A “simple” watch can be a daily reminder of you every time he checks the time, and when asked who gave it to him, gives him a chance to gush over you to whoever will listen.
This list isn’t a catch-all, so if you see something that’s close, but not quite what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 619-299-1500, or come visit our showroom. We would be more than happy to help you find the perfect gift for him this Valentine’s Day!
