There is an unwritten tradition regarding engagement watches, this tradition dictates that it is the man who asks for marriage, symbolizing the union with an engagement ring, in exchange, the woman gives the man a watch. There are many couples who follow this custom, and therefore, engagement watches are a classic of all seasons, if this is your case and you are not sure which watch to choose, in this post you will find a specific guide to choosing engagement watches for your partner.

What you should take into account to choose the perfect watch

There is a suitable watch for every man, so you must take into account the characteristics and tastes of your future husband when investing in an engagement watch.

Assess whether your future husband would opt for a classic design or a groundbreaking watch, although we associate fine watchmaking with traditional designs, as you will see below, fine watchmaking also offers pieces with contemporary designs.

Another important factor is the mechanism, in this type of circumstance an automatic watch is preferable, since this type of movement is the one used by luxury watchmaking, instead of the mechanisms that work with a quartz battery.

The size of the dial is important, and also influences the type of strap. The size of the wrists is important when choosing the size of a watch case.

Finally, think about his general tastes, surely you know him well and you will have no problem finding a watch that suits his style.

Do you already have it? Well, it's time to choose.

Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or

An excellent watch to start the list. A classic model but different from traditional trends, with an avant-garde design reminiscent of the Art Nouveau era. There are many versions, in fact the original dates back to 1968 and since then Patek Philippe has not stopped revisiting it every few seasons.

The usual line of the Ellipse d'Or follows a very clean design, with few complications but with an extremely precise movement, typical of Patek Philippe.

Baume Mercier Clifton

One of the best known watches from BM, a watch that never goes out of style and has a time reserve and a window for the calendar in the upper part of the dial.

Baume Mercier usually opts for classic designs, but always with an extra contribution that makes all of its models a safe bet when we have to give them away.

Cartier Santos

If you want to give a jewel watch and you want to bet on a safe model, the Santos de Cartier is the perfect decision. The Santos de Cartier model is one of those watches recognizable at first glance, an extra-flat octagon that also incorporates the Cartier brand's taste for luxury.

The 35.1 mm yellow gold version. is the most popular, it is an automatic gold watch that will pass from generation to generation.

IWC Portuguese Tourbillon

A tourbillon watch is synonymous with precision, and this device prevents the mechanism from being influenced by the action of gravity. The sapphire crystal dial is just one of the details that this IWC keeps, a perfect model for an event such as a wedding.

The Portugieser are the most famous watches of the IWC brand, the Tourbillon model has a perpetual calendar, a mechanism developed for the 150th anniversary of the brand capable of measuring leap years and the irregularity of the months, it also has a lunar calendar and includes a spectacular 18-carat red gold dial.

Rolex DateJust

And why not a Rolex? When it comes to a unique occasion, a Rolex is always a safe bet. The Date Just is one of the classic models, with the spectacular design associated with all Rolexes, but much more sober than other models from the Swiss watchmaker, making it an excellent option for a wedding.

A good combination is the steel and white gold model for one of the most elegant bets of Swiss watchmaking.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon

On the one hand, Audemars Piguet watches will never go out of style, but the Royal Oak Concept model also reinvents the volumes of watchmaking, to offer us a piece that becomes a jewel and a commitment to design.

All lovers of luxury watchmaking dream of the Royal Oak, this particular model has an exposed tourbillon and a design known as a skeleton, which leaves a large part of the mechanism visible.

Omega Globemaster

Sober and at the same time very impressive. The Globemaster by Omega has, a priori, all the elements of a classic watch, a round dial, clean lines, a single complication for the calendar, a foot strap…, and yet, it makes an impact at first sight.

The base is made of steel, however it has a yellow gold bezel that multiplies its presence, in addition its movement hides a house brand co-axial escapement.

In this case, we do not recommend a specific model, but an entire collection, so that you can choose for yourself. If you run away from traditional watches and want to opt for a model that really makes a difference, Hublot Big Bang is the best option.

Hublot is different, a manufacturer focused on groundbreaking designs that stand out, the Big Bang collection is its flagship and in it you will find all kinds of different proposals.
