My watchmaker has worked on multiple watches for me the past few months and he's done an amazing job. As a small thank you, I'm hoping to give him a small gift but was hoping to get some ideas here. I was initially thinking about a book but I recall him having a lot of books on watches so I don't want to get him a duplicate.

Any ideas?

 

I'd definitely think of something not watch related depending on his interests but nothing says I love you like a single #6 endlink

 

A nice single malt or bourbon (if he drinks)?

 

MoonSwatch!

Boxes from these places are popular with friends:

https://www.usinger.com/gifts/

I recommend the latter because they've been making sausages in Milwaukee going on 150 years.

 

He doesn't drink but I'll buy a bottle for myself since you brought it up.

 

Cool idea!

 

I'll look into these. Thanks for sharing!

 

A powerful magnet on a long stick?

(Borrowed from a previous post by @Archer, showing Philippe Dufour on the floor looking for a part.)

 

Son attending Marquette. Been to Usingers many times. Good stuff!

 

Have you had any frozen custard yet? I personally do not care for it, but a lot of people do and we're known for it.

 

I'm in the Chicago burbs. We have alot of frozen custard here too. It's OK - but I prefer real ice cream. Chocolate chip mint is my fav.

 

If I had floors like that, the gaps between the floorboards would be filled with screws and springs.

I agree something non-watch related would be nice. Best I can come up with is a vinyl record you think he'd enjoy, unless you're fairly certain he doesn't own a record player (a gift that requires more investment defeats the purpose). Or a book about something else he's potentially interested in.

 

Some good gourmet coffee or tea? People who are not into alcohol are usually into at least one of these 2 ( i think..)
