A horology-themed gift would be perfect for your grandpa who appreciates the art of clockmaking and timekeeping. Here are a few gift ideas that I think he will enjoy:
1. A personalized pocket watch: Consider gifting your grandpa a beautifully engraved pocket watch that has his name, initials or a special message on it. You could also opt for a watch with a vintage design that will remind him of his younger days.
2. A watch collector's case: Since your grandpa is a fan of horology, he may own several watches making a watch collector's case an excellent gift idea. This will allow him to display and organize his timepieces, and he will appreciate having a place to store his prized possessions.
3. Horology book: If your grandpa enjoys reading about the history of timekeeping, consider getting him an interesting book on horology. There are plenty of books available that cover the history of clocks, watches, and timekeeping that he might find fascinating.
4. A Horology Magazine Subscription: You could sign up your grandpa for a subscription to a horology magazine. This gift will allow him to learn about new developments and trends in the field of horology.
5. A day out to see antique clocks: If there's an antique clock museum or antique shop near you, consider taking your grandpa on a day trip to see some of the best horological pieces from around the world. Seeing these watches and clocks will be a treat for him and will allow you to spend some quality time together.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
