Think all that glitters is just for the girls? Think again. While watches have always been a firm favourite when it comes to Christmas gifts for men, a recent explosion in men’s jewellery brands has also sent all manner of bracelets, necklaces and signet rings to the top of his wishlist.
But, of course, if you’re going to drop some serious cash you best make sure the gift you’re putting beneath the tree is something he’s truly going to treasure. Allow us to point you in the right direction with our edit of the best watch and jewellery gifts for men for Christmas 2025.
Men’s Jewellery
Alighieri The Gilded Frame ring
It might never have occurred to you to turn to your favourite jewellery brands for gifts for the men in your life but, invest in the right pieces, and you might find their magpie tendencies are just as strong as yours. Alighieri, with its natural forms and less pristine and polished style, is a brilliant introductory brand for a man who might not be ready for serious bling just yet. With its textured finish and neutral stones, this signet-inspired ring shows personality without being over the top.
Dress Watches
Chopard Alpine Eagle
Whether it’s to celebrate a promotion, a landmark birthday or just a very special Christmas, there is no gift quite so memorable as a man’s first mechanical watch. And, when it comes to a timepiece guaranteed to stand the test of time, Chopard’s Alpine Eagle is about as classic as they come. With a hard-wearing Lucent steel and 18k rose gold case and clean Bernina grey sunburst dial, regardless of whether they wear it every day or save it for special occasions, this is a watch they’ll always be pleased to have in their collection.
Sport Watches
TUDOR Black Bay 58 GMT Automatic watch
Buying for a man who considers himself a rugged, adventurous, jet setter? Even if, in reality, he’s more likely to be tackling delays on Southeastern Railways than attempting to scale mountains, at least with Tudor’s Black Bay 58 GMT, he’ll look good doing it. Packed into this highly wearable 39mm stainless steel case is a calibre MT5450-U automatic movement finished with an eye-catch black and burgundy bi-directional bezel. Oh, and its water resistant to 200m should he find himself on an actual adventure.
Cufflinks & Tie Clips
Santos de Cartier sterling silver cufflinks
Yes, he may only wear them to weddings, funerals and black tie dinners, but even for the handful of occasions per year when he does need them, having a great pair of cufflinks just feels special. Plus, they’re probably the kind of thing he wouldn’t think to buy himself until it’s too late and he’s forced to suffer the embarrassment of wearing those little cotton knots his shirt comes back from the dry cleaner with – which means they’re a perfect present. Go classic with these silver and enamel designs form Cartier.
