Editor’s note: The most wonderful time of year is almost here and who doesn’t want to be the gift giver that everyone remembers? But gift giving’s hard, and everyone could use a little help. With that in mind, PaperCity is rolling through its 2024 Gift Guide Series. Expect anything but the usual gifts, and categories built around the quest of living your very best life.

Next up — The Best Gifts For Watch Lovers:

For the true watch connoisseur, a timepiece is far more than a functional accessory. It is a symbol of precision, craftsmanship and personal style. Watches have the unique ability to tell stories, often passed down through generations, with each tick of a second embodying horological mastery. For those who understand that wearing a luxury watch is an experience as much as it is a statement, this curated gift guide celebrates the best of timekeeping.

We’ve handpicked some standouts from a number of the world’s most storied watchmakers. These are watches that anyone would be delighted to receive and add to their collection.
