In The Thick Of Things…

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

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…

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…

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

Are you a V-Day hater, lover or is it just another day for you? Personally, I’m not into the whole card, balloons, flowers and chocolate kind of Valentine’s Day. 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

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…

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…

Out-Of-The-Pocket Time

Jeans make up a good portion of everyone’s wardrobe. From popular styles from Levis and Wrangler to designer brands Diesel, For All Mankind and Lucky to higher-end luxury designs from Ralph Lauren Black Label, Gucci and Hugo Boss, five-pocket jeans are a fashion mainstay. Levi Strauss introduced the first pair of jeans in the late 1870’s, featuring a silhouette in blue cotton denim and four pockets: two front pockets, one back pocket and a small pocket above the right hand front pocket. In 1905, Levi Strauss added a second back pocket and five pocket jeans have become the standard ever…

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,…

Égard: Where No Watchmaker Has Gone Before…

Automatic Watches, celebrity watches, Egard Watches, Men's watches, Watch Trends, women's watches, WOWtv

Although Égard Watches are relative newcomers in the world of horology the brand has created quite an impact since it debuted four years ago with bold statement wristwatches featuring intricate layered dials. Founded in 2012 by father and son team Peter and Ilan Srulovicz out of a passion for well-crafted timepieces and their intricate design, Égard has fashioned a name for itself among watch collectors and aficionados alike. Not only does the brand serve as a testament to the unbreakable bond between a parent and child, both of the Sruloviczs work together in their Los Angeles and Toronto offices to expressly…
