Want to buy my mom a proper watch! Budget is ~$2K. She’s more of a jewelry person - so cares more about the aesthetic than horological stuff. Has pieces like baume & mercier, longines, and Chanel.

Cartier tank quartz. $2500 on bracelet or a couple hundred bucks cheaper on leather.

Something from Cartier. I’d buy from an AD though, vs a gray like Jomashop.

For what it’s worth, I just bought my wife a tank solo for an anniversary present. Govberg beat the Jomashop price, and it came with full warranty. I’ve bought all my new watches through them, and it’s never made sense to go with Jomashop.

Can’t beat Cartier for these requirements. Figure out which shape she likes and go quartz.

I was looking at a two-tone Santos recently and had negotiated a little more than 20% without a purchase history, if you’re looking for a discount benchmark. Assume steel models would have similar flexibility.

Hermès also has womens watches in that price range. I like the Kelly a lot for a jewelry watch.

As a sometimes-poster of my watches let me introduce you to a new brand and acquisition called "AERONOM" from Germany.

Saw it as a recommendation and was intrigued and have it now.

Here some details:
- Automatic Movement
- Caliber 8217 with 42 hrs Power reserve
- 41,5 mm dial in a 46 mm case of stainless steel
- date window at 3 o'clock
- black diamond at 12 o'clock
- 24 hrs indicator at 9 o'clock

It's one of 200 produced and even though it's heavy and a 46 mm case is big but nice to wear

New to luxury watches. If I were to wear one watch that makes a statement without being too flashy, which one should it be.

I am seeing this as an investment (1) dress to impress, and (2) eventually pass it on to my son who is an investment banker.

Please recommend in 3 ranges: around 6k, up to 12k and 12-16k. tia.

Qq: this says steel and gold. Is the only gold part the bezel or is the bracelet also gold? I’m assuming it’s not, and that the whole bracelet is stainless steel, but the pricing being almost the same as the TT sub throws me off.
