Hello r/Watches ! the reason I’m creating this post today is that I want to buy my mother a watch with my first salary. Even though I follow this subreddit, I can’t say I know a lot about watches nor I have the budget for them. So, I need your expertise .
In our family, there’s a tradition of buying a gift with the first paycheck (even if it wasn’t, I would still want to buy one), and my mom gifted a watch to my grandma with her first salary. My grandma has been wearing the watch my mom gave her every day for 30-40 years. So, it’s important to me that the watch I choose is timeless and suitable for daily wear. My mom usually wears silver jewelry, but I know she has worn gold-colored items due to gifts we’ve given her in the past. My budget right now is 1-2k € but if you think there’s an exceptional watch that’s worth a bit more, I can be flexible.
Thank you all in advance for your recommendations and ideas.
Cartier. The brand has a lot more pull with women than men. The other brands are more well renowned with guys. Cartier is stronger with women imo.
I’ll search more of them, it seems there are many models with different prices
Do not overlook a Grand Seiko. Might be the best quality to price ratio out there.
