11 Gifts Precisely Tuned for Finicky Watch Lovers





What do you get for the person who has everything? Nothing. You get them nothing, because they have everything. They are total pains in the ass around the holidays. You know who’s almost as bad? Watch people. Because even though they don’t have everything, they want another Patek Phillipe 5038. The perpetual calendar. White gold is fine, and it’s a bargain—no, an investment!—at $50,000 used. Or, if you must get something new, an FP Journe is a steal at $37 G’s, and now is the time, you know, because François-Paul is still putting his hands on each one of these things. It is like talking to the coffee pot in the psych ward.

OK, breathe. Now, seek to understand these people: They are lovers of machines and collectors of wearable art. They embrace anachronism when it is framed in beauty. And even though you should almost definitely not go watch-shopping, it is possible to get the Timepiece aficionado in your life a gift that will support his living La Vida Tourbillon without a taking a trip to the loan shark.
