This Father’s Day, the team at Secrète Fine Jewelry picked our favorite gifts for all the dads in our lives!
Elyahu’s pick: The Junghans max bill Chronoscope
“A beautiful watch”
Why this gift: Elyahu chose the Junghans max bill Chronoscope in this striking combination of charcoal gray and camel for its unique design. The mid-century modern appeal of this gorgeous watch is great for dads who care about architecture and design, as it was designed by Bauhaus-educated architect Max Bill, who founded the Ulm School of Design (read more about his iconic collaboration with Junghans). Elyahu says, “It’s a beautiful watch.” This pretty watch has some great functionality, too. It has an automatic chronograph day-date movement, and it is well-made (gotta love that famous German engineering). We think any dad would love this watch enough to wear it every day.
Where to find: Our selection of Junghans watches is available at our DuPont Circle store, and we can ship our watches anywhere in the world. Inquire here.
Kadya’s pick: A Gold Signet Ring
“A classic piece”
Why this gift? Kadya recommends treating dad this father’s day with a customized signet ring engraved with his monogram. She says, “To me, the ultimate father’s day gift is a gold signet ring with their initials monogrammed on it. A signet ring is a classic piece that works for men who don’t wear much jewelry, and the men who love it. The monogrammed initials give it a nice personal touch.” We love that a ring like this can be customized in so many ways. Our master jeweler can make this ring in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, platinum, silver, or even a two-tone combination. Our expert engraver can do the engraving in a variety of font styles to match his taste, and he can even add in special little details or flourishes to make it more personal.
Where to find: You can start the process of custom-creating a signet ring for dad at either Secrète Fine Jewelry locations (Bethesda, MD, or Washington, DC). If you want to start the process from home, we can even scheudle a virtual consultation. Simply email us here to get started.
Mari’s pick: The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical
“For all dads”
Why this gift? Mari chose this watch for Father’s Day because “its iconic military style is timeless, making it great for all dads, young or old, trendy or classic.” This watch isn’t all style, though, as it has amazing history and mechanics. “The in-house movement in this classic army watch boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve, and features like the sapphire crystal and water resistance will keep going strong through all of his weekend projects and workouts.” Mari also loves the price-point of this watch. Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical watches start at just $495, neither too expensive nor “too fancy” for dad.
Where to find: Available today at Secrète Fine Jewelry in DuPont Circle! Stop by or inquire here.
Adèle’s pick: Cufflinks
“Express his style”
Who says the nice jewelry should only be for the moms? Adèle chose a handsome pair of cufflinks for Father’s Day 2022. She says, “The perfect gift for my dad this father’s day would have to be a pair of nice, statement cufflinks! Even though my dad is retired, he loves to dress up for the occasion. It’s a great way to express his style, in an elegant and understated way.” We love cufflinks for Father’s Day because there are so many ways to make this work for any style in any budget. Is he out to impress on Capitol HIll? Maybe a gorgeous pair of cufflinks in gold set with mother of pearl and diamonds would be just the thing. Is he more understated? We can make a simple pair of monogrammed sterling silver cufflinks just for him.
Where to find: Secrète Fine Jewelry has beautiful selections of cufflinks in both our locations, Bethesda, MD, and Washington, DC. If you don’t see the perfect pair or if you’d like to custom-design something, you can start the customization process at either of our locations or virtually by reaching out to us here.
Ori’s pick: The Hamilton Intra-Matic Automatic Chronograph
“A modern twist”
Why this watch: Ori chose this watch from Hamilton’s American Classic line because of its cool combination of retro and contemporary styles. The Intra-Matic Auto Chrono from Hamilton is classic American He says, “I like it for Father’s Day because it’s a modern twist on a very classic look.” It is so classic, in fact, that Hamilton has been producing Intra-matic models since 1968! We love the details on this watch like the patina on the lum on the hour markers and hands (you that creamy old-fashioned glow look without having to wait decades), the retro-style italicized logo, and the iconic “panda” color combination of white with black subdials. The mechanics of this watch impress, too, with the in-house H-31 automatic caliber movement.
Where to find: Find this Hamilton watch and others at Secrète Fine Jewelry in DuPont Circle, an authorized Hamilton retailer. Stop by or inquire here.
Jennifer’s pick: The Junghans max bill Chronoscope (again)
“From the boardroom to the ballpark”

Jennifer loves this “sleek yet sporty” watch and says, “The max bill Chronoscope moves easily from the boardroom to the ballpark. Its elegantly minimal design, a flattering 40mm size, and a durable sapphire crystal make this a gift that any man will treasure.” This versatile watch is great for so many dads because it can be worn anywhere. So here it is, winning our staff-pick popular vote, the Junghans max bill Chronoscope, again, proving that good looks will get you everything.
