swings one way or the other.
Craftsmanship and Value: We here at Gnomonwatches believe in buying what you like. That said, who doesn’t like watches with great value that offer unbeatable craftsmanship. Our selection take into account the price to quality consideration, aiming to offer you nothing but the best.
