Top Watch Picks for Men

The Nine-to-Fiver
Sleek and minimalist, the Classic St Andrews timepiece ($348 from Kapok Tools) by Swedish brand Daniel Wellington goes with everything, whether you’re suited up for a board meeting or dressing to impress a dinner date.

The Statement Piece
If you’re headed for a black-tie event and want something with a little swagger, Chaumet’s Dandy Slim (price upon request from Chaumet) should do the trick with its elegant, unadorned look.

The Weekend Watch
Locally designed label HyperGrand takes the classic NATO strap—originating with the British navy—to new heights by incorporating cool, high-resolution prints on its 01 NATO Watch ($160 from Club 21b).

The Classic
Part of Nixon’s Luxe Heritage Collection, the strap of this fine timepiece (which retails for $219) is crafted from premium leather with hand-sewn whip stitched detailing. Its casual interface also makes it highly versatile, and one that you’d wear over and over again.
