WATCHES

A round case, a warm tone, and a leather strap for dinner rather than the gym.

Stick markers, a thin profile, and a dial that stays quiet under a cuff.

A pale dial and a light mesh bracelet for warm days and a linen jacket.

Brushed and polished links, a dark dial, and no extra subdials to explain.

One metal tone from the lugs to the clasp. Best when the end links actually meet the case.

A dial that changes with the light. Look for crisp printing before you look for a story.

The strap does half the work. A standard lug width means you can change it later.

A chain, a hunter-free face, and a waistcoat if you are that kind of evening.
