Gift guide · From £300

A watch gift he’ll keep for life.

The best gifts are the ones still worn years later. Every Slaidburn is made by hand in our Whitechapel workshop, limited to 100 of each, and looked after for life. Here is how to choose one for your dad, husband, brother or best man.

For your dad

Something he’ll show everyone.

Dads love a watch with something to talk about. Philanthropist shows its movement running through an open-worked dial; Emperor is the integrated steel sports watch he has always admired.

For your husband

Worn every day, with everything.

For the watch he puts on without thinking: Black One is understated black on black, and Red One brings a red web-cut dial on ivory or navy leather.

For your brother

Bold, bright, never boring.

For the brother who doesn’t do plain: Cobalt in blue, yellow and signal red, or Weapon’s bright yellow dial on brushed steel.

For superhero film fans

For the one who grew up on the films.

Our collection takes its colours from the superhero films many of us grew up with, without a logo in sight. Mercenary in black and red, and Red One with its web-cut dial, are the favourites.

Best man & groomsmen

Matching watches, or one of a kind.

Buying for the whole wedding party? Order the same watch for everyone, or design a one-off for the best man in our custom designer for £750, with an engraving on the back and a private design call to get every detail right.

For several watches or a wedding date, email slaidburnwatches@gmail.com before you order and we will plan the timing with you.
