Statement Watches You Need to Own

For the longest time, watches have been a key accessory to both men and women, mostly because of their practical purpose and also for the elegant appeal that they lend to any outfit. The great thing about owning one – or a few, we won’t judge – is that they’re timeless and thus, always in fashion.

Even though we live in a digital age where the general purpose of watches were made moot by the invention of smartphones, people still maintain the tradition of wearing them.

Why, you ask?

Because watches are about so much more than telling the time, they make statements and express something about your personality and individual style, too. If all else fails, they’re also an easy way to change the subject and get out of awkward situations, *glances down at watch* “Oh, would you look at the time, gotta run,” being a perfect example of this. 

 

 

So now that we’ve listed all the merits of owning one, it’s only a matter of selecting the perfect watch to reflect your unique taste. 

 

Metallic & Mesh

Metallic mesh watches are the epitome of a humble brag. They’re not too flashy, so you can feel comfortable sporting them during daytime, yet they also don’t lack in the classy department, so you can confidently pair them with your evening outfits, too. In most cases, these watches are rendered in a simple style with little embellishments and a classic analogue dial. There’s absolutely no event, place or outfit you can’t wear these gems with/to. 

 

Link Bracelet Watches

If mesh watches are a humble brag, then the link bracelet variety are complete show-offs. These time-honoured favourites are usually over-the-top when it comes to embellishments and features and are most coveted for that reason. If you’re seen sporting one of these babies, you’re likely someone to be reckoned with. Like their mesh counterparts, these watches are also composed of precious metals and thus have durability and timeless appeal. 

 

Leather Strap Watches

Simple, classic and so necessary, the leather strap watch is a quintessential fixture in everyone’s collection. Their leather straps lend a simplistic finish to any outfit and can be swapped for different colour variants to complement your daily ensembles. What we especially love about these watches is that they’re so understated, yet so classy at the same time. They usually sport metallic cases and minimalist dials, but some may include diamanté-encrusted bezels or perforated detail on their straps for a more fashionable look. 

 

Smart Watches

If you’re more practically-inclined, then we suggest you consider a smart watch. Equipped with modern-age features like GPS, Bluetooth and/or built-in tracking devices that monitor your health and sync to other hand-held tech, these timepieces offer convenience at the flick of your wrist. Because there’s no time to waste and certainly none to dwell in the past, the smart watch is the future in watch-making. 

 

Tick, tock! Don’t waste your precious time by going to the mall to look for a watch to suit your taste, browse our watches category for a wider selection of timepieces and find the perfect one for you.
