TL;DR: A pocket watch beats another branded pen or gift card because it’s something a client or staff member actually keeps on their desk or in a drawer for years. The trick is matching the piece to the person (a full hunter for the traditionalist, brass for a smaller budget, engraving for the milestone hire)…
TL;DR: A proper Father’s Day gift for dad in Australia usually comes down to a pocket watch he’ll actually use: a full hunter or gold-tone finish for the formal dresser, brass or black for the casual dad, and engraving when you want it to become a family piece. This guide walks through picking the right…
TL;DR: Clean a pocket watch with a dry microfibre cloth first, then a barely damp one for the case only, never the crown or the mechanism. Skip household polish, ultrasonic cleaners and anything abrasive on gold or brass finishes, and get a proper service every few years if it’s mechanical. Do that and a good…
TL;DR: A hunter case pocket watch has a hinged metal lid that snaps shut over the dial, while an open face pocket watch leaves the dial exposed under nothing but the crystal. The choice comes down to how much protection you want, whether you like glancing at the time in one motion or flipping a…
TL;DR: A skeleton pocket watch has its case and dial cut away so you can see the gears, springs and balance wheel doing their thing. They’re pricier than a standard pocket watch because more hand-finishing goes into the movement, but they photograph beautifully and make a genuine talking-point gift. This guide covers how the mechanism…
TL;DR: Christmas gifts for men in Australia work best when they last past the new year. A pocket watch does that: it is a keepsake he can carry, display or pass on, and selected styles can carry an engraved message. FOB & Co has gold, silver, black and brass styles, from half hunters to a…
TL;DR: Cufflinks come in a handful of core styles, whale-back, chain-link, ball-return, fixed-backing and novelty, and the fastening you pick matters as much as the design. Match the style to the cuff (French or barrel), the occasion (black tie, business, groomsmen duty), and don’t be afraid to pair a good set with a pocket watch…
TL;DR: A pocket watch works with a suit or waistcoat when the chain length, pocket placement and dial style match the occasion, from a single Albert chain tucked into a waistcoat pocket for weddings to a chunkier double Albert for everyday wear with a jacket. Get the chain long enough to sit with a gentle…
Range update: FOB & Co no longer sells nurses fob watches. This article is an informational guide. Our current pocket watches are gifts and personal accessories, not a replacement for a workplace-approved clinical watch. Check your employer’s requirements and the watch manufacturer’s care instructions before choosing a watch for work. TL;DR: A nurses fob watch…
TL;DR: A hip flask is a lifetime piece if you treat it properly: rinse it after every use, never leave spirits sitting in it for weeks, and skip the dishwasher entirely. Stainless steel is the easiest metal to live with, pewter needs a gentler hand, and a splash of white vinegar sorts out most odour…
