If you know your father well, you can guess what kind of watches he will like. Here's our cheatsheet for you to snag him the perfect Father's Day gift this year
Dad might have gifted you your first "real" wristwatch—not counting the Mickey Mouse (or any Disney character, for that matter) one that nearly every child gets—at 21 years old. Or he could have been the one to pass you the family heirloom piece during graduation for "a job well done". But have you ever noticed that Dad hasn't acquired a new watch for the last decade or so—he's been simply too busy with the company's business. With Father's Day around the corner, why not reignite his passion for watches—every boy loves a new toy occasionally—by introducing a suitable piece that matches his personal interests? If snagging it for him is a viable option for you, that'd be the icing on his cake.

1. For the former watch buff
If your father was a former horlophile, who has his passion diluted by work and family commitments over the years, then the Richard Mille RM 67-01 Automatic Extra Flat is the piece to rekindle the love. It's a sporty yet classic watch that is suitable for both work and play. At the same time, it showcases the high-end watchmaking mastery that the marque has. Take its automatic movement CRMA6, for instance. Designed in-house by the Richard Mille engineers in Les Breuleux, Switzerland, the new calibre measures merely 3.6mm in thickness. Its baseplate and bridges are created from grade 5 titanium and finished with a combination of grey and black electroplasma treatment, adding a subtle touch of swagger to it. With such a beautiful horological masterpiece on his wrist, Dad will surely remember the good old days of him getting excited each time Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie and Baselworld come along and anticipating the new releases for the year.
