IndieWrist Gift Guide

A watch that feels like part of the gift

An IndieWrist watch can be chosen as much for its shape and styling personality as for timekeeping. Use this guide to narrow the edit for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, holidays, milestones, thank-you gifts or a just-because surprise.

For the understated dresser

Look for petite round, slim rectangular, square or tank-inspired watches in restrained metal tones or leather straps. These styles pair easily with tailoring, knitwear, denim and simple jewelry.

For the jewelry lover

Bracelet watches, crystal accents, chain links, sculpted links and small dials feel closer to jewelry than a conventional sports watch. Gold-tone and silver-tone pieces can be chosen to echo the recipient's usual rings, bracelets or necklaces.

For the vintage-style collector

Roman numerals, tonneau cases, cushion cases, compact square dials, burgundy tones and leather straps bring a retro mood without implying that the watch is an antique. Our vintage-inspired pieces are modern fashion watches unless a product page expressly states otherwise.

For someone who likes something different

Pendant watches, clover shapes, oval links, sculptural rings and unusual bracelet forms make stronger conversation pieces and work well for a recipient who treats accessories as part of their personal style.

Choosing colour

Gold tones tend to feel warm and dressy; silver tones read cooler and cleaner; burgundy and brown add vintage richness; green or blue can act as a controlled colour accent. Mother-of-pearl and crystal details can add light without requiring a large case.
