These are all relatively uncomplicated keepers with well rehearsed movements which will not cost the earth to fix or service. But they all punch above their price point in quality. They are fun, with a good range of colours to choose from, and they are all in a small way, design  standouts in a sea of uniformity.  Swiss brand heritage; Scottish artisan flair; USA audacity. These are my choices. I might pass them to my children but probably not, because they don?t understand either what a watch is, or that their Dad might carry a little style.
Rado Captain Cook 37mm – $1800-$2000

The smaller Captain Cook is unobtrusively stylish and fits the meagre wrists of both girls and boys without angst. It?s tough, thin, Swiss, accurate and the ceramic bezel is unscratchable. The 80 hour Powermatic movement is bang up to date and will sit all weekend on a bedside table and be ready for Monday morning. This is the ideal, go anywhere, do anything beater watch for anyone who doesn?t actually require 300m of water resistance (that?s all of us).
