Father’s Day is around the corner, and it is certainly an excellent time to show your appreciation to your father with a thoughtful gift.
There are, of course, many gift ideas that one can think of. But what if your father is a watch collector? Surely he will welcome a new addition to his collection – be it a big incoming, or a small and reasonably-priced timepiece. After all, it is the thought that counts, right?
Hence, for this week’s article, we will be selecting six watches across various price points that works as a wonderful Father’s Day gift. What have we selected? Let’s find out!
Apple Watch
The new Apple Watch 2, featuring Mickey on the dial.
For the tech geeks, we have the perfect timepiece – the Apple Watch Series 2.
When the Apple Watch was first launched in 2015, it had generated a lot of hype and buzz. It was Apple’s first attempt at producing a smartwatch, and its sleek design and excellent features combine both form and functionality beautifully.
The Apple Watch offers many great applications, such as communication tools, health tracker, as well as a digital assistant. The only drawback, however, is its short battery life of around 18 hours.
Notably, the watch is available in a variety of strap options, and prices begin at S$ 269 for the Aluminium variant.

Moving on, we have the perfect watch for a watch collector who likes photography as well. How about the TACS Limited Edition Vintage Lens Watch, by Yoshiaki Motegi.
The inspiration behind Yoshiaki-san’s works are the principles of kenshō (見性), seeing one’s true nature, and mujodo no taigen, expression of this insight in daily life. This has resulted in a timepiece that was inspired by old camera lenses. We particularly like how the watch replicates a camera lens so closely, with its multi-layered dial, the various inscriptions, as well as a rotatable bezel. It is certainly an interesting timepiece.
The 47mm TACS Vintage Lens is available in both quartz and automatic movement. We definitely prefer the latter, in which it is powered by Miyota’s 82S0. It is a limited edition of 500 pieces, and it comes with a reasonable suggested retail price of US$ 550 (approximately S$ 760).
Longines Railroad
The Longines Railroad – a throwback to the watches of the yesteryears.
We have a soft spot for the Longines Heritage series, and some of its watches have really impressed us tremendously with its price point and aesthetics. One particular model that have captured our hearts is the Railroad – which is based on a similar timepiece that was in the Longines catalog in the 1960s.
As its nomenclature suggests, this watch is intended for railway men to plan and work out train schedules. These watches need to be extremely accurate – any error might potentially result in a catastrophic train accident. Of course, in today’s age, the need for such devices is […]
