An attractive timepiece is an essential part of the modern gentleman's style, whether you’re dressed for a busy day of work or a weekend of leisure and levity.
Not only functional, a nice watch gives a certain air of importance to the wearer. It's a public statement to the universe that time is valuable to you — you might have places to be.
But with expensive name brands like Rolex receiving the majority of the attention, the world of watches can be an intimidating one to dive into — not everyone has $5,000 to invest in a timepiece.
Thankfully, you don’t have to. There are tons of great options available at more affordable prices.
We recently rounded up some of our favorite watches available for under $300, under $500, and under $100. But if you're looking for something a bit more top-shelf, below we’ve collected some of the best pieces you can buy for less than $1,000. This list is a great place to start your search for a new timepiece.
If you're considering dropping big money on a luxury watch, as with any other major purchase, be sure to compare prices and do some research first. While all of the watches we've listed from Jomashop are guaranteed to be 100% authentic, they do not come with a manufacturers warranty. If you have any concerns at all, you can view Jomashop's full warranty policy here.

Certina
This Certina Diver is a great option for anyone who enjoys the style of some of the more popular Rolex timepieces, without the five-figure price point. The stainless steel look is a classic among luxury watches.
Certina DS Action Diver Automatic Black Dial Stainless Steel Watch, $575, available at Jomashop.
Alpina
Another fun watch that uses a somewhat unconventional color scheme to attract the eye. It functions as a chronograph with subdials that display 60-second, 30-minute, and 1/10th-second intervals. It’s a great pick if you’re looking for something that leans more casual than formal.
Alaina Startimer Pilot Chronograph, $736, available at Jomashop.
Tissot
Tissot is always one of my favorite watch brands to look through while searching for future posts, and this chronograph is a great example of what about the brand appeals to me. While the face is a bit busy and displays a lot of information, it doesn’t overwhelm or try to do too much.
Tissot PRC 200 Automatic Chronograph, $625, available at Jomashop.
