Top 10 Best Watch Brands for Men

When it comes to choosing a men’s watch, the brand behind the timepiece often tells a story: heritage, craftsmanship, style and value. At Bannon Jewellers we carry a wide selection of premium watches and today we highlight ten standout brands that combine quality and appeal.

How to Select a Watch for Men

Choosing the right watch is about more than keeping time. It is about finding a piece that suits your lifestyle, reflects your personal style and offers lasting quality. When selecting a men’s watch, consider where you will wear it, the type of movement you prefer and the craftsmanship of the brand. With so many excellent options available, it helps to begin with trusted names known for their design and performance.

Here are ten of the best watch brands for men available at Bannon Jewellers.

1. Tissot
