    I'd stay away from Micheal kors unless she mentioned them

    from experience, I know when you are 60, the last thing you want is a small watch with a dial and hands that blend into eachother as the near sight is not as good. Would look for something with contracting dials to hands, ie white dial with black hands etc

    My grandmother's requirements for a watch are very specific.

    -It has to be big.
    -It has to have a plain white face with large numbers.
    -It has to have very visible hands.

    It basically has to be a small wall clock on her wrist, she doesnt care about price, movement, where it was bought etc. Just that she can read it quickly and easily.

    She has 2 (relatively) expensive tiny little womens watches that have never been worn. Currently she wears a large analog mans watch that cost her a tenner.

    I suggest you find out either by asking or covertly if she has any specific requirments like that.

    Check out Mondaine watches. Clearest watch face I've ever seen. Various sizes too.
