If you're browsing gifts for son and want something that checks all the boxes – cool, useful, personal – start here. The Classic Ebony Maple Burl Watch blends smooth dark wood with a one-of-a-kind maple burl dial that’s full of character. The swirling patterns? Completely natural. No two are alike.
