    PRINTED INSIDE THE LID OF THE BOX

    To My Son

    I had eighteen years of you.
    The rest of them are yours.

    I will not pretend that was easy for me.

    I KNOW WHAT YOU CARRY.
    YOU JUST NEVER SAY IT.

    This watch has no battery.
    It only keeps time while you are wearing it.
    It stops when you stop.
    So do not stop.

    EVERY HOUR IT COUNTS IS YOURS.
    I AM JUST GLAD I GOT THE FIRST ONES.

    He reads this before he sees the watch.

    THE OPENWORK WATCH · $89.99

    No battery. It only runs while he is wearing it.

    A self-winding mechanical movement behind an openwork dial, on a genuine leather band. It stops when he takes it off and starts when he puts it back on. The card explains why that matters.

    He is grown, and he carries a lot

    He has a job, maybe a family of his own, and a habit of telling you everything is fine. This says: I know it is not always, and I am proud of you anyway.

    You do not have to find the words

    The card is already written. It says the thing that is hard to say out loud, in a voice he will recognize as yours.

    It is not another gift card

    A gift card is spent and forgotten. A watch he wears is a reminder every morning that someone had him first.

    Christmas is the one day he will let you

    He opens the box in front of everyone, reads the lid, and goes quiet for a second. That second is the gift.

    WHO THIS IS FOR

    BEFORE YOU ORDER

    Questions parents ask

    Can I change the words on the card?

    Not on this design. The card is printed exactly as shown, and that wording is the reason parents choose it. Versions from Dad and for a grandson are coming next.

    Is the watch really automatic?

    Yes. It is a self-winding mechanical movement with an openwork dial, so he can see it running. There is no battery. The motion of his wrist keeps it wound. If he leaves it off for a day or two it will stop; put it back on and it starts again. Time is set by pulling the crown.

    How long until it arrives?

    Each watch is made to order in the USA. Allow 1 to 3 business days for production, then 2 to 5 business days for US shipping. A faster 1 to 3 day priority option is available at checkout. For Christmas, order by December 10 to be safe.

    Will it fit his wrist?

    The genuine leather band adjusts from 6.6 to 8.5 inches (168 to 216 mm), which covers most adult men. The case is 3 ATM water resistant with a hardened mineral crystal.

    Can I ship it straight to him?

    Yes. Enter his address at checkout. If you would like a handwritten note tucked in with the box, add Gift Wrap with Personalized Message before you check out.

    What if something is wrong when it arrives?

    Send us a photo within 30 days and we will replace it or refund you. You are giving this to your son; it has to be right.
