With the holidays and festive celebrations just around the corner, it's time to get in the gifting spirit. From haute horlogerie for the holidays, chronographs for Christmas or even the perfect dress watch or diver for someone close to you, here at Kennedy, we have curated a selection of six exceptional timepieces that are sure to be cherished for generations to come.

For aficionados of high horology, this perpetual calendar from Parmigiani Fleurier is a gift of absolute distinction. This is in no small part due to the rose gold Toric case, with its coin-edge bezel. The minimalist dial is equally as beautiful, with a hand-grained finish and subtly off-centred calendar registers.

The tourbillon — the constantly moving escapement and balance wheel intended to improve accuracy — is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious complications in watchmaking. Franck Muller has demonstrated its mastery of the art by placing the complication at the very centre of the watch, making this a true work of art.

For a chronograph that's truly out of this world, it's hard to beat this steel Zenith Chronomaster Sport with a dial crafted from a thin slice of meteorite. Whether you're looking for a gift that will make for a great everyday watch or one of the most important chronograph calibres ever made, it's hard to go past this Zenith.

Cartier is famed for its combination of bold design and classical appeal, and this Santos de Cartier Skeleton watch is a perfect example of why. The rose gold case and bracelet form the perfect frame for the stark skeleton of the calibre. A simply stunning gift.

Channelling the charm of the 1960s, Piaget's latest ladies' timepiece, the Sixtie, offers an unconventional trapezoidal case with a stepped design and smooth flowing bracelet. With its slender profile and soft silhouette, the Piaget Sixtie is a refined choice for a woman with style.

Blending unimpeachable dive watch heritage with a host of contemporary elements like the titanium case and 5-day automatic calibre with silicon balance spring, this 42mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms makes for a gift that will be cherished for years to come.
