We know—spending $1000 on just about anything seems like a scary decision, but let me explain. More than any other piece of jewelry you own, watches have the incredible value of lasting a lifetime (if well-kept, literally). They manage to evade the typical trend cycle, holding up from season to season and year to year. Owning a well-made watch with a classic design will no doubt help you identify and be consistent with your own personal style. Are you a silver or gold type of jewelry wearer? Prefer vintage-inspired design over modern? Or maybe you’ve mastered the art of mixing your metals (in which case, please teach us how).

Whatever the case may be, owning a watch that feels in line with your style is a powerful tool and one that will carry you through important meetings to travel and every day in between. Oh and not to worry, you’ll find watch picks below that are both under $100 and well under $1000 too.
