I bought my Cartier at Tourneau, and got somewhere between 15%-20% off the list price. The other thing to know is that you can often haggle, especially at good watch stores. So I started thinking of it as, “every time I see one and want one, I’m mentally putting $5 into my “watch fund jar,” which helped mitigate the purchase a bit when I plunked down the money. I started noticing Cartier watches (and really wanting one) sometime in my late 20s. Here in New York, I would think that a watch with diamonds on it was only for going out - but I have another friend in Miami who wears her bejeweled watch everywhere, including to court. The word on the street is you can wear gold jewelry with a stainless steel watch - but if that will make you feel awkward (like I always do!) then consider getting a watch with both gold and silver elements.įinally, diamonds and other jewels: I think this is more of a “know your region” kind of thing. Other considerations: look for a watch that will wear well with your daily activities - if you’re a chef and washing your hands every two seconds, for example, you want a fairly waterproof watch.Ĭonsider how the watch keeps time, also - for example, if you may not wear the watch daily, you may want to avoid a “ perpetual motion” watch that stays wound through your body’s motions. So first and foremost, look for something you really love. If you’re spending money on something, I think you absolutely have to love it. Thank you so much for your support!

For our $.02: spend money on things like a good watch (or watch strap), gold or diamond earrings, a pearl necklace, and more. Hunting for great jewelry for the office? As of 2021, we’re long been fans of affordable brands like Kendra Scott and Gorjana, as well as mid-tier brands like Monica Vinader, David Yurman, and Stephen Dweck. My 30th birthday gift to myself was a Cartier Tank Francaise watch, though, so perhaps my perception is a bit biased! (It was a huuuuge splurge for this Midwestern girl.) In New York - at least among the legal and banking set - Cartier is kind of the first and last word, at least in my experience.
Not only do men’s magazines all still advise men to go out and spend money on a watch, but I’ve often been at a lunch with high-achieving women, looked around, and noticed that 8 of the 10 women there were wearing Cartier watches. I’ve written before about how I think watches are still status symbols.
