Such watchmakers are renowned for their expert craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, creating beautiful timepieces that will last and last.
A luxury leather travel bag

From business trips to weekend getaways, it’s certain to ensure he always arrives in style, and a classic leather duffel is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing.

On the inside, it should have plenty of space for all of the essentials – look for one with extra pockets that will help him to keep his passport, travel tickets and other small items accessible and close to hand for optimal convenience.
Designer bamboo underwear
When it comes to creating the right image, it’s all about getting the foundations right, and the sartorial male knows that getting his underwear right is just as important as his outerwear. Soft, breathable and endlessly comfortable, bamboo underwear can help to create a smooth silhouette and is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, as well as possessing some impressive moisture-wicking properties. Designed to keep him cool in summer and warm in winter, it certainly does its job when it comes to functionality, but even better, it’s also a sustainable choice. Plus, bamboo underwear for men is available in a range of colours and styles – from boxers and briefs to trunks – to suit individual tastes, and look pretty easy on the eye, too.
Fine spirits and a decanter set

Whether single malt Scotch or a well-aged bourbon is his stiff drink of choice, it’s certain to go down a treat, and the decanter set will elevate the entire drinking experience to opulent new heights, showcasing the spirit’s refined characteristics and enhancing its aroma and taste.
To really impress him, seek out a limited-edition or aged spirit from a renowned distillery for a one-of-a-kind gift that can’t help but please. Featuring unique flavours and exquisite packaging, they aren’t just great ideas for those who enjoy an occasional drink but are also excellent gifts for collectors and enthusiasts.
A luxury leather accessory
There’s just something about good quality leather that exudes opulence and an all-round sense of refinement, and a finely crafted wallet or cardholder is a lavish gift that every man would love to unwrap this Christmas.

If he’s already got one he loves, then a classic leather belt is another gift that will never go amiss – opt for a classic and versatile colour like black or brown with a simple gold or silver buckle depending on his taste.
