WATCHES

The watch word of the month: versatility.

LET’S SAY YOU’RE ONLY GOING TO INVEST IN ONE WATCH THIS YEAR — maybe it’s your first real timepiece, just to make the stakes that much higher — you have a lot of options. Do you go for something flashy, or classic? Buttoned down, or bling? It’s actually simple: choose a classic. A clean, uncomplicated face, medium size, and leather strap are features that will make your timepiece a versatile and indispensible companion, one that can be worn day or night, with a suit or peeking out of a sensible bomber. They are classics for a reason.
