Watches are primarily for telling time, but they also serve as fashion accessories. The days of the plain Timex from the drug store are gone. Today, watches come in many different prices and styles. Like jewelry, they can be clean and modern or embellished with glitter and stones. If you are looking to update your watch, here are some styles to look for as we enter Winter 2011:
Consider a "skeleton" watch. No, it's not for Halloween! A skeleton watch is very contemporary and allows you to see the inner workings of the watch. These watches are very modern and serve as great conversation starters at parties and clubs.
Back in 1917, Cartier created the classic tank watch. His inspiration for these watches came from the tanks used in World War I. The shape is both a square and a rectangle, and the straps are hidden beneath the sidepieces. Many designers have copied this classic design, and it is available in many price points.
You have heard of unisex clothing, unisex bathrooms and unisex everything else, and there is also a unisex watch. As the name implies, the watches are neither masculine or feminine exclusively. The name unisex may imply boring and vanilla, but there are many eye-catching designs out there in this style that are worth taking a look at.
If you are more of the chic type, you will be in for a treat with just about all the designers showing gorgeous watches. There are so many shapes, straps and stones that are being used by the designers on their watches, and the results are stunning.
Make sure your watch is a great accessory for your wardrobe. No matter what look you are going for, there is a watch out there for your fashion and budget.
The stainless steel tank watch shown above is by Cartier.
