A Timeless Timepiece

Just like birth, death and the changing of the tides, men’s love for watches is a fact of life. Plain and simple. However, just as those tides change, so do trends. With that in mind, a timeless ticker is always going to be the way to go.

Forgo rubber bits, calorie counters and flashing LED lights in favour of clean designs, classic faces and simplicity. When he’s still proudly rocking it 20 years in the future you can fire us a quick telepathic iMessage using your government-issued Apple iBrain implant to say thanks for the sage advice.

Some Quality Denim

As far as male wardrobe staples go, they don’t come much more essential than a good pair of jeans. The importance of this humble garment is often underestimated, leading many blokes to settle for either Jeremy Clarkson-esque bootcut denim or reality TV-inspired, muscle-fit sausage casings.

Save you both some embarrassment in public by getting him some decent selvedge denim. It’ll fit better, last longer and won’t leave him looking like an ageing car-enthusiast or a Geordie Shore cast member. Can’t say fairer than that.
