A stand-out cocktail watch is just what we need to get into the festive spirit – and makes for a dazzling future family heirloom too. How’s that for an investment piece?
‘Tis the season for adorning ourselves with the most decadent of jewels, even in a year like no other. Whilst you may not feel like dressing in sequins from top-to-toe, a cocktail watch is a sleek way to up the sartorial ante over the festive period.
