Lifestyle - Every Day Timing
Worldtempus - 12 March 2013
There are a host of wonderful timepieces on the market that fit in any woman's daily life - from getting the kids off to school, to managing business meetings, and going out after work with co-workers. Generally, these watches are strap or bracelet watches and often add a twist of versatility via either interchangeable straps or two-tone appeal. Indeed, with the price of an ounce of gold continually in the high retail prices, savvy dressers are looking for ways to mix gold with white metals such as sterling silver and stainless steel to get the most of today's best accessories looks for a more affordable price.
Often, too, these watches have a little extra function to them. Some may sport a date indicator, a sub seconds dial or a chronograph. Top watch brands today totally understand the concept of ease and comfort on the wrist for daily needs, and are complying by offering some of the trendiest, but timelessly elegant, watches on the market. Most often these watches are an insatiable mix of stainless steel and rose gold tones - often with a shimmering accent of diamonds to bring the look all together for a day to night appeal. What's more, today's trends are calling for slightly smaller watches, so most of these beauties are a sleek 30 to 34mm in diameter - perfect for any wrist.
Among the top brands in this arena are Baume & Mercier, with its classic Linea line that features interchangeable straps and bracelets that the wearer can easily change to match her any mood. In fact, recently, the brand even teamed with actress Emmanuelle Chriqui to design a strap for Linea. The result is a sporty chic woven strap in orange, tan and white.
Similarly, brands such as Longines and Raymond Weil are also on top of trends with two-tone bracelet looks and seasonal color strap watches that let women mix and match their jewelry wardrobe and always be in style. For everyday living and easy wearability in any situation, basic is beautiful.
