Father’s Day is a great opportunity to gift your dad with something that represents the one thing we all want more of: time. These five great timepieces are chosen for their special qualities of appeal to a diverse range of archetypal fathers. The Omega Sedna, with its patented rose gold alloy, is for the alchemist who grooves on new materials. The Hermès Dressage Chrono contains quality manufacture movement for the connoisseur who knows his calibers; the Bell & Ross Vintage Sport Falcon is for the aviator buff and inner top-gun in every dad; the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon is perfect for the father who has everything; and the classic Patek Philippe 5227 is for the lover of classics – with the added bonus that this is the brand that advertises: “You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.”

Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227: The Calatrava is about as classic as it gets, with discreet trapezoidal markers in gold and small golden dots for the minutes. The officer’s style dust cover on the caseback has an inverted hinge that can barely be seen. The automatic caliber 324 SC has a Gyromax balance.
Bell & Ross BR 126 Vintage Sport Falcon is a tribute to aviation history, specifically the Mystère-Falcon 20, an iconic, 10-passenger commercial jet of the 1960s. With an ultra-curved, high-dome crystal, black bezel and 100-meter water resistance.
Omega Constellation Sedna: A showcase for the brand’s new proprietary 18k rose gold alloy, a blend of gold, copper and palladium. The palladium preserves the color of the gold, which can otherwise fade over time. The Omega Co-Axial caliber 8501 has a silicon balance spring.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon: This is also a perpetual calendar, inspired by the brand’s 19th-century perpetual calendar pocket watches. The caliber 985 flying tourbillon is equipped with a cylindrical balance spring. The carriage is made of grade 5 titanium.
Hermès Dressage Chronograph. This movement features a Dubois Depraz, chronograph module on the Hermes caliber H1925 for the new Dressage Chronograph. With a premium Havana alligator strap, on a Dressage case with its distinctive stirrup-inspired lugs.
