When I was young, I would spend weeks, if not months, during the holidays putting together my Christmas wish list. It was a thing of precision and beauty: a carefully balanced assortment of toys, sneakers, and gadgets that I was sure would make me the coolest kid in the neighborhood, if not the world.
At some point in life you become an adult. You realize that it's the parents who are putting the presents under the tree, and not some strange, philanthropic stranger with a penchant for velvet. You give up grandiose wishes and prefer to be surprised by your loved ones. But as we all know, finding the perfect gift can be a stressful task. So why not take the pressure off the people around us? Be open, make a wish list, and practice your surprised face as you unwrap your heartfelt gift.
This is even more true if you want a watch for Christmas. From classic chronographs to technical marvels, the selection is greater than ever, making it easy to find the watch that reflects your personal style. Here are four of the best watches fromFossil, which you should put on your wish list - or, if you've been particularly good this year, you can give yourself a gift.
1.The “Sport Tourers”
The one presented at the beginning of the yearSports Toursfrom Fossil features a Japanese chronograph movement for precise timekeeping and a tachymeter. The classic watch is sturdy but not too sturdy, with a coin-edged bezel and an oversized crown. The large, luminous indices add a touch of retro charm, especially on the cream dial and brown leather strap.
2. Die „Carraway“
DieCarrawayis an elegant watch that looks much more expensive than it actually is, and is a great example of why square watches deserve serious consideration. Available in stainless steel, gold plated or rose gold, the case is gently curved to fit perfectly on the wrist, while the leather strap is lined with nubuck for added comfort. As a bonus, the strap is made with Fossil's LiteHide™ tanning, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional leather tanning.
3. Die „Townsmen“
DieTownsmanfrom Fossil is a true masterpiece of watchmaking with an open dial that showcases the precise automatic movement. In terms of design, this watch is the ultimate all-rounder - elegant but with a pleasant weight (thanks to the 45 mm case). With its brown leather strap, this watch will look even better in a few years with a light patina than it does now.
4. Die „Everett“
Watches can get complicated pretty quickly from the ground up. TheEverett-Modellfrom Fossil, on the other hand, impresses with a simple gold-look case that is reminiscent of the classic timepieces of the seventies. The eye-catcher is undoubtedly the green sunray dial, which is sure to be a topic of conversation.
