For your boyfriend who has a passion for watch repair and restoration, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that can make his birthday special. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Watch Repair Toolkit: Every watch enthusiast needs a proper toolkit for their repair and restoration projects. Invest in a high-quality toolkit that includes essential tools like screwdrivers, pliers, tweezers, and case openers. This practical gift will enhance his repair skills and make his work easier and more enjoyable.

2. Vintage Watch: Surprise him with a vintage watch that needs restoration. This will combine his interest in watch repair with the joy of finding and bringing new life to old timepieces. Look for a watch with sentimental value or a unique design that will make the restoration process even more rewarding.

3. Watchmaking Course or Workshop: Enroll your boyfriend in a watchmaking course or workshop where he can learn advanced techniques and enhance his skills in repair and restoration. This gift not only provides an opportunity for him to explore his passion further but also allows him to connect with like-minded individuals who share his interest.

4. Personalized Watch Storage and Display Case: A watch collector can never have enough storage space. Consider gifting him a personalized watch storage and display case, customized with his initials or a special message. This will not only showcase his collection but also keep his watches organized and protected.

5. Books on Watch Repair and Horology: Expand his knowledge with books on horology, watch repair, and the history of timepieces. Look for titles that cover various aspects of the craft, from watchmaking techniques to the stories behind iconic watch brands. This gift will provide him with insights and inspiration for his future repair and restoration projects.

6. Membership to a Watchmaking Organization: Research local watchmaking societies or international organizations that promote the art of watchmaking. Gift him a membership to such an organization, which will provide access to resources, publications, events, and networks within the watchmaking community. This gift will allow him to connect with experts in the field and stay updated with the latest trends and innovations.

7. Custom-Made Watch Tools: Get him custom-made watch repair tools with his name or a personalized message engraved on them. This thoughtful gift will not only add a personal touch but also make his repair and restoration sessions more enjoyable and memorable.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful and personal gift is understanding his passion and tailoring the gift to suit his specific interests. By choosing a gift related to his love for watch repair and restoration, you are not only showing your support but also encouraging him to continue pursuing his passion.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
