As a result, the classic watch has evolved in years, taking it from practical time-piece to an indicator of style and social standing.

Watch types have developed to include dates, multiple time zones, games and some serious jewels. Regardless of how much you spent on the suit you’re wearing, it’s the watch that commands attention.

And with so many to choose from, which is right for you?

Figuring out the features you want in the watch is imperative to scaling down the models available. If you don’t need multiple time zones, don’t go for the chronographs and if you don’t have any particular use for a rotating watch bezel, you can strike those out too. Be relentless. If you plan on spending big money, go for the features you need. If it’s sole purpose is to embellish your wrist on a weekend, adjust your values accordingly.

Make sure the shape and size of the face suits you too. A large bulky watch on a small wrist will not look proportionate, while a trendy face may date very quickly.

The watch’s strap represents a very large part its first impression (and one which is highly underrated). To maintain a professional and serious image, buy a watch with metal links. Leather straps work too, but they need care. 

Here is our guide to everything you needed to know about watches (but were afraid to ask). 

Time Management Tips

2. Prioritise. Delegate if necessary and establish a routine.

3. Focus. Do not get distracted. Add things to your to-do list/calendar as they come up and set goals.

4. Motivate yourself. Doing something as simple as crossing the item off the list provides enough enthusiasm to tackle the next thing.

5. Reward yourself. Even if that means walking around the block and getting some fresh air. If you’ve achieved your goal for the day, take a breather!
