What watches - his 'n hers - wedding present?

[the_engineer]

Evening all,

As per the title really - my brother is getting married and I'm thinking of perhaps getting them both his and hers watches as a gift.

Price range £1-2k for both.

I've seen a couple of "Tags" which looked nice together whilst walking past Goldsmiths which were just over (so assume I could get them cheaper by shopping around) but thought I'd ask on here for ideas.

In terms of style, he mentioned the other day that he was thinking of getting a square, white faced watch for the big day - so it would be nice if I could get him one as part of this gift, but this is by no means a strict requirement.

Also, I'll be going abroad in a weeks time so duty free is an option if it is an option?

Ideas (and links/contacts) would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!




(Oh and if anyone has any advice/pointers on wedding speeches that would be very much appreciated - methinks another thread is necessary!)

With the budget you're quoting Tags will be quartz movements so not great.

As a his & hers set with your budget I'd look at Tissot, they have a few options.

I can give you some advise about your wedding speech.........you could tell everybody how close you came to buying his and hers crap and paying 10 x what its worth.

Save your money, modern day TAGS are on par with fake anything from Egypt but not as reliable .....don't do it

good luck with the wedding

Haha.

Thanks both.

The tags were just an example of something I saw whilst killing time at Brent Cross one evening waiting for someone.

Any suggestions and links? I had a quick look at Tissot.

What about Oris? I've seen some matching pairs in their range.

Oh and just to clarify - it doesn't need to be a pre packaged set.

Just something from the same brand which look related would do

I like Oris, I have a BC3, but didn't realise they did his & hers watches.

I've always had a soft spot for these:

Auto, quartz or manual wind and his and hers available
