While many people may have a few watches that they swap between on a daily basis, many shoppers also can't help but want to own a luxury watch that can be taken out on special occasions.
Although these watches can be on the pricier side, their design and engineering allows them to last for years and years to come. For those looking for a simple yet classy design, we have found one on the Debenhams website that is said to be "an accessory to success".

This distinctive, Swiss-made timepiece has been said by Gervil to be reminiscent of the New York City skyline and to command attention with its stainless steel, architectural design. Featuring a 39mm unidirectional rotating bezel, the case is crafted to withstand everyday use as it is made with a sapphire-doomed, anti-glare crystal.
Said to be 'detailed to perfection', the watch boasts a magnified lens that showcases its luminous hour markers and hands on a striking black dial. The watch is finished off with a silver stainless steel bracelet with a folding deployment class for a comfortable and secure fit.
To make this watch even more versatile, it features a water resistance of up to 200m. This means the watch is robust and reliable enough to withstand any accidental drops and long periods under water.

Fashion deal of the week
In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices.
Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon.
With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis.
The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet.
Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air".
Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway.

Future of chain Claire's on UK high streets uncertain after US parent firm files for bankruptcy
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FASHION accessories chain Claire's is facing an uncertain future on UK high streets, after its US parent firm filed for bankruptcy. It is the second time the ear-piercing favourite has declared itself bust, after previously filing for bankruptcy in 2018. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Claire's is facing an uncertain future after its parent firm filed for bankruptcy Credit: AFP Its finances are now under pressure from weak consumer demand and supply chain uncertainty. The filings showed that the parent business reported liabilities of up to $10billion (£7billion) and owed between 25,000 and 50,000 creditors. Claire's operates 2,750 stores worldwide, including 280 in the UK. While British stores remain unaffected for now, the UK arm has lost £25million over the past three years and is at risk of collapsing into administration later this month. READ MORE ON BUSINESS LAST ORDERS Award-winning UK restaurant chain shuts ALL its sites after nearly a decade It has been working with advisers to explore a sale or restructuring. However, potential buyers, such as Hilco Capital, are understood to have walked away. Retail experts say Claire's is struggling to stay relevant. Julie Palmer, from Begbies Traynor, said: 'Claire's low-price offering is clearly not strong enough to win over its core customers — teens and young adults — as they now have access to a vast array of affordable and convenient products online through platforms like Amazon and Temu.' Claire's boss Chris Cramer said: 'We remain in active discussions with potential strategic and financial partners and are committed to completing our review of strategic alternatives.' Nostalgic 90's retailer files for bankruptcy after chain misses rent payments for June and July 'CORE BLIMEY! MINING giant Glenciore has decided to stick with its London stock listing, scrapping plans to shift to New York, in a win for the City. It has been listed on the FTSE since 2011, when it was valued at £37billion — at the time the exchange's largest float. However, the Swiss-based firm has announced plans to slash £753million in costs by 2026, including job cuts across its 150,000-strong workforce.

The lender doubled new corporate and small business loans to £1billion, and cut 8 per cent from its costs by axing a third of its workforce and reducing branch hours. Boss Daniel Frumkin said: 'Our strong performance reflects the decisive actions we have taken.' Elsewhere, Sabadell shareholders have approved the £2.65billion sale of TSB to Santander.

The mysteries of ‘spoof'
'Spook or spoof?' asked my husband, throwing a copy of the paper over to me, and only missing by a foot. When I'd picked it up, I read the headline: 'Fully Chinese-made drone spooking Ukraine air defence.' Then I read the introduction of the report: 'A new Russian decoy drone used to spoof Ukrainian air-defences is made up entirely of Chinese parts.' Well, to spook a person or an animal is to frighten them. It has been in use in America since between the wars and comes from the Dutch for a ghost. Spoof is a more mysterious word. Since the 1970s, to spoof has acquired the meaning 'To render (a radar system, etc) useless by providing it with false information'. Originally the noun spoof in the 1880s meant 'A game of a hoaxing and nonsensical character', or so the OED says. But I think it got things wrong from the first. In 1914 it published its entry for spoof, noting: 'Invented by A. Roberts (b. 1852), comedian.' Arthur Roberts was famous then and nine years later published his autobiography Fifty Years of Spoof. I've just read it and in a way it won't do at all, being full of unconvincing, unhilarious anecdotes. It has, however, a flavour of the late 19th century: champagne, the Prince of Wales, Dan Leno, night houses in the Haymarket, Phil May drinking. But by 1923, Roberts was not claiming to have invented spoof. He says that he was at a racecourse and saw men 'engaged in what seemed to be an entirely new form of confidence trick'. Asking the name of the game, he was told: 'Oh, it's only spoof, Arthur.' He does not explain the game. Our own Michael Heath has depicted the venerable Soho game of spoof, where two players simultaneously reveal how many coins are in their hand after declaring the total number while their fists are still clenched. It may be different from Roberts's racecourse spoof, but if not it predates Roberts's adoption of the term.

