A timeless wristwatch is one of the few items in a man’s
life that has the longevity to be passed down to future
generations. A fine suit will wear thin, a cell phone will
become passé and a car is expensive and difficult to
maintain. This list includes 10 of the most iconic men’s
watches, all of which have the looks and the function
to last for decades to come. Buy them now, wear them
for the rest of your life and on your son’s wedding day,
give him a present that he will hold closer than anything
you’ve ever given him before.
No.1 The Rolex Day-Date “President”
The Rolex Day-Date is the most recognizable and imitat-
ed watch on the planet, but that only makes the original
more timeless. Known as the President not only for the
style of bracelet it employs, but also for the type of man
who wears it, this watch is one that inspires men to do
great things and more importantly, to think of where they
came from.
No.2 The Patek Philippe Calatrava
Arguably the most handsome watch ever made, the
Patek Calatrava seems to have been designed with the
express purpose of being passed down to future gen-
erations. In fact, Patek Philippe’s advertising campaign
reads: “You never actually own a Patek Philippe, you
merely hold it for the next generation.” The Calatrava is
the truest definition of a dress watch, and the perfect ac-
companiment for weddings, and all of life’s most important
events.
No.3 The Cartier Tank
Worn by the likes of Harry Truman and Cary Grant, the
Cartier Tank was actually one of the first wristwatches ever
created. It is an icon of modern luxury and a timeless ac-
cessory for men. The Tank will remain unchanged for years,
and Cartier quality will ensure yours keeps accurate time
for years to come.
No.4 The Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox
A simple but functional watch originally crafted in the
1950s, the Memovox takes the appearance of a dress watch
but adds a mechanical alarm. Jaeger put the Memovox
line on sabbatical until just this year, but we think it will
remain in production for a long time to come.
No.5 The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
The watch that launched an entire segment of luxury sport
watches is still one of the most admired around. Classic de-
sign that hasn’t deviated in the 30-plus years since its incep-
tion and a movement provided by one of the most respected
boutique manufacturers in the world make the Royal Oak a
classic watch that will keep on ticking for generations.
No.6 The Rolex Submariner
The Rolex Submariner is considered by many to be the
ultimate wristwatch, despite its genuinely sporty roots
as a true tool watch. The Submariner also holds tre-
