FATHER FIGURE

by AHMED SEDDIQI & SONS

What better way to celebrate the man in your life than by giving the gift of time. We’ve selected a few watches that embody masculine elegance with refined style, giving you the perfect way to express your thanks this Father’s Day.

Claude Meylan, Lac ‘Tortue de Joux’

The open-worked nature of this watch lends a lightweight elegance to this watch that almost belies its mechanical prowess. A 40mm tonneau case keeps it classical whilst a skeletonized movement lends a modern touch making this the perfect choice for a man with progressive taste.

Moritz Grossmann ATum Pure L

Moritz Grossmann's impeccable movement has been committed to memory, Fathers everywhere remember when they strained their ears to hear the soft, efficient ticking of the first ATUM Pure. Now, we are able to see the ornately decorated movement through a mesh dial on ATUM Pure High Art, a piece to be added to any deserving patriarch's collection.

Meistersinger, Salthora Meta Transparent

A touch of German horological ingenuity, Meistersinger's Salthora Meta Transparent houses a minute hand amidst the rotating bezels.

Gold and Ruthenium have been combined in order to produce the warm-coloured dial on this ultra-precise timepiece, designed to perfectly complement the 40mm platinum case and caramel coloured alligator strap.
