Cuff Love…

Watches Fit For Cuffs

Wearing one of today’s uber-thick wristwatches may pose a problem if you’re like most guys who wear long sleeve shirts with cuffs that button at the wrist. The average width of the cuff of a non-bespoke shirt is anywhere from 8 to 11 inches, even if you use the first button on the sleeve cuff, which will allow you a drop more room. You could opt to wear a dress shirt with French cuffs that do require cuff links to close the sleeves and may offer a bit more room on your wrist. However, French cuff shirts with cuff links have…

Women’s Fashion Week Trends

Retro-inspired styles from the Victorian age, 1970’s and 1990’s are making a comeback in many of the designer’s Fall and Winter collections. We’re seeing a lot of puffy sleeves, ruffled hemlines and high-collar necklines from the Victorian age. Oh, and lots and lots of head-to-toe floral prints. Not the biggest fan of this trend, but to each her own. The 70’s band babe was also heavily represented on the…

Hate it or Love it? Let’s Talk Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day Watches

Don’t get me wrong, if my fiancé comes home with chocolate, it will be eaten. I just mean I don’t buy into the commercial holiday. I appreciate the idea of a day to celebrate and show your love, because the world could use a lot more of that. However, I don’t think you need to go crazy at the Hallmark store or put pressure on yourself or your significant other in order to give them some good, good lovin’.…

Our Very Good Years – Men’s Watches As We Age

Watches As We Age

Call me old.  Especially around 9 PM at night when I really feel old.  Last Friday night, I spent a lot of time with the brooding side of Frank Sinatra on Youtube, and of course “A Very Good Year” came on.  That song is iconic for both the Chairman of the Board and for the whole Rat Pack lifestyle.  It expresses the good life, and how it eventually gets compartmentalized as we age in a series of moments. We start to think in generalizations about periods of our life, rather than looking on the whole.  Since I work around watches…

Minimalist Daniel Wellington Time Classics

Daniel Wellington Watches At WorldofWatches

In today’s world of bold, big impact oversized timepieces that make a statement, the Daniel Wellington watch brand stands out from the rest. Founded in 2006 by Swedish entrepreneur Flip Tysander, Daniel Wellington is popular for its sleek, uncluttered minimalist design and signature striped canvas or handsome leather straps the cases are presented upon. In his early travels around the globe, Tysander came across a gentleman who wore his Rolex Submariner watch with a vintage NATO strap featuring an attractive striped motif on canvas. Tysander was so impressed with the gentleman’s class and timeless style that he later paid homage…
