Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas – Luxury Watch Brands, Isa Grutman Jewelry, and Watch Accessories

Each Valentine’s Day, people of all ages try to come up with gift ideas more unique than red roses and truffle chocolates. Sure, you can write a sentimental greeting card. In the 18th century, legend says that St. Valentine himself was the cause of this romance, as he wrote his lover a note that he signed, ‘Your Valentine,’ before he was, unfortunately, executed. If you’re seeking gift ideas a bit more on the lavish side, Avi & Co. is your destination for luxury.

The holiday didn’t begin until the 5th century when Pope Gelasius wanted to replace a previous pagan festivity by commemorating Valentine on the Saint’s execution date, February 14th. About 1,000 years later, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote a poem titled The Parliament of Foules, finally connecting the day with romance.

Nothing says romance more than one of our luxury timepieces, delicate Isa Grutman Jewelry, or favorite watch accessories. Whether it’s your first holiday as a couple or your 50th, Avi & Co. ensures you find exactly what you want with a seamless, luxury experience.

Forget the flowers and chocolates. Buy them something that will last a lifetime:

Richard Mille worked in the fine jewelry and watch business in France for years. He wanted to start his own luxury watch company that didn’t compromise on technique, artistry, or architecture. He officially launched the Richard Mille brand in 2001.

Avi & Co. stocks the largest inventory of prestigious Richard Mille watches compared to any luxury watch brands in New York City. What makes Richard Mille watches stand out are the distinctive, tonneau-shaped casings with a sandwich-like design. These timepieces are created with innovative materials such as carbon fiber and titanium, perfect for scratch-resistance and playing high-intensity sports. There really is no other watch quite like a Richard Mille, which is why this makes the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift.

Richard Mille is also well known for the company’s remarkable collaborations that breathe life into the brand. Our showcases at Avi & Co. are adorned with iconic partnerships that span the worlds of racing, sports, and entertainment. It’s this union of exceptional talent that elevates every Richard Mille watch to an instant legend. The 38-01 Bubba Watson or a RM 011 Felipe Massa are just two examples of unparalleled craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.

A Richard Mille watch is a symbol of exclusivity. If you’re seeking a rare and appreciative gift idea, look no further than Avi & Co.’s extensive Richard Mille collection. With the brand’s limited edition models, your recipient won’t bump into someone wearing the same timepiece while perusing the city.

After years of working to perfect their craft, founders Antoine Patek and Adrien Philippe created the first Patek Philippe watch in 1868. Later in 1932, the Stern brothers purchased Patek Philippe. They successfully went on to launch some of the most iconic models, such as the memorable Calatrava and the infamous Nautilus.

Whether you seek a Nautilus with a diamond bezel or chronograph function, we have a specific model for everyone. A fan-favorite, the #5990/1A, is assembled with a stainless steel case for everyday wear. The blue dial is a great accent for any outfit.

Watch enthusiasts regard Patek Philippe as one of the most influential watch manufacturers in the world. Their models spans generations and generations of watchmaking. Since 1932, Patek Philippe has pushed the boundaries in watchmaking standards. The Stern family continues to run the brand today, with Thierry Stern as president since 2009.

When you purchase an elegant Patek Philippe watch, it’s more than just a gift. It’s a legacy and symbol of everlasting commitment. Renowned for its exquisite heritage, each watch is a masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of luxury and sophistication. Express your enduring love this Valentine’s Day with a Patek Philippe watch.

This watchmaking brand originated in 1875 in the quaint Swiss Village of Le Brassus in Vallée de Joux, north of Geneva. It was founded by two young entrepreneurs and childhood friends Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet. Audemars Piguet instantly distinguished itself in the watchmaking industry with its Grand Complication pieces.

The two entrepreneurs made a wonderful team. Audemars focused on creating complex watch movements to sell to watch manufacturers while Piguet focused on the regulation of watch movements. Audemars Piguet continues to push the limits of horological creativity, further solidifying the brand as the Master of Watchmaking.

A Royal Oak is a gift that your significant other will spot from a mile away. Our durable 41 mm stainless steel 50th Anniversary celebrates the heritage of the brand with a captivating khaki green dial adorned with the iconic ‘Grande Tapisserie’ pattern. If they would prefer a slightly smaller case size with complications such as date and chronograph functions, the 37 mm Royal Oak Offshore would be another enjoyable gift idea. Equipped with a gem-set bezel, plum dial, and no hour markers, this is a fun way to stand out this winter.

Transcend the ordinary and embody a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Gifting a masterpiece such as an Audemars Piguet for Valentine’s Day is a genuine gesture that goes beyond the ordinary and shares an appreciation for the extraordinary.

Hans Wilsdorf founded Rolex in 1902. A successful watchmaker, Wilsdorf strived to create technically advanced watches with precise movements. Rolex became instantly recognizable. The brand always remained true to Wilsdorf’s vision, creating watches to accompany their owner on all their life adventures.

The pursuit of excellence is what keeps Rolex on top. The manufacturer tests every single watch to extremes before even allowing the product to leave the Rolex site. Today, Rolex continues to create new collections and revamp its classics.

If your spouse has a smaller wrist, consider a 36 mm Rolex such as our turquoise diamond Roman dial Day-Date. It has an eye-catching and exuberant design that will make an excellent addition to any luxury watch collection.

If they prefer something with a bit more design, the 36 mm Zebra Pave Diamond Dial would make an exciting Valentine’s Day gift. Assembled in 18K rose gold, the timepiece pictured below strikes a balance between fun and function.

A Rolex watch is an excellent way to celebrate the love you have for your significant other. You are entrusting a legacy of precision and timeless style to be worn for any occasion and passed down for generations. A Rolex is also a great symbol of achievement and aspiration, and it is a promise to continue marking your special time together.
