– 5 rules to follow for an engagement gift
The pleasure of giving is multiplied tenfold for a big occasion like an engagement or a wedding. For an event of this magnitude, a gift like an exceptional watch is always received with extreme joy. What are the tips to follow in order to choose the one that will perfectly match the man or woman who wears it?
The engagement watch in harmony
An engagement will allow you to dress up! Wearing a watch means matching your outfit with it. To do this, first banish anything that looks too flashy: garish colors like fluorescent bracelets are not invited to the wedding, nor are dials that are too flashy. Discretion is one of the most important criteria for a stylish person.
The skin color of the wearer is also a criterion of choice. Between a black leather strap or steel or silver or gold, the palette is large. Be aware that silver shades are highlighted on rather light skins. On the other hand, gold will stand out on darker skins.
Don’t forget to choose colors that will match the colors of the different layered garments such as the shirt, vest, jacket, even the bow or tie. Discrepancies are not welcome when it comes to pairing two people together.
A BRACELET WITH STAYING POWER
As for the strap, it is an essential part of your engagement or wedding watch. If it is a gift that you have planned without taking the trouble to know the size of the wrist of the person to whom you offer it, choose a bracelet that can be adjusted. Nothing is more unattractive than a watch that is going to dangle and not fit at all.
FOR THE FEMININE MODELS, PREFER LIGHTNESS!
The wedding dress is an explosion of veils, whiteness and softness. It is difficult in this case to offer a wedding watch that will contrast with this ensemble. On the contrary, it is necessary to choose models that show elegance and lightness. With metal or leather bracelets, you will surround the wrist of your sweetheart with grace.
Some brands offer a range of interchangeable bracelets to better match your grooming or your mood. As for the dial, it should also be discreet. If you really want to mark this commitment with a present that will measure your union, a wedding watch set with stones will give it an even more solemn character.

THINK ABOUT SETTING THIS EVENT IN STONE!
To make this gift even more memorable, consider having the date of the ceremony engraved on the back of the watch. The person to whom you give it will always shed a tear of joy when remembering this unforgettable moment.
SHOULD WE ADDRESS THE BUDGET ISSUE?
- This is obviously a criterion that counts in every sense of the word. It should be remembered that a watch for men or women can reach a few thousand euros for models of major brands such as Rolex, Jaeger Lecoultre or Omega.
- With high-end models, you are assured of offering a present that will last and remain timeless. Symbolically, this is also what is expected in a wedding, namely something durable and that works in all circumstances.
- For mid-range prices, you can go for well known brands like Junghans, Victorinox or Orient Star. For tighter budgets, you can consider a product from LIP, Orient, Seiko or our Nappey brand.
- In any case, it is essential that your choice suits the personality of the person who will wear it. There is no need to choose a jewel that is too sophisticated for a fiancé who does not appreciate luxury objects. Indeed, this present will become a burden rather than an object that will be worn with lightness.
- Between aesthetic aspects, assortment, budget, the choice of an engagement or wedding watch must be anticipated. It is obviously more relevant to be interested in the tastes of the person concerned before finalizing your purchase.
- As far as the symbol is concerned, it is particularly strong since every second that passes is shared with the loved one!
