Stocking Fillers and Small Gifts

Already gave a watch last year? A new genuine leather watch strap (from KSh 1,200) gives an old favourite a fresh look. Or gift a service: a battery change and clean through our watch repairs service brings a forgotten watch back to life.

Tips for Buying a Watch for Christmas

Order early in December. The days before Christmas are the busiest of the year, and the most popular models can sell out.
Check their style. Look at the watch and jewellery they already wear: silver or gold, leather or metal, minimal or bold.
Pick an easy fit if unsure. Mesh, leather and silicone straps adjust easily. Metal bracelets may need links removed, so ask about adjustment when you order.
Think about their day. Office workers suit dress watches, active people suit sporty watches or smartwatches.
Add a personal touch. A handwritten card with the gift makes it memorable.
