Watch With Tuxedo? Is It Okay? | Black Tie Watch Guide

About this video

Sacawa explores the divisive debate around wearing a watch with a tuxedo by presenting arguments on both sides, including etiquette concerns and aesthetic considerations. He references menswear authority Alan Flusser to support his position that wearing a watch with formal wear is acceptable when done thoughtfully, then recommends five specific luxury watch models that meet his criteria for tuxedo wear.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa argues that style rules are guidelines, not absolute laws, and emphasizes his ‘golden rule’ that if something looks and feels right, it is right
• Sacawa recommends that a tuxedo watch should be time-only, made in yellow or rose gold, have a black leather strap, and be thin in profile
• Sacawa recommends five specific watches for formal wear: the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Ultra-Fine 1955, A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin, Cartier Tank Solo, Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, and Patek Philippe Calatrava
