Even if you’re a man and can easily get away with wearing jeans and a simple t-shirt on normal days, New Year’s Eve should be the exception when you show off your fashionable taste, dress-up to the nines and open a new chapter in style. Needless to say that a black-tie look calls for an equally formal timepiece to highlight your knack for everything sophisticated.

When looking for such watches, the options are literally endless. And if you think that this fact makes it easier to find the perfect timepiece, you are absolutely wrong. We all need help sometimes and we will offer you some! 

What would be the ideal black-tie watch? It’s an elegant yet simple case supplied with leather straps. And if you think that horological complications can’t be part of this equation, you are partially wrong. Some complications keep the case design slim and understated and this is absolutely fine, while others make the case thicker and transform the black-tie watch into a sportier piece – which is not what we are looking for in this situation.

Without any further ado, visit the Photo Gallery below and take a look at the best options out there. This is the best way to welcome the New Year, don’t you agree?
