In The Thick Of Things…

thick-watches

The phrase “Slim Is In” certainly does not hold true in the world of horology these days. As both men’s and women’s wristwatches have grown in diameter and width in the past two decades, they also increased in thickness as well. Influential Swiss watchmakers Raymond Weil and Movado prided themselves in the 1990’s on producing some of the thinnest timepieces available with their ultra-thin Othello and Soleil collections, measuring less than 7mm in thickness, which is little more .27 of an inch in size. The Citizen Stiletto introduced in the early 2000’s probably holds the record for being the thinnest timepiece,…

Women’s Fashion Week Trends

womens fashion week

The adage that Watch Lover mentioned in his Men’s Fashion Week recap: If you stick around long enough, everything old is new again certainly holds true for Women’s Fashion Week 2016. 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…

Here’s Proof That Two is Better Than One…

Pantone Colors of the Year

The people at Pantone went absolutely WILD and picked not one, but TWO colors of the year for 2016. Okay so technically it’s a blending of two shades, a mashup, if you will–Rose Quartz and Serenity. If you’re like me, when someone tells you these are the colors of the year, it means nothing. No colors come to mind. But once you see them, you’ll get it. It’s basically baby pink and sky blue. But according to Pantone’s website, it’s this: Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and…

Men’s Fashion Week Retro Vibes

Watches At Men's Fashion Week

The adage “if you stick around long enough, everything old is new again,” certainly holds true in the worlds of both men’s and women’s fashions. Retro inspired styles from the 1950’s through the 1990’s are always making comebacks on the runways of New York, Pairs, London, Milan and Tokyo. This week, many popular menswear looks from generations past are making a return at New York Men’s Fashion Week taking place in Manhattan, February 1 through February 4, 2016. This marks the second separate men’s fashion week event. Prior to the first event held in July 2015, men’s and women’s fashion weeks…

This One’s For The Size Queens

boyfriend watch trends

Gentlemen, keep scrolling. Nothing to see here. The skeleton watch post a few scrolls below might interest you. This one’s for my sistas… All you single ladies need not fret, because I’ve got news for you: You don’t need a boyfriend to rock the boyfriend trend. Groundbreaking, I know. Seriously though, you don’t need no man for this trend! You actually don’t NEED a boyfriend for anything. Boyfriends are like the accessories of life, aren’t they? Not a necessity to complete your ensemble, but it does add an element of excitement when you do add that watch or throw on that pair of cat-eye sunnies. Okay,…
