Corporate Gifts: Why Watches Are The Perfect Retirement Send Off
For all of the retirement presents you could possibly buy, none will send quite the same message as a watch. Of course, we might be slightly biased - but the truth is, we’ve organised enough corporate retirement gifts to know.
When it comes to recognising a key member, or even a few members of your team for their dedicated work, it’s important to pick something that they’ll not only love now - but will serve them well into the future. So if a corporate retirement gift watch is sitting near the top of your list, here’s our favourite reasons as to why it should be the clear number one.
Thank them for their time, with time
There’s no better way to show your appreciation for a lifetime of service than with the gift of time. Because when they’ve dedicated a large portion of theirs into the pursuit of success, profit and acclaim for your company, isn’t a watch the best way to memorialise that? The symbolic weight behind the gesture in a watch won’t go unnoticed - there’s a reason it has been a corporate gift name-stay for so many years.
Something they can cherish
Chocolates are great. Socks are nice. An experience is thoughtful. But all of them are perishable, either physically or in memory. A watch, however, is a gesture that will stay with them for the rest of their life. Every time they wind it up, strap it on, or polish it over - they’ll be reminded of all of the happy memories over the years in their role. And if they decide to pass it down to their children or grandchildren, it will serve as a reminder that hard work and tenacity are something to be eternally proud of.

Make it personal
If your concern behind gifting a watch as a retirement gesture is that it’s not personalised enough - simply personalise it yourself. Watches are some of the easiest statement pieces to add a special touch to, given that you can make use of the blank space on the back of the watch face. Pick a few choice words, have it engraved with a specialist, and present it in a beautiful mahogany box they can keep forever, as a part of the overall sentiment.
