Men's Watches: Chronograph, Sport & Everyday Styles

From bold chronographs and sport watches to polished leather-strap and bracelet styles, Hartford House's men's watch collection has a case size for every wrist. Shop online, or visit our Main Street store in St. Helena and try a few on.

Bold Chronographs, Sport Cases and Everyday Classics

Every watch here is from Shinola, the Detroit watch brand, with prices from $495 to $2,195. If you like a bigger watch, the Canfield Sport comes in 40 mm and 45 mm cases, the Runwell Chrono is 47 mm, and the Runwell Sport Chrono reaches 48 mm. The Canfield 2 Eye Chrono and Canfield Chrono C56 are more modest 43 mm chronographs, which suit a shirt cuff better. At the top of the range, the Monster Lake Ontario and Monster Lake Huron come on silver bracelets, and the Monster Bronze is an automatic watch that comes with both a leather strap and a khaki nylon strap.

For everyday wear, the Mechanic in 39 mm on a black leather strap and the Runwell in 41 mm with a white dial and brown leather strap are polished, easy choices. The Canfield in 38 mm black is a smaller option for a slimmer wrist, and the Duck, in canary, black and blue, and the Detrola, in orange and blue, on rubber straps, are more casual watches for the weekend.

A Watch He'll Keep for Years

A good watch is a gift that stays useful, so it suits a milestone birthday, an anniversary, a graduation or a first big job. A chronograph is a good choice for someone who likes a sportier look, a leather-strap Runwell or Mechanic for someone who prefers something classic, and a rubber-strap Duck for someone who wants a watch he doesn't have to think about. If you'd rather he chose himself, a gift card is always welcome.

Shinola is one of our favorite watch brands, and case size matters more than most people expect, so it's worth trying a few on the wrist. Stop by 1337 Main Street in St. Helena and our team will help you compare them, or call us at (707) 963-3198 if you have a particular watch in mind.
