12 Days of Dappered – A New Timepiece

Our annual 12 days of Dappered covers highly giftable ideas with a few examples piggy-backed onto each. All will be reasonably affordable. See the growing archive here.

Why wear (or give) a watch in the 21st century, when we all have a clock on our mobile phones? Because a watch gives its wearer the opportunity to disconnect from the noise, yet still be connected to his or her day. That, and they just look great. They’re a blend of style and wearable engineering. Here are some of the best looking that are available right now, in time for the holidays…

 

ABOUT THE ORIENT CODES: For the Orient Producer & Bambino Retro, you’ll need one of the 30% off codes that work on the Orient USA site. Dappered30 is one of them, but don’t feel obligated to use that one. For the already marked-down Explorer Dual Time Automatic that’s on Amazon, use GRNMON14 through today (12/10) to get that mid $300s price.

For all internet watch purchases, make sure you have an idea as to who/what you’re buying from, and whether or not they’re an “authorized” dealer. If they’re not, it might cost less, yet you’ll probably miss out on a manufacturer’s warranty.
