What watch could be described as 'classy' please?

[midnightmoon8]

I'd like to treat myself to a grown up watch and be a bit more stylish. It's to wear to work (full time office job). I can't find anything I'd describe as 'classy'. Please can anyone offer me some inspiration?

If money was no object, I'd buy this one www.chanel.com/en_GB/watches-jewellery/watches/p/mademoiselle-prive/H3097

I am pretty baffled by the number of posters suggesting Cartier watches... they are super expensive!
Having said that, without a budget and some idea of the style what the op is after, it's quite tough to make suggestions.
I like a watch that I never take off. I have had Tag Heuer and Breitling and neither has aged despite the fact I have worn them both 24/7 in shower/pool/sea.

Fiona Bruce always wears her white Chanel J12, and she is pretty classy.

I have a men's gold citizen watch with a black face. get lots of compliments on it.

I have a very plain stainless steel quartz watch with a mother of pearl face as its only bling. DH has a stainless steel automatic watch with a little window through to a segment of the movement. Both were a couple of hundred pounds. To me they’re classy in the sense of going with anything, not standing out or being ostentatious.

I know someone who bought an Audemars Piguet Millenary. In beige. You can see the mechanism - weird shape and very ostentatious. It’s beyond hideous and cost around 25K. Money doesn’t equal class.

I like the J12 but I think, given the price, that they are a bit of a "now" thing. Not sure how cool they'll look in 10 years.
Personally I quite like a Tag Heuer Monaco. I have just found out they do a ladies one. BUT it's a leather strap so not the type you keep on forever on your wrist.

J12 is cool but not classy. If you want to wear a sporty watch buy a sporty brand. J12 is for people who don’t get the Chanel aesthetic but want the brand cache

MorrisZapp which tag do you have?

Cartier Tank

To the posters with Tag Heuer's...

Which model would you recommend please? I have a significant birthday coming up and my family want to pull together for a gift.

I like the look of the basic one I think it's called aqua racer. Which model would look most polished / be most classy for everyday use?

I have a stainless steel,, small Maurice Lacroix watch with roman numerals and a white face. Had it since 2001, has never gone wrong and gets lots of compliments. It is v v discreet and I wouldn't swap it.

@80percent - My oldest Tag is a Tag Link from 2001. I love the bracelet as its quite distinctive.

My most recent Tag is a Tag Formula 1

ladies Tag Link

i bought the Forumla 1 from Watchmaster and was in perfect condition but cheaper than on the highstreet.

I have one of these - wore it for 20 years and loved it. Sadly now needs a major service which I can't justify (no longer wear a watch).

@saralou63 that is stunning. So simple and beautiful

I like the Georg Jensen Concave range, and Calvin Klein.

I think Oxbridge watches are classy, but again it depends on your budget. www.oxbridgewatches.com/

Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso - has a manual mechanism, top class watchmaking and understated.

Also buy pre-owned from a reputable dealer, you'll save a fortune if you're not bothered by buying second hand (pardon the pun)

I'm hinting for a Cartier tank for my 30th. If I don't get one I'll probably cry.

Another fan of Fossill - love mine

Ladies Tissot watch. I have one, although daughter pinched it. Swiss and superb quality

I have a Tissot and adore it.
