The gift of a watch over the Christmas period is one of the best a person could hope for, according to several experts contributing to a new report.

In the piece for the London Free Press, a number of specialists were quizzed about the trend, with men being the primary target for the gift as it is both practical and, more importantly, stylish.

Anne Sue-Pin, the senior brand manager for Guess Watches, said that it was all about lifestyle choices, explaining: "It is one of the few ways a man can express his personal style."

President of Baume & Mercier Rudy Chavez believed it was more about the process of giving a great gift, adding: "A watch is one of the most memorable gifts you can give since it keeps track of something that is of the utmost importance - time."

Antiquorum's watch director Charles Tearle recently spoke to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and asserted that high-end watches which are of a limited production number are a fantastic investment as they will not lose the buyer any money.
