Timepiece Guide

Watch buying guides for U.S. gift shoppers: movements, case sizing, water resistance, straps, engraving and holiday gift planning.

Author: Samuel Brandt

Samuel Brandt spent thirteen years working behind the counter and then as a service coordinator for a watch retailer in Chicago. He handled sizing adjustments, strap swaps and engraving requests for thousands of gift purchases and learned that most disappointments came from the wrist measurement, not the movement. He writes Timepiece Guide for the buyer who wants a watch that sits right.
