Personalized Pocket Watches: A Worthy Contender

So your dad’s birthday is coming up soon and you are going crazy because you can’t find the perfect gift for him. Sound familiar?  Of course you could get him something common like a mug, a pair of socks or some handkerchiefs, but this year you just don’t think any of those will cut it. You want to get him something he will use but then again something that he wouldn’t go out and buy himself – what you want is a worthy gift. Suddenly you realize that a pocket watch might just be an awesome gift. Everyone needs to keep track of time, and what better way to do so than with a personalized time piece.

We live in a world where almost every single thing that we buy can be personalized according to what we like. If you desire a red laptop with racing stripes you can be sure to find one. The same can be said about watches, especially with pocket watches. So why not go the extra mile. It is a special occasion right?

Pocket watches are not only a great gift for birthdays, they are perfect for weddings as well. There’s nothing better than a classy pocket watch with a specially engraved message to wish the groom on his big day.

When looking for a pocket watch, you must first have a vision in mind. What style would suit the person best? – Antique, Modern or Classic. Once you have defined the style, you then need to think about the way in which you wish to personalize it. Could it be initials, a date or perhaps a message? Ensure there is adequate space on the watch so as not to affect the overall style.

There are many different websites that stock pocket watches and a few brands you might see are Charles Hubert, Bulova and Meisterwerk. The great thing about many sites that sell pocket watches is that you can also ask for the pocket watch to be personally engraved by them at the time of purchase, killing two birds with one stone. Whatever your budget is, there are a range of options available to meet your needs.

If you want to give someone special a unique, personal and useful gift; one that will stand out…personalized pocket watches might just be great contenders.
