Cyclists can border on the perfectionist when it comes to gear. To make the pickier ones happy, a product must function supremely well, look good even when spattered in mud, and combine low weight with a satisfying heft in the hand. It's a tall order.
If that sounds like someone you are buying a present for, then read our list and pick an item or two. You’ll make them very happy, feeling like someone in their life truly understands them… A cycling pizza cutter could never do that.
Paul Smith Track Watch
ADVERTISEMENT
British menswear designer Paul Smith's love for cycling is no secret, and this Track Watch is a fine thing to wear on your wrist. It's inspired by the classic stopwatches used in velodromes in years past, and is aimed squarely at the style-sensitive cyclist.
It's available with either black or brown leather straps or, as pictured above, a steel and black PVD-coated bracelet style strap. The dials come in blue, silver or black, with colour dots to indicate hours, and a three-hand movement which is reminiscent of the aforementioned stopwatches.
