What makes watches the perfect gift for every occasion

Did you know that there is a superstition against gifting a watch? They say that if it stops, it’ll bring bad luck.
All superstitions aside, we think that wristwatches are the perfect gift for every occasion, and for a good reason! No matter if you want to gift it for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, Mother’s Day, or TO simply say “Thank You”, a watch is always a great gift idea!

In this article, you’ll find all the information on why watches make great gifts and what you should consider when choosing one:

Why gift a wristwatch?

A watch marks a passage of time and is a symbol of timelessness. Unlike other gifts, such as clothing or electronic devices, a watch does not lose value and can last you a lifetime.

Furthermore, a watch is not only a stylish accessory, but also a very practical gift. It’s easier to keep track of time with a watch rather than having to rely on your smartphone and carry it around everywhere.

Moreover, timepieces come in countless designs. Classic, sporty, or extravagant - you can find the perfect watch for every taste and easily match your gift to the style and personality of its recipient. High-quality timeless design ensures that the watch will never go out of style.

Analog watch vs. Smartwatch

When choosing a watch, you should also pay attention to its functionality.

Smartwatches are in high demand now because of their multifunctionality. With a smartwatch, you can not only tell time, but also keep track of your steps, get updates on the latest news, and so much more.

Analog watches, on the other hand, have other advantages.

Unique Design

Analog watches come in a myriad of different styles and designs, which makes it easier to find the perfect model that would suit him or her perfectly and help their personality shine through. Smartwatches, on the other hand, all look very similar.

Timeless Design

Analog watches often feature unique designs that easily become a timeless classic. Digital watches, on the other hand, are not made to last and quickly become obsolete due to technological advancements.


Which watch to choose?

When choosing a watch, you of course have to take into account the needs and the lifestyle of the person you’re buying it for.

First of all, make sure that the watch compliments the personal style of the gift’s recipient.
Is it elegant or sporty? Do they dress minimalistically or more extravagantly? Answering these questions should help you find the timepiece that would suit them perfectly.

Another important factor in the selection is the type of watch. There are many options: from very simple analog pieces to chronographs, solar watches and automatic watches. Again, think about a person’s lifestyle and what functionalities they would need from a watch.

The size of the watch also plays an important role. As a rule, you adjust it to the width of the wrist: the wider the wrist, the bigger the case width of the timepiece can be and vice versa. Therefore, you should choose smaller watches for women and bigger - for men.

How to personalise your gift

A watch is a great gift not only because of its design but also due to many small details that make it feel personal.

At Holzkern, each timepiece is unique, as unique as the person you’re gifting it to. All of our watches are made from quality natural materials like wood, marble or nacre. Each piece differs in structure, grain and color, and is absolutely unique, personalised by nature.
