There are myriad reasons to still consider a classic watch in the technological age where smartwatches can do everything from play music to show you your vitals. A watch, with antique nuts and bolts of a watchmaker, can not only accompany your outfit but accentuate your personality. There are countless varieties still in the market that offer an incredible mix of value and quality, many of which you can buy locally.

There are a throng of jewelers in Lakeland that offer quality options at a wide range of price points that use materials from the finest sources and that don’t require the stress of driving along I-4 to get to Orlando or Tampa.

This quality is second to none. IDC is an incredible mix of value and quality, unlike anyone I’ve ever seen.”
