A community for watch & horology discussion.
Such a sweet idea! Nomos has already been mentioned, but I can second this. I bought my mom a Junghans Max Bill which is a great alternative if you want to stay at 1000$.
Also can't go wrong with a Cartier Tank although that one is a bit over 2000$ (definitly worth it).
All those are available in gold and silver.
+1 Tank!
That's a great idea. For that budget you can't go wrong with Longines. Great watch for the price.
If you want something a little cheaper, Hamilton is a good brand.
As I mentioned in another comment, I really like the Longines also they really look like the one my mother got for my grandma.
I’m a big Nomos fan. Pretty simple design. Good value for the money.
Rado ladies watches are reasonably priced and good quality. Many have the odd diamond markers. Quartz under 1000 easy.
Cartier. The brand has a lot more pull with women than men. The other brands are more well renowned with guys. Cartier is stronger with women imo.
I’ll search more of them, it seems there are many models with different prices
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.
The Cartier tank any given day :)
Longines has some pretty amazing value for money in the 1-3k range.
Longines or Hamilton are perfect options from excellent brands
Do not overlook a Grand Seiko. Might be the best quality to price ratio out there.
