With Father’s Day right around the corner, Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers has assembled some great gift ideas to show dad how much you appreciate him.
For the Business Man:
Timeless classics like our St. Christopher cufflinks are always fashionable and add a sense of style and professionalism to any suit. To make it more personal, have dad’s initials engraved on our sterling silver cufflinks or money clip. Engraved orders must be placed by June 14th.
For the Frequent Traveler:
One of the most understated yet personalized complications of a fine timepiece is a GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Originally created by British mariners to calculate their longitude, GMT or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) has since been used extensively in railways, aviation and military for coordinating times. However, for the dad who is often traveling in different time zones, the GMT feature on a watch allows him to set a second-time zone indicating the time at home. These types of watches can be found in the brands we carry.
With St. Christopher as the Patron Saint of Safe Travels, our classic St. Christopher medals are a perfect gift for the man on the go! These medallions can be personalized with dad’s initials or a special message, and then placed on a neck chain or key ring. If purchasing a St. Christopher medal for a key ring, please ask us to solder the jump ring; and if adding engraving, orders need to be placed by June 14.
For the Handyman:
Instruments for Professionals, as the Breitling slogan goes, Breitling has been manufacturing fine Swiss timepieces since 1884 with the concept of function over form in mind. Two great watches for the handyman are the Aerospace Evo and the Colt Skyracer.
The Aerospace Evo is a slim, 43mm titanium case watch that is a favorite among aviation and military engineers and mechanics for over 30 years due to the robust functionality, lightness and strength of materials.
The Colt Skyracer, which was introduced this year has quickly adopted as a Breitling fan favorite. Made with Breitling’s proprietary material, Breitlite, which is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel yet exceptional resistant to scratches, traction, corrosion and magnetism. The Colt Skyracer features a detachable strap that serves as a measuring tool in addition to the blacked-out sporty look at an entry level price.Both models are available at Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers Whitefish Bay.
For the Techie:
An affinity for all things technical, a love for mechanical watches tend to fall into this category of hobbies. Why not give him a gadget that will keep his watches going with a watch winder.
If he is more partial to the electronic tech, we carry two of the highly revolutionary Swiss connected watches. The Breitling Exospace B-55, which serves as an incredible watch for the frequent traveler (especially for pilots) allows the wearer to change time zones from their phone automatically on the watch, set 7 alarms, receive SMS, email and event notification, as well as log block-off, take-off, landing and block-on times.
New this year is the TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45. Partnering with Google and Intel, the TAG Heuer Connected Modular brings the wearer the best of both worlds: Swiss luxury watchmaking and Silicon Valley Technology. This smartwatch features supreme personalization, 50m water resistant, GPS compatible, voice command and Google Translate for an exceptional price
