6 first watches for the 20-something gentleman

Stepping up and purchasing your first ‘real’ watch is a big move. Perhaps you’ve just graduated, received your first pay check or if you’re lucky, a promotion. Either way, you want to invest some of your hard earned dollar on a classy, mechanical wristwatch that lets you and everyone else around you know that you’ve made it. We say ‘mechanical’ because, although quartz watches can represent great value for money, they lack a certain charm that only comes with a whirring, ticking, mechanical movement. Whilst they are inherently more expensive, you won’t need to ever replace a battery in a mechanical watch and you can rest assured knowing that somebody has used their very own, equally ‘real’, hands to produce it. If you are indeed looking to invest, here are 6 first watches for the 20 something gentleman.