Was the car finance judgment fair?
I must modestly doubt that the Supreme Court justices took account of my 12 July column in their ruling on the issue of hidden car finance commissions. But the effect, limiting compensation claims to the more egregious cases of overcharging, is to do exactly what I hoped: namely to head off 'a tsunami of claims that could cripple lenders and provoke a mini banking crisis'. Chancellor Rachel Reeves evidently hoped so too; given that up to 90 per cent of new UK car sales are financed by loans offered through car dealerships, a collapse of that market would have put another ding in an already battered economy. The total claims bill is now estimated by the Financial Conduct Authority at between £9 billion and £18 billion – vs a possible £44 billion if the court had ruled in favour of all claimants. The relief to lenders was evident in Lloyds' decision not to add to the £1.15 billion already set aside for compensation, while shares in Close Brothers, a smaller specialist in the field, shot up by a quarter. The losers are the ambulance-chasing 'claims advisers' who were looking forward to another bonanza akin to the payment protection insurance scandal which cost banks £50 billion. But we should also ask: was the judgment fair? In particular, what of the unsophisticated car buyer who thought the dealer had a duty to offer the best finance deal, rather than to seek richer rewards for himself? On this point, the justices were magisterial. 'Each party… (customer, dealer and lender) was engaged at arm's length from the other participants in the pursuit of separate objectives. Neither the parties themselves nor any onlooker could reasonably think that any participant was doing anything other than considering their own interest.' In short and as always, caveat emptor. Who'da thought? Here's a potpourri of items at the intersection of market swings, consumer whims and 'black swans' – the latter phrase, coined by the author Nassim Nicholas Taleb, meaning unforeseen events with extreme consequences, of which Donald Trump's global tariff attack is surely one. Who would have imagined, for example, that Swiss watchmakers – whose recession-proof sector has long been a staple source of advertising revenues that underpin publications like this one – could be thrown into crisis by a 39 per cent tariff on Swiss exports to the US? Likewise, did anyone predict that the share price of the Danish pharma group Novo Nordisk would fall by two-thirds this year as its bestselling slimming drugs Wegovy and Ozempic were overtaken by the even more in-demand Mounjaro – whose maker Eli Lilly is the share tipsters' new favourite? Next, let's look at food fads. Sliced bread is in retreat in the face of 'carb-conscious health trends as well as baguettes and sourdough', says the Financial Times, reporting rumours of a defensive alliance between the owners of Hovis and Kingsmill. But ice cream is the dish of the day and not just because we're in high summer: Unilever is about to spin out its Magnum arm, the world's largest producer, while Goldman Sachs makes a multi-billion investment in the second-largest, Froneri. And Dishoom, the brasserie chain founded by two cousins in 2010 that has London curry-lovers queuing round the block, has attracted investment from a fund linked to the luxury goods giant LVMH, which values it at a chilli-hot £300 million. But here's a downbeat, rain-stopped-play kind of postscript: who'd have thought concrete could ever go out of fashion? Despite Angela Rayner's rhetoric, the level of housebuilding and infrastructure works in the UK is so quiet that sales of this most basic building material have fallen to their lowest level since 1963. A rather random holiday-season round-up, you may be thinking: what's my point? In fact I've spent most of this week reading a huge pile of entries for The Spectator's Economic Innovator awards to high-growth smaller companies – and marvelling, as ever, at the resilience and optimism they embody. Whatever happens next in this mad, mad world, be thankful for the boldness of entrepreneurs. Animal spirits Whenever I eat at La Récréation in Les Arques – which I apologise for mentioning again, but it really is worth the detour – I think of From Here, You Can't See Paris (2002), Michael Sanders's charming account of a year spent working in the restaurant and observing the seasonal rhythms of south-west France. From my own summer idyll nearby, I really can't see Paris, never mind London or Washington, but I can at least offer some parables and parallels of economic life. The first point of comparison is simply that the manifold uncertainties illustrated by my previous item leave businesses everywhere struggling to meet forecasts and deliver chosen strategies.'C'est la douche froide,' begins Le Figaro's results round-up from the CAC 40 list of leading French companies, collectively reporting a 30 per cent drop in first-half profits attributed to Trump's tariffs and geopolitical turmoil as well as limp EU growth. But at least French inflation, at barely 1 per cent – Andrew Bailey and Rachel Reeves please note – is a fraction of ours (3.6 per cent in June), thanks to low energy costs and the strong euro I observed last week. And at the micro level, in the Dordogne village of St Pompon where I've shared a house for 25 years, the Sud Ouest newspaper reports the opening of a new butchers shop by an enterprising young couple, Elodie and Max, as 'un nouveau chapitre de dynamisme pour cette petite commune'. We've also got a new pub-cum-karaoke joint, Oscar's – and on the drawing board, my own quixotic scheme to create a mini arts centre in a converted barn. I wrote last month about the 'animal spirits' that drive revival against the odds: I'd say they're alive and kicking in this lost corner of la France profonde.
