Frédérique Constant Classics Carrée Small Seconds.
This watch has an old-Hollywood feel to it, with a rectangular dial surrounded by 158 diamonds encrusted in the stainless steel case. Its black leather straps, Roman numeral hours and white toned dial offer a contrasting style, while the mini seconds hand, located at 6 o’clock, keeps it from appearing too busy.
Frédérique Constant Manchette.
For the magpie in your life, this sparkling timepiece offers a bold and contemporary style. Its seven-link bracelet with a Clou de Paris embellishment scatters light and catches eyes. Its malachite stone dial adds a pop of colour and sheen to the elegant, offsetting the silver tone with forest green.

It’s easy to put on and take off with a latched spring bar clasp and its five-link bracelet is modifiable for the perfect fit.
Citizen Dress Classic.
It’s a classic for a reason—this design is far from boring. With cranberry-toned leather straps and white mother-of-pearl dial, its minimalist design is brought to life. The dial remains clean with no numerals, only dashes to signify 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’ clock. Powered by light, it requires no battery.
Citizen TSUYOSA 37mm.
This sporty timepiece has a strong stainless-steel appearance with a pop of colour from the purple dial. The date window, located at 3 o’clock, and complementing silver-tone time markers offer precise detail and its automatic movement and up to 50 metres of water resistance make this watch ideal for someone always on the go.
