Time to Make a Memory


Many people think the gifts we give (especially for a holiday like Valentine's) need to be innately 'romantic.' I disagree. Sometimes a practical gift is much more appreciated: It will probably last longer and get far more use. That's exactly why we're featuring some beautiful timepieces on this week's homepage in the days leading up to V-Day. These are all beautifully crafted watches that will last a lifetime, and even better, all of the auction starting prices (except for one) are under $2,000. Want more? These are brand names that are up to 71% off of retail, a perfect cost-conscious gift for this struggling economy.

If you haven't purchased that gift for him or her yet, now is certainly the time to start shopping. If you order today and ship via our overnight service, you'll have the perfect present at home and wrapped and ready to go by Saturday.

If I had my choice, I would wish for this Cartier Santos Stainless Steel 18k Yellow Gold Automatic Women's Watch. At 63% off of retail, it's an amazing deal. Plus, the mix of white and yellow gold makes it the perfect compliment to any jewelry.

For the guys, I'm a huge fan of this Bell & Ross Vintage 120 Chronograph Stainless Steel Quartz Men's Watch. I love the simplicity of the brand aesthetic, and that it's both classic and modern at the same time. Plus, it's not too fancy and not too casual--it can handle both business and pleasure.
