7 Unique Watches to Gift This Father’s Day

In a world where the handmade is becoming increasingly rare, watches and the mechanics behind them are arguably even more valuable today than in the past. The precision and the hours that go into making each piece are unparalleled as the watchmaking houses continue to work on improving their know-how and the materials used. The tradition of passing timepieces down through families has been around since pocket watches were invented, and this year’s latest introductions, inspired by space travel, autoracing, and more, are a culmination of everything men love: mechanics, sports, and chic design. 

If you are looking for the perfect gift for the man in your life this Father’s Day, the iconic pieces below are likely to be enjoyed for generations to come.
