we both think the Gucci watch now looks a bit 'gran'.

I like this but its a lot more expensive.

This is along similar lines to the Cluse watch:

https://www.johnlewis.com/junghans-047-4252-women'...

It is a 33mm case size. Some of the men's watches are 38mm (the same as Cluse). The Max Bill is an iconic design and a much better watch.

Longines is also a good brand and a large range under £1000.

If you decide to go for Junghans or Longines you should give Dominic Hackett a call as he maybe able to source them at a good discount.

As an update went for the watch below, kindly sourced by Dominic Hackett (fantastic to deal with) who was recommended to me on here.
