It’s holiday gifting go time.

Unless you've been living blissfully offline, you're already aware: it's gift-giving season. That list in your phone of gift ideas is about to earn its keep. What you’re looking for: gifts that feel inevitable in hindsight. Personal, never precious. Useful, but special.

This season, especially, when everything is moving fast, the gifts that count are the ones that feel timeless — which brings us to the watch. Not as a flex, but as an actual life upgrade. In 2025, glancing at your wrist instead of your phone to check the time is practically countercultural. Maybe even a bit rebellious.

Movado understands this. The Swiss brand has been making watches since 1881, and these are pieces you can actually pass down. The museum dial, with that iconic single dot at 12 o’clock, has held its own since 1947. It’s minimalism that’s confident, not cold.

Here’s what’s worth wrapping this year (or keeping for yourself):

Heritage 1917

With art Deco geometry, a taupe ombré dial, and a gold-plated bezel that works just as easily with jeans or something a little more elevated, your friend with impeccable taste will add this to her daily rotation.

The watch guy will love this: Swiss automatic movement (it winds itself just from being worn), charcoal dial, and an exhibition caseback that shows the mechanics in action.

Its cherry leather strap and watch face were made for wistful glances — complete with that archival flower motif stamped on the crown. Perfect for romanticizing every little thing.

With a champagne sunburst dial, yellow gold PVD, and Swiss automatic, the Museum Imperiale is elevated without announcing it.

For the boyfriend who just discovered tailoring exists, or your dad who's impossible to shop for. The Museum Imperiale’s mid-tone blue dial and automatic movement will get the nod of approval.

The jewelry maximalist who treats their wrist like a gallery wall will love this. It’s sculptural, features the iconic Movado dot, and was built to layer.

Yellow gold tone, modern, minimal: the classic watch-as-jewelry move. A perfect addition to any stack.

Subtly pretty and easy to wear, this one’s for that one friend who’s out the door in five minutes and still looks better than everyone else.

Designed in the '70s, sized for now. Enough said.

For the guy who'd rather own three good things than ten trendy ones. Straight from the Movado vault and, yes, it's perfect.
