Still searching for the perfect holiday present for your favorite watch enthusiast? If buying a new timepiece isn’t in the cards, there are plenty of accessories and other related items they may not have on their wish list, but will relish all the same.
Sleek contemporary designs in the latest winders, storage boxes, safes, and mechanical clocks elegantly blend with modern décor, while fashionable straps keep smart watches on trend, and informative books feed the inner watch geek. We scoured the market to put together this curated collection—from the accessible to the extraordinary—that will make their heart beat like a finely tuned mechanical movement.
Cartier is famous for its mastery of decorative arts, as exemplified in its Exceptional watch box (US$8,750). This beautiful and functional objet d’art depicts the inner workings of a mechanical movement using black, gray, beige, and red wood marquetry with palladium-finish details and chevron decorations. The black leather interior houses two watch-winding compartments. Available by appointment at select Cartier boutiques nationwide.
Any admirer of a mechanical watch movement will be captivated by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Atmos clock, powered by its historic virtually perpetual movement, introduced in the 1930s, that runs on slight variations in room temperature. A fluctuation of even a single degree can power the clock for 48 hours. The new Deco-style Atmos Transparente ($9,450) showcases the Calibre 563 movement encased in a crystal clear cabinet made of anti-reflective glass.
Montblanc’s Meisterstück Soft Grain Watch Pouch (US$370) is a watch enthusiast’s ideal travel companion. The compact grained black leather travel case with soft padded microfiber lining easily slips into any carry-on and protects up to two watches plus a pair of cufflinks, so they’ll never have to leave home without their favorite timepieces.
Scatola del Tempo has updated its signature Rotor-One (US$550) winder with a sleek new leather-clad design with seven color options and a reliable new SwissKubik engine to keep an automatic watch fully wound and ready to go at a moment’s notice. The Swiss micromotor runs in virtual silence making 1,800 rotations in both directions daily for three years on two low-consumption alkaline C-cell batteries. For Rolex fans, switch out the standard silver window bezel for one that matches their favorite model: black GMT, “Hulk” green, “Batman, ” and “Pepsi.”
The watch specialty site Hodinkee has teamed up with luxury book publisher Assouline to publish Watches: A Guide by Hodinkee (US$85), a 261-page glossy coffee table book on all things horological. Written by Hodinkee’s editors, the book is embellished with 150 detailed illustrations and professional photographs to inform and entertain the watch novice and seasoned connoisseur alike. Available at Hodinkee Shop as well as select Assouline stores worldwide and online.
Known for its affordable watches and premium leather accessories among other things, Shinola’s got the Apple Watch wearer covered with stylish and supple Apple Watch Compatible Straps in 20mm and 24mm sizes that fit multiple versions of the popular smart watch. Available in premium U.S.-sourced leather ($125) and alligator ($255) at Shinola.
Buben & Zorweg’s compact Illusion Safe(from US$21,900) offers an elegant high-tech security system for precious timepieces and other valuables. Cloaked in hand-stitched Italian leather, the 40-kg heavy steel-bodied safe emerges from the top of the column with a biometric fingerprint sensor or a transponder. The unit houses Time Mover winders for two automatic watches, plus two additional drawers and LED lighting. Illusion is fully customizable and expandable with three additional over-the-top variations—Illusion Deluxe, Grande Illusion, and Grande Illusion Deluxe—depending on how nice they’ve been this year.
