Men have eyed gold watches with suspicion for too long. The derision, and the subsequent division, is unfounded. Because, while gold watches have been the arm cannons of The Culture s flashiest men (and probably the only thing in common between Drake and Tony Soprano), they re not just for showing off. Not anymore. Like signet rings and necklaces, gold watches run the gamut of personal taste; for every diamond baller there s something a bit more muted.
Both options are great. In menswear s new age of maximalism, there s room for some yellow gold and diamonds, while a quieter watch can used to dial things down elsewhere. Either way, one simple glint makes you memorable, and it s a sentiment that extends to all threads of your wardrobe: the weekend, the office, the in-between, even the top table.
