Compared to other countries, the Philippines had already begun its celebration of Christmas on the first day of September. Given such, the growing pace of the holiday rush in the country, varying levels of commitment, often leaves time strained and disorganized when alongside the other yuletide necessities such as shopping line waiting and party planning. As a way to give its customers the means to maximize each moment of the holiday season, The Watch Store presents a selection of timepieces that blend classic and contemporary styles that also serve as a thoughtful gift for the budding enthusiast.

On November 16, the brand unveiled its holiday collection a month prior during its “Timeless Presents” event, offering an array of designs from Swiss brands such as Tissot, Frederique Constant, and Alpina. The event also shared the stage with fashion brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Bering.
Tissot
Having fostered its heritage in watchmaking in Le Locle, Switzerland for over 170 years, Tissot reflects its emphasis on versatility and longevity within each timepiece. One of its well-known designs, the PRX Powermatic 80 series offers light green and blue gradient variants for The Watch Store’s holiday catalog, ideal for those looking for a companion no matter the occasion.
Frederique Constant
In 1988, Aletta and Peter Stas learned the craft of horology alongside Geneva watchmakers to design their own watch collections. Since then, the brand has expanded its line of timepieces while retaining its signature heartbeat design, giving a glimpse of the watch’s internal mechanisms.
With its longstanding partnership with The Watch Store, the Swiss brand shares its range of contemporary and traditional designs with the Manufacture Slimline Moonphase Date, Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar, and Manufacture Classic Power Reserve Big Date watches as an apt gift to those who appreciate the heritage and intricacies of watchmaking.
Alpina
A favorite of athletes, engineers, and soldiers, Alpina upholds its Swiss heritage with contemporary designs, creating pieces that are built to last for generations. Showcasing its Alpiner Extreme Automatic and Automatic Chronograph timepieces for the holiday season, the brand emphasizes the details of its signature triangle pattern across the dial as well as the durability of its stainless enclosure and strap.
Calvin Klein
After establishing its identity as a reputable fashion brand, Calvin Klein later ushered its own line of watches, shifting its focus from the traditional to a fashion-driven design language. Included in the seasonal collection, Calvin Klein’s CK Pulse and CK Iconic Auto variants utilize their signature approach to watchmaking to cater to those in need of either a functional accessory or a simplified timekeeper.
Tommy Hilfiger
Blending America’s traditional and modern fashion cultures, Tommy Hilfiger extends its design language to the intricate craftsmanship of watchmaking. While reflecting on the brand’s combination of sophisticated and laid-back styles, the TH85 Automatic and Lori models also serve as a fitting couples’ gift for the holiday season, boasting colored details within a stainless steel construction as a means to blend seamlessly into any look.
Bering
What was once an idea born from an Arctic adventure between friends, founders Michael Witt Johansen and René Gross Kaerskov created a brand inspired by the polar region infused with Danish design. Offering a pair of watches for the holiday ensemble, the Bering Classic Stainless Steel and Solar Blue Steel watches highlight the brand’s affinity for the Arctic hue while utilizing adaptable designs that serve as befitting accent pieces to an outfit.
