Watch for my new born (lemmy.world)

Were having our first kid in December and would love to buy a watch for him and then give it to him at 18. Budget would be 2-3$k. It could also be multiple watches. I have no preferences.

He would also be getting any watch I buy once I’m gone but if we have more than 1 kid they would split it. And hopefully I’m around a bit longer.

Thanks everyone!

Appreciate it! I don’t have a ton of knowledge around watches and makers. And really only know Hamilton, Tissot and Citizen. You’ll see me post more about growing my collection. Thanks a ton!

In that case perhaps a Frederique Constant? Citizen owned but Swiss made. Fair few of the watch reviewers are raving about their new range.

Absolutely. I can appreciate a lot of the big names and what they produce, but I’m one of those that likes to stay off the beaten path. I’d much rather have a watch with an interesting pedigree that average people I work with can’t even tell is expensive.
