Stunning Wrist Watches For Men
Sometimes, men get overlooked when designers create beautiful styles of clothing and accessories
. In many cases, women get to flaunt the most gorgeous jewels and gems without a second thought. Guys, on the other hand, are a bit more constrained when it comes to the kinds of jewelry that is generally acceptable for them to wear. While this trend is changing as men reclaim their right to wear chains and bracelets, many conservative men feel awkward wearing jewelry. But there is one type of jewelry that any man will wear happily a beautiful wrist watch.
If your first image when you hear the words wrist watch is the good old Timex with the flex band, then you may have some catching up to do. Elegant and expensive wrist watches have been high on the wish list of fashionable, high profile men for years. Beginning shortly after World War II, the worlds best watchmakers began designing timepieces for the high end market.

By contrast, the ten watches they listed for their article, ranged from the highest priced Blancpain 1735, at about $1 million to a range of Patek-Philippe and Breguet timepieces in the $275,000 range. Of course, they come complete with the full range of mechanical complications tourbillion movements, minute repeaters, perpetual calendars and more and are made of the finest materials.
You do not have to break your lifetime budget or sell your house to buy your guy a stunning wristwatch. While names like Patek-Philippe rule the high-end luxury wrist-watch market, there are other designers who have securely staked out the high-style wristwatch market in the prices that sane people will pay range.
