Holiday Gifts

American Tank: Place the instantly recognizable red box under the Christmas tree and he’ll know to open this first. Inside he’ll find another familiar look: Cartier’s Tank watch. This model is truly American-style with its oversize octagonal case, and its silvered guilloché opaline dial, with Roman numerals and sword-shaped blued-steel hands. Housed in an 18-karat gold case is an automatic-winding mechanical movement with three chronograph counters. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the American Tank XL watch retails for $19,000 and is available at all Cartier boutiques.

Style Points: Convince her that you know it’s important to show just the right colors on land as on the sea. Give this silk twill, hand-rolled scarf from Hermés (here in red) and you’ll earn big points. Sailboats with their red, white and blue spinnakers drape over the shoulder gracefully; worn rolled and around the neck, there’s a subtle hint to “take me yachting.” Also available in pink, the scarf measures 36 x 36 inches and retails for $320. www.hermes.com
