Graduation Gift for Son

The Openwork Watch from All Love Here comes with the “Take the Long View” message card. This graduation Gift for Son gives the recipient a piece to wear and a written message to keep. The dedication above is the wording shown on the card for this particular design.

The message behind the gift

A father can give his son this Openwork Watch when the graduation program is folded away and the people who helped him get there are still in the room. ‘Take the Long View’ asks him to enjoy their company and recognize the work he already put in. It ends on trust in his judgment, a thoughtful message for a graduate who may spend the day answering questions about where he is headed.

If you are his dad, one way to present the gift is to tell him about a decision he made during school that showed you how he thinks. It might be changing a project, keeping a commitment, or asking someone for advice before choosing for himself.

Make the graduation keepsake easy to place in time

Before the gift exchange, decide whether your son will have room to keep track of the box during the ceremony. A watch can be an option he tries on at home first or keeps until he wants to wear it. The card from Dad is clear about what it marks, so it can be saved apart from the piece if that suits him. If you add a date or the name of his school to your own note, he will have a quick way to remember this graduation if he comes across both messages years later.

Openwork Watch design and specifications

Through the openwork dial, he can see parts of the automatic movement behind the watch hands. The face is covered with hardened mineral crystal. A genuine black leather strap frames the case and gives the watch a quieter look alongside the busier details of the dial.

Open dial and genuine black leather strap

  • Automatic movement and openwork dial
  • Genuine black leather strap
  • Hardened mineral crystal
  • 3 ATM water resistance for splashes
  • 200 mm band with an adjustment range of 168 to 216 mm

Deciding how he might wear it

Consider what he does on the days he usually puts on a watch. The black leather strap can work with a shirt for a dinner out or with casual clothes for a family visit, while the open dial gives him something to look at whenever he checks the time. The automatic movement gets its power from wrist motion during wear.

Questions before you order

Does the Openwork Watch use a battery?

The watch has an automatic mechanical movement that is powered by motion when worn. The openwork dial lets the wearer see part of that mechanism through the hardened mineral crystal. An automatic watch can stop after resting for a while, so the wearer may need to set the time again.

What wrist sizes does the strap accommodate?

The black genuine leather strap has a listed adjustment range of 168 to 216 mm (about 6.6 to 8.5 inches). Measure around the recipient’s wrist at the point where the case will sit and compare that circumference with the adjustment range. The separate strap length is listed as 200 mm.

Customer photo review of To My Grandson Necklace from Grandma, Always Remember Grandson Necklace

Late review, but my boyfriend LOVES his necklace & the cute little box that it came in. He almost cried when he read the little saying inside of the box. He now wears his necklace 24/7 & doesn’t take it off because it’s something that he cherishes from me.

To My Grandson Necklace from Grandma, Always Remember Grandson Necklace

Bought this necklace in gold for my 16 year old granddaughter. When it arrived, I could not believe the beautiful packaging and how the necklace was presented. When the box lid was opened, a light appeared on the necklace and showed its beauty. I was able to customize the message that appeared inside the box which made the gift very personal. The jewelry was more than I expected it to be and my granddaughter loved it.

Love the necklace. I think you should put the poem on card size magnet instead of a piece of paper. I would have gave you a 5. It would feel like it’s more from the heart .for the refrigerator or wallet purse. Just my 2% . would recommend you.

I purchased this bracelet for my son after he passed away at the age of 23 from his 2 brothers. I let them personalize the card and we had his monument made so the bracelet and card are made into the monument. His brothers got matching bracelets as well and having this between the 3 of them has helped them heal and know that Ethan is always going to be with us. I could not express my thanks in words! My cup runneth over
