Our Graduation Gift Guide 2024
Art Graduate
If you want to buy a gift for an art graduate, this timepiece is the one. A mastery of light and colour, it heroes the artwork of JMW Turner. His ‘Scarlet Sunset’ painting covers the entirety of the dial and the top side of the silicone strap; serving as a romantic reminder of the English landscape. As well as this, the watch represents a journey through time, genre and self-expression; three key elements that any art graduate will have experienced over their years of hard work. A graduation gift perfect for everyday wear, embrace the stunning shades of a sunset with this JMW Turner-inspired timepiece.
Law Graduate
Understated yet elegant perfectly describes the ideal watch within the law industry; this Jacques du Manoir captures that essence greatly. Beautifully simple, its blue and gold colour scheme complements a variety of smart attire. As well as this, thanks to its precise Swiss-made quartz movement, the timepiece ensures great accuracy. You can concentrate on the courtroom and your verdict while remaining confident that your watch will keep ticking away.
Music Graduate
The best type of gift is one that lasts, and this Nomination charm stands the test of time. Gifting it to your music graduate as a token (or should we say, note) of appreciation will be a huge hit! For a touch of glamour, the central rose gold quaver note features three white cubic zirconia stones. Sparkling from every angle, they jazz up the charm perfectly; ensuring it stands out amongst any others on a bracelet. And talking of other charms, why not gift another music-inspired piece? After all, your graduate’s hard work has paid off and they deserve to be treated.
Sport Graduate
The sports industry is a demanding yet fulfilling place. Graduates will face many challenges, so having a companion with them every step of the way is a must. With advanced training features, 24/7 health and wellness monitoring, and up to more than a month of battery life with the Power Sapphire solar lens, Garmin’s Fenix 7 Pro fits the bill perfectly. Rugged, robust and resilient, it is ready to help its wearer be their best and know their best; conquering each day one hour at a time
Medical Graduate
Fob watches make the hectic life of any medical graduate easier, and while they are often an essential part of the uniform, they also offer a touch of style. Practical and functional, giving a fob watch as a graduation gift is a thoughtful way to showcase your appreciation for this healthcare hero. The day-to-day life of a medical graduate is full on, so having a way to always keep time is essential. With a fob watch, all they have to do is look down and the time is there; it’s as simple as that.
Business Graduate
A business graduate will want a watch that complements their daily formal attire. So naturally, a dress watch, like this Roamer, is the preferred choice. Sure to impress in the business world, its sleek black dial features chronograph elements as well as a date aperture at 4 o’clock. However, even though the watch follows a more sporty design, it still oozes sophistication. Perfect for important meetings, job interviews and everything in between, your graduate will be thrilled to open this at their ceremony; ready to enter the business industry in style.
Fashion Graduate
Jewellery gifts that represent major life achievements, like graduation, are best expressed in gold, pearls and various gemstones. Therefore, this Radley pair is a thoughtful gift to give your fashionista on the day of their ceremony. This classic combination embraces uniquely shaped gold-plated links and genuine Freshwater pearls; they ooze great opulence. With their distinctive feminine design, these drop earrings are sure to grab the eye, and heart, of any fashion graduate.
Environmental Graduate
As the name suggests, environmental graduates are all about protecting the planet. Something that reflects this would be their preferred gift, so this Mondaine watch is a great option. While retaining the brand’s iconic Swiss Railways watch look, the timepiece is made from a variety of sustainable materials. From its green case made of Ricinus oil-based polyamide to its green fabric strap lined with cork, the watch is as eco-friendly as it is stylish.
