Dad’s New Gucci Watch
Honestly, I never thought I’d be telling people about how enamored my father was by Gucci watches. Generally he’s what you might call a “tough guy.” He’s John Q. Lunchpale. He’s gruff and he doesn’t generally find joy in the finer things in life. I’ve never seen him drink a glass of wine or watch a French movie. He moans every time he’s asked to where a tie. But there he was soaking in the moment Mom handed him that beautifully wrapped birthday gift.
It just goes to show you that something as well crafted as luxury watches can impress anyone. I think that’s why they make such amazing gifts. Just like with a girlfriend or Mom, you can never go wrong with some jewelery. When it comes to a man, a watch will always be special.
I’ve discussed this with my friends and dads are infamously harder to shop for. I think the pressure of just being patriarchal might just weigh on them so much that they stop really wanting things. So when you’ve run out of gift options, when you know that he’ll never really watch that Lost Series Box Set and he has a closet full of ties, it’s time to consider a watch. There are lots of great options. If I was buying a watch for myself, it might be Philip Stein watches (ahem wife hint).
