Hello r/Watches ! the reason I'm creating this post today is that I want to buy my mother a watch with my first salary. Even though I follow this subreddit, I can't say I know a lot about watches nor I have the budget for them. So, I need your expertise .
In our family, there's a tradition of buying a gift with the first paycheck (even if it wasn't, I would still want to buy one), and my mom gifted a watch to my grandma with her first salary. My grandma has been wearing the watch my mom gave her every day for 30-40 years. So, it's important to me that the watch I choose is timeless and suitable for daily wear. My mom usually wears silver jewelry, but I know she has worn gold-colored items due to gifts we've given her in the past. My budget right now is 1-2k € but if you think there's an exceptional watch that's worth a bit more, I can be flexible.
Thank you all in advance for your recommendations and ideas.
Longines for sure. I bought my mum a Longines Prima Luna and she loves it. I bought my wife a Nomos and she doesn't like it tbh. I think she would like it more if it was on a bracelet. I have both a Longines and a Nomos myself but i don't think I would buy another Nomos.
