They say clothes maketh a man. A good watch forms the basis of a put-together look and this is especially true for men. With many of us returning to the office, it's time to shop for timepieces. The Yahoo shopping team has compiled a range of dress and luxury watches at differing price ranges to bring you from casual to work to formal occasions. Looking for watches that you can pass down to the next generation? We've got you covered as well!
Considering the increase in the GST (Goods and Services Tax) from the existing 7% to 9% come 2022, and also the imposition of GST on imported goods of up to S$400 come 1 January 2023, we say, why wait? The time to shop is right now!
Dress watches
You know how women say they can't have too many handbags or shoes; the same applies to men and watches. There's no such thing as too many watches for the gentlemen.

Luxury timepieces
Wish to make an investment that you get to enjoy immediately? Consider a luxury watch from a luxury house with a long history like Rolex or Patek Philippe. When looking out for a luxury timepiece, check out models that are classics, limited editions or one-of-a-kind designs that are no longer in production. Also, keep your options open and give the pre-own market a chance. There may be pieces that are no longer available in the retail market, or exclusive watches you cannot get anywhere else. Just be mindful to double-check the condition of the watch, its accessories, as well as verify its authenticity.
But pay a five-figure sum for an online luxury purchase? Why not? Think about it, with the on-going travel restrictions, the world is at your fingertips when you head online. You get to pick the exact vintage or luxury timepiece that may not even be available in Singapore.
Not only would you be able to own a slice of heritage at an affordable price tag, but your next generation is also guaranteed a timepiece that has stood the test of time. Here are some of our top picks.
