We kinda agree that watches aren’t really just for telling time anymore. Kids these days can’t even tell time with an analog clock, and most of the time, we just use our phones or digital devices to tell the time instead. Watches have become a luxury, an accessory – and most importantly, a fashion statement.
Fashion brands have long realised that watches are now ‘usable’ luxury, a fashion luxury that you can wear daily. They’ve been working giving their line of watches more intricate details, to add a touch of personality and identity to the wearer.
Luxury timepiece brands are all about the straps
And one of the ways brands are making sure your timepiece reflect your personality and make a fashion statement? It’s all about the watch straps.
Gucci dropped their signature coloured stripes for more details in their design. Look at the G-Frame floral-print on leather – the floral prints makes it an unique and feminine piece.
Fendi’s latest Selleria collection for men features a three-hand watch with adjustable velvet strap patterned in brown and black, featuring the signature Fendi logo and material that adds an interesting texture.
Versace went with gold 3D Medusa logos on their straps on the black strap. Characterising it with the embellishments, it’s iconic and screams Versace.
Pick your own watch strap without breaking the bank
These watches and their straps are stunning but they can be a little pricey and less versatile because you can only pair them with certain outfits. If investing in one bold watch that cost over USD1,000 doesn’t sound like the best option to you, consider investing in watch straps that you can easily fix to your existing collection of timepieces instead.
